as I recall, it wasn't very well promoted because by the time it came out, the media had moved on from the Breeders/Belly/Throwing Muses/Dinosaur Jr etc etc type bands, and the label didn't offer up much support.
King is a different direction -- I remember reading interviews where Tanya DOnnelly spoke about the way the production was vastly different from Star -- mostly, the producer kept telling her to put more strength behind her voice, and to stop singing like a little girl. You can hear that in the album, but it just didn't "click."
I think it was more buried by the death of things like 120 Minutes on mTV (Where "Feed the Tree" (probably the worst Belly song) had a lot of exposure, though.
