King's X (who?) are a power trio from the States who, from out of nowehere, produced one of the most oustanding debut albums I have ever heard. Despite the apparent Christian overtones to the lyrics, which does not detract from the feel of the album, "Out of the Silent Planet" is a mix of stoner rock (as we would call it now), 70s heavy rock (eg Eagles) and even The Beatles! No, there are not pages and pages of lyrics, but short, catchy, repetitive passages and wierd rhythm/time chanegs make for a toe-tapping listen. You will be humming along on the first listen, and singing along on the second run-through, I guarantee it. The album may not be as immediate as some others, but do persevere - it really is that good, and it deserves a couple of listens to really get inside your head! Every track has its own signature sound yet, despite obviously tight production, the band just sound like they are enjoying themselves and jamming! It never sounds forced. What a shame this vibe was never repeated in their subsequent albums! Overall, one of my top 10 albums of all time - and just glad to have on CD now! If you haven't got this i your collection, you need it!!Read full review
