Dirty King is an album by the Canadian rock band The Cliks. [4] [1] It was released on June 23, 2009, on Warner Music Canada and Tommy Boy Records. [5]
The album was produced by Sylvia Massy. [5]
The Dallas Voice wrote that the album "comes off a bit over polished but the quality of songs here surpasses any critique of overproduction." [3] Blurt called the album "killer guitar riffs, throbbing drums, and punk coolness all anchored by singer Lucas Silviera’s wickedly primal vocals." [6] The Advocate wrote that the album "switches from snarling swagger and foot-stomping rock to beautifully harmonized ballads seamlessly, refusing to be typecast as one genre or another." [7]
All songs written by Lucas Silveira, except for where noted.
