Ear Candy was released in stark contrast to the previous King's X album, Dogman which was dark, self-searching and responsive to the negatives in life. This album begins with "The Train", a lighthearted romp in heavy rock. With this song, King's X seems to find some sunshine after the clouded world of Dogman (which I actually prefer to this album). The rest of the fare offered is about the same. Lighter, pithier songs; lyrically speaking. Doug, Ty and Jerry still keep the hard rock pounding. The album as a whole is good with some high and low points, but still very good overall. A definite must have for the King's X faithful. If you are new to the band, try some of their earlier stuff before you grab this one.
This is not their best, nowhere close to Gretchen nor Silent Planet. It has some good songs, of course, but as a whole not quite up to par for a band as talented as King's X. While not as dark musically as the grungy Dogman, the lyrics are still just as dark, less positive and less hopeful. The themes are simple and not explored much, especially those more spiritual/religious. There are some hits, but the choruses would compare to anything trite in the pop-world.
awesome album!
