Customer Reviews:

9.0/10 Unbelievable album........2007-02-22

I am shocked that this band never got more attention than it has. This is the only King's X album I have but it is in my top 10 CDs of all time. It's ridiculously good. It took a few listens to really get into it but once I'd heard it enough times, I was hooked. No song is really bad and there are some great ones. Over My Head is ridiculously amazing and I'm surprised it's not a noted classic song along with Pianoman, Stairway to Heaven and Freebird. Summerland and Out of the Silent Planet are also fantastic. The way Fall on Me starts is awesome. The riff in that is one of the best although the rest of the song is lacking a little bit. Overall, I'd give this CD a 9/10 because it's not perfect but it has some incredible songs on it and it blows my mind that more people haven't heard it.

Still as fresh now as it was then........2007-01-09

I discovered King's X on "Head Banger's Ball" on MTV back in '89 with the 'Summerland' video. I think it followed a video by Nuclear Assault! Is that funny or what? Anyway, GGTN was mine the next day and would have been mine right then if the stores were still open. Man...What a great album by a great group that just gets better with every spin (of the cd that is). Add this to your collection and most of the cds in it will pale.

Awesome Progressive Rock from a very underated KING's X.......2007-01-04

Wonderful Hard Rock with great Vocal Harmonies reminiscent of "The Beatles". I like the Spiritul tone of the lyrics and Doug's powerful lead vocal. Ty Tabor is excellent as usual. I am definetly sold on KING's X!

One of the GREATEST Hard Rock Albums ever recorded!!.......2006-12-14

Not much needs to be added to the existing reviews. Only the fact that this is one of the most passionate, most powerful rock albums EVER recorded and I would put it in my top 10 hard rock albums of all time!! Why these guys aren't MUCH bigger than they are is one of commercial music's great mysteries!!! Guess it's a reflection on the sorry state of the modern music business!! And Ty Tabor is one of my favorite guitarists as well, as good as ANYONE out there but (unlike many, MANY others) knows when to hold back!!

Unfortunately, in my opinion, they have never equaled it though they are still one of the most talented bands out there. If you listen to rock at all, in ANY form, buy this CD...but it NOW!!

unexpected love affair.......2006-11-09

I hate so called PROG ROCK ( YES / GENESIS etc. ) and after the first run through this struck me as rather HO HUM and of similar ilk. I love TY TABOR and so had to give this a thorough listen before making a final decision on it's place in my extensive cd collection ( never to be played again seemed likely ). After a dozen or so listens, this has grown on me with every listen and keeps getting better with almost every outing. From an instant dislike, I have now become a fan and have ordered a few more KINGS X cd's. Like with most things TABOR, the hooks are irresistable and every song has an identity. These songs are superb examples of great composition's. Despite an apparent simplicity, there is a hidden depth that only becomes obvious after many listens.
GREAT MUSIK - BUY IT!!!!
