King of Fools (album)
''King of Fools'' is a Grammy nominated〔Furious? Records Grammy Nomination http://www.furiousrecords.com/artists.html〕 studio album by the British rock band Delirious?, initially released in June 1997. The full-length project showcased a new mainstream sound, whilst retaining many of the core themes found in their Cutting Edge EPs. Stylistically, the album epitomises the band's similarity to U2, an influence which was highlighted by several critics on release. ''King of Fools'' reached No. 13 in the UK album chart, a career high for the band, and produced four singles. The second, "Deeper", peaked at No. 22 on the UK singles chart on 11 May 1997. It also includes what is possibly the best known Delirious? song, History Maker, which the band regularly played live throughout their whole career. The album was listed at No. 85 in the 2001 book, ''CCM Presents: The 100 Greatest Albums in Christian Music''.
== Background ==
Delirious? were originally known as "The Cutting Edge Band" before 1996. They played regularly at the "Cutting Edge" Christian events held in their hometown of Littlehampton. In August 1995, a major car accident involving lead singer Martin Smith, his wife, and bassist Jon Thatcher, left the former was badly injured. The song "August 30th" was inspired by these events. Smith went through a period of depression,〔Interview With Martin Smith http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NCXgBRVCwnE〕 before being partly inspired by Bill Flanagan's book ''U2: At the End of the World'', which he read in hospital, to take the band full-time. The members of the band decided to resign from their respective jobs and become professional musicians. Delirious? soon began working on songs for their first full studio album.
