I absolutely love "The X!" When I'm tuned into terrestrial radio, there is nothing else I listen to! Any review that talks about music that the station is spinning, is outdated. Alternative is a very liquid format, changing flow & direction regularly. So, personally defined ideals of what alternative is and isn't really are a moot point. Depending on your taste, you may like it, or you may not. Give it a listen though before dismissing it. Especially if you haven't in a while...
DISCLAIMER: Hi "DigbyOnTheX" for a reason :)
