New House of Lords

http://www.melodicrock.com/showcase/houseoflords-cartesiandreams.html

James Christian is indeed a great singer...but I'm beginning to be uninterested in HOL output...sounds decent enough, though...I'm sure it's just me. LOL!

I'll be interested to see how this one goes. World Upside Down was great, Come To My Kingdom has some really good stuff but was a step down.

Anyone get this? It's great, Jimi Bell is more aggresive on the guitar and the energy is really up there. A top ten this year for me.

I shall completely change my story now and say that this new album kick ass! I love that dudes voice and the music on this new one ROCKS!! If you liked the last 2, there's no reason not to love this one...

I got and it rocks! I think it is as good as Come to my kingdom which I thought was a fantastic cd.

I might have to pick this up. I haven't got anything from House of Lords since their debut album way back when. It was a great album though, so I'm not sure why I've never followed these guys.

I'm familiar with a few HOL albums, but I've never owned one. I wanted to get this one as soon as I heard about it, but then I heard samples online and decided against it. Then I read some really high praise for it, checked out some samples again and decided to order it. I got my copy in the mail the other day and I listened to it on the way to work today -- good stuff!

I'm not the biggest fan of melodic rock, a lot of times it is just wimpy sounding to me, but HOL just does something for me. They tread a fine line between melodic rock and hard rock. Great vocals too.

Great bands, great vocals

Can anyone verify that Jimi Bell was second to Zak for being Ozzies guitarist. i'm sure I read that but can't find it now.

x2!

I need to get Cartesian Dreams! I loved CTMK!

This album is fantastic!!
All songs are great, and Greg Christian is an awesome singer!
One of very few new releases that has excited me lately.

It's odd that with all the melodic metal being pushed you don't hear much about HOL. They do it better then most.

I got this latest one and it's pretty good. No complaints from me. They are good at what they do.

I think it is every bit as good as the previous one..
