Next album = This is the independently released album by the future members of King's X going by the name of Sneak Preview. Reportedly, only about 1,000 copies were pressed. The band were not very impressed with the results and legend has it, they personally destroyed about half of the pressed copies making this album a very rare item. It's worth about 300 USD.

The album has a definite early 80's rock sound both songwriting and production wise. It does little to set itself apart from any other acts at the time and is also quite different than the distinctive sound they would develop a few years later as King's X. However, there are a couple of seeds for future use planted here. The song "The Door" from this album was re-written lyrically and recorded for the "Ear Candy" album as "Picture". "You're The Only One" was recorded for the "Black Like Sunday" album in 2003. And the instrumental break in the middle of "Inside Outside" was re-used on the track "I Can't Help It" from the "Faith Hope Love" album.

There were 5 videoclips released for this album, "Hang On", "Together", "Linda', "Inside Outside" and "Full Scale".
