This is a FABULOUS King's X, err, I mean Doug Pinnick solo disc. Seriously, I think Doug put all his good ideas into this album and the rest went into King's X "Tape Head." There are some seriously heavy songs ("Shake," "Darker") on this disc as well as some cool riffs and an almost Jimi Hendrix experimental feel. The whole disc smokes! The rest of the King's X guys make appearances in one way of another as well. Jerry Gaskill does some drum work and the disc is mastered by Ty Tabor. Catchy album title to boot.

Written, arranged, recorded, mixed, produced and performed by Doug Pinnick. "Pinappleskunk" with it's akward title is anything but akward. Poundhoud's sophmore release is filled with killer, straight forward, and heavy, groove oriented rock numbers. This one seems a bit more experimental than "Massive Grooves". This is readily apparent in the opening of "Somedays". This one has everything that one would expect from a Doug Pinnack project including downtuned guitars, bone-crushing bass, beautiful rhythms, funky grooves, hard as nails riffs and Doug's signature vocals. This CD is also a solo album in the truest sense. "Pinappleskunk" was written, arranged, recorded, mixed, produced and performed by Doug Pinnick. Doug plays all instruments except for the drums, which are capably handled by none other than Jerry Gaskill.
