[bit.listserv.allmusic] Kings X

TD, Kings X has two albums out called 'Out of the Silent Planet' and 'Gretchen
Goes to Nebraska', both are great and have received excellent reviews, but for
some reason their sales haven't been up to par.  It's hard to describe their
style, maybe n.n preston can give me a hand since he likes them too.  They
remind me of what Rush might sound like if they were just starting out now,
very powerful guitar parts that drive the music but aren't overbearing, like
'Fly by Night' and 'Caress of Steel'.  The band is from Texas and they are a
three piece band, they do have a video on MTV called 'Summertime'.  BTW when
I was talking about the Cure, I meant the style they played around the album
called 'Pornography', droney, hypnotic, depressing style that they played.
