| Album Notes: This album marked the end of the band's relationship with producer and often referred to "4th member" Sam Taylor. The band cites creative differences for the split. The bonus track "Junior's Gone Wild" appears on some foreign releases of this album and on the soundtrack for the movie "Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey". This album was the band's first album to be released exclusively on the Atlantic label. There was a video made for the track "Black Flag" which saw moderate airplay on MTV and even on "Beavis and Butthead". There were actually 2 versions of this video made but only the one was released commercially. The second video featured darker imagery and a different general theme. The released video for Black Flag keeps the band's positive type video image as in the previous releases. The video was filmed on location in Dallas, TX and Fontana, CA. The original title for the album was "Since Hector Was a Pup".... When the band saw thew artwork of Randy Rogers they dropped the title. The inspiration for the song "World Around Me" came to Doug while listening to the 'Looney Tunes' theme song |

| Review by Ed Rivadavia Having lost their way somewhat with the overtly commercial and carefree Faith Hope Love, King's X tried to regain lost momentum with their eponymous fourth release. The album explores the darker side of their songwriting with mixed results, often over-compensating for the cheerfulness of its predecessor at the expense of the courageous experimentation for which the band had become known. The unprecedented aggression in the opener "The World Around Me" illustrates the band taking stock of this new challenge and fighting back, while the first single, "Black Flag," clearly displays their fresh no-nonsense approach. The excellent "Prisoner" and "Lost in Germany" are also standouts, and despite its confusing lyrics, closer "Silent Wind" manages to put a positive spin on things. Other interesting moments include the wistful "Dream in My Life" and the somber "Ooh Song," which harkens back to days past with its prog rock feel and use of space. |
