"Ogre Tones" is the eleventh full-length studio album from hard rock/progressive rock band King's X. It was released in 2005, and is their first record for InsideOut, which is a label that is devoted to progressive music (other InsideOut artists include Ayreon, James LaBrie and Riverside).

Reception

Greg Prato of Allmusic gave the record 3.5 stars of 5, saying that "While there are a few catchy tunes — especially the album opener, 'Alone' — for the most part, riffs 'n' ranting play a prominent role here." He also said that "not all of the lyrics hit the mark", citing a line from the song "Bebop" which apparently quotes "Tutti Frutti", by legendary rock singer Little Richard.
