Out of the Silent Planet is the debut release from King's X. The title of the album comes from that of a book by C.S. Lewis, an author favored by band members Ty Tabor and Jerry Gaskill. "Out of the Silent Planet" is also the title of the first track from the follow up album Gretchen Goes to Nebraska. The cover art features the skyline of Houston with the southern out line of the state of Texas.
All songs written by Gaskill/Pinnick/Tabor, except Sometimes and Far, Far Away written by Pinnick/Tabor/Gaskill/Marty Warren.
