I've ignored these guys for quite awhile. When they first came out, that Over My Head song bugged me. The band being dubbed as "Christian Rock" probably also forced me to ignore them.

Well, I was watching VH1 one night, one of those list shows, and King's X came up. As usual on those shows, musical peers are giving their opinion of the song or band. Of course, the interviewees are pumping up how great of a band they are.

I knew one of my buddies had a lot of their CD's, so I asked to borrow them. Wow. I am now convinced that they are easily one of the most talented three-piece rock bands ever formed. Great talent, great harmonies. I see they get compared to The Beatles a lot, at least that you can hear the Beatles influence in their music. I now feel ashamed that I've ignored them for 20 years, but excited that I found something new.

Any other fans? Opinions?

I'm not real familiar with them, but enough to know that they don't get enough respect.

I'm not a huge fan, but I did love their most recent album.

You know Doug Pinnick, the singer, came out a few years back which has caused a bit of a problem with their religious fans.

I got to sell t-shirts for this Houston Band. We saw them at a club, Hot Spots, around McAllen.

We showed up, and they were short a roadie. I jumped at this friggin' opportunity. Got to hang with them, party with them, just chill with these guys.

I started getting lost around Mr. Bulbous, but need to get Ogre Tones, and I know I missed another album; I liked songs from that one alot, too.

I never got to seem them perform with Galactic Cowboys. I never got to see Galactic Cowboys. Ouch.
