Overview Edit

King James Version, originally released by Sire Records on September 12, 2000, is the second full-length album by alternative rock band Harvey Danger. Although it garnered critical acclaim, it failed to produce a hit song, unlike the earlier Where Have All The Merrymakers Gone?. After the release of King James Version, the band took a three-year hiatus.

The album is characterized by a polished and energetic indie rock style and lyrics laden with historical, literary, and pop cultural allusions.

4 stars Why has everyone forgot about this incredible band?
I was as floored as anyone once I gave "Where Have All The Merrymakers Gone?" a listen past "Flagpole Sitta." When your only popular single can easily be among the worst songs on your debut, the public as a whole seems to be missing out. "King James Version" hasn't even got that much respect. Nelson's lyrics come out as strong as ever in one of the best rock albums released that year, and if any band deserves more recognition its Harvey Danger. Unfortunately, this has to go in to that infamous category "Best Band You've Never Heard."

3 stars Not as good, too bad
We waited too long for this album and unfortunately it isn't as good as the first one. Perhaps if it had come out first with nothing to compair it to it would be better. My favorite is "Pike St/Park Slope" which is absolutely beautiful. But there are no songs that compair with "Carlotta Valdez," "Wolly Muffler," and "Problems and Bigger Ones." It's not a bad album and for the true Harvey Danger fan, I would say - go ahead and buy it, but don't expect too much. If you liked "Sad Sweetheart of the Rodeo," go buy the first album!
