King's X | Billboard
src: www.billboard.com

Ear Candy is the sixth album by heavy metal/hard rock trio King's X, released in 1996.

The album has two songs which are rewritten versions of earlier songs: "Picture" is also known as "The Door", a song with different lyrics, released on their pre-King's X release Sneak Preview. The song "Mississippi Moon" is mainly inspired on the song "If I Could Fly", which King's X played in shows after they had changed their name to its definite version, King's X.

The bonus track "Freedom" can also be found as a b-side of the single "A Box". It was later given a proper release on the album Ogre Tones.

Album notes

  • This would be the last studio album King's X would release on Atlantic Records.
  • "American Cheese (Jerry's Pianto)" is the second released song to feature Jerry Gaskill on lead vocals. The term pianto is a made-up word and is meant as a joke.
  • "American Cheese (Jerry's Pianto)" and "Lies In the Sand (The Ballad of...)" produced by Ty Tabor and King's X.
  • "A Box" features additional vocals by Glen Phillips of Toad The Wet Sprocket.
