Reception

The A.V. Club reviewer John Krewson said although "Cave is one of the more interesting songwriters making music today" that King Ink II was "for-fans-only."[3]

gollark: The correct political/economic system is me as supreme world dictator. I would work something good out probably.
gollark: YOU will be transported to Brazil.
gollark: You can simulate quantum computers on classical computers. It's just very slow.
gollark: Real time conversation rate is maybe 40 WPM which is, according to my calculator, about 25 times faster than that, so there may be difficulties.
gollark: Obviously that isn't very fast and you'd want to run the candles at a greater baud rate or put some in parallel.
