The same cast returned from the first record with Mark Avsec again playing a pivotal role. \nKing Cool toned down some of the New Wave leanings of Back on the Streets and concentrated more on a classic rock sound yielded rewarding results. Three singles charted from King Cool including the melodic \"Sweet Merilee,\" which featured some lovely harmonies. Two songs managed to go Top 40; the rollicking, percussion-driven \"Love Is Like a Rock\" and \"My Girl,\" their biggest hit reaching number 25, which opted for a doo wop feel. Iris is a belter, vocally, and it worked to good effect on other infectious tracks like \"The Promise,\" the punchy \"Pretender,\" and the mid-tempo ballad \"The Last to Know.\" King Cool managed to break no new ground, but served as a loving homage to crunchy, singalong rock. ~ Tom Demalon\u003cp\u003eTracklisting:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.Sweet Merilee2.The Promise3.Pretender4.Love Is Like A Rock5.That's The Way Love Ought To Be6.My Girl7.Broken Promises8.King Cool9.Color Me Blue10.The Last To Know11.Shock Treatment (Live)(ボーナストラック)\u003cbr\u003e1.Sweet Merilee\u003cbr\u003e2.The Promise\u003cbr\u003e3.Pretender\u003cbr\u003e4.Love Is Like A Rock\u003cbr\u003e5.That's The Way Love Ought To Be\u003cbr\u003e6.My Girl\u003cbr\u003e7.Broken Promises\u003cbr\u003e8.King Cool\u003cbr\u003e9.Color Me Blue\u003cbr\u003e10.The Last To Know\u003cbr\u003e11.Shock Treatment (Live)(ボーナストラック)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rock Candy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51958621733153,"sku":"5056321617989","price":2690.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/5056321617989.jpg?v=1761773010","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/products\/5056321617989","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
