Please Come Home...Mr. Bulbous - Green

Originally released in 2000, Please Come Home... Mr. Bulbous stands as one of the most creative, unpredictable, and emotionally resonant albums in the King's X discography. A product of pure artistic freedom, this record was written collaboratively in the studio by all three band members, resulting in one of the most cohesive and inspired bodies of work the band ever created. Free from the expectations of commercial radio or label interference, Mr. Bulbous is King's X unfiltered-bold, strange, and strikingly beautiful. The album's title-like much of it's charm-defies easy explanation. In the spirit of Gretchen Goes to Nebraska, the band chose a name that felt curious, quirky, and maybe even meaningless... or maybe it meant everything. What unfolded musically was an ambitious and emotive journey, with tracks like "Fish Bowl Man," "Julia," and "She's Gone Away" serving as standout moments of depth and experimentation. Ty Tabor's guitar solo on "She's Gone Away" is often hailed as one of the greatest of his career-recorded in a single take, raw and perfect. Jerry Gaskill's contributions as a lyricist and vocalist are more prominent here than ever before, adding layers of poetic nuance to the album's texture. Doug Pinnick's signature soulful presence anchors the record with undeniable heart and groove. What once may have seemed like a left turn for the band has aged into a fan-favorite classic. Even those who didn't immediately connect with Mr. Bulbous upon it's release now celebrate it's lasting impact and layered brilliance. As Jerry Gaskill reflected years later, Tape Head, Mr. Bulbous, and Manic Moonlight represent a special time for the band-records created shoulder to shoulder, in complete unity. Now, for the first time ever, Please Come Home... Mr. Bulbous receives the deluxe vinyl treatment it so richly deserves. Remastered in 2025 by Rob Colwell (King's X, Nevermore, Galactic Cowboys) with incredible sonic clarity, the album is presented on stunning Lime Green vinyl-limited to just 250 copies worldwide. The reissue includes a 12x12 full-color insert featuring lyrics and rare band photos, all housed in a premium jacket as part of Brutal Planet Records' exclusive Limited Run Vinyl series. Celebrate the 25th anniversary of one of King's X's most daring and rewarding albums-a record that challenged expectations and emerged as a timeless work of musical integrity. Please Come Home... Mr. Bulbous isn't just a title; it's a mysterious invitation into a world that only King's X could create.
