Free Music Review: NOW PLEASE PICK ME UP OFF THE FLOOR
Hit: 5 Stars
Well they have done it again, I thought "World Upside Down" would never be topped, but I was very wrong. I honestly think this is the best release by HOL and already I am thinking a top ten disc in my collection. Everything on offer here has been switched up a notch to reach melodic nirvana. The songs are all extremely well crafted and the lyrics I think are sublime. There seems to be a spiritual feel to the songs this time round, references to higher bliss and passion and ectasy abound.
The title track "Come to My Kingdom" is a stomper, a big heavy blast of rock but containing ample light and shade. James Christian asks "where is your faith now I've tested it" trust me I believe in this band's talent big time. The chorus is a triumph and the bridge brings it home in breathtaking fashion. Love it.
Follower "I Need To Fly" has a very eighties feel and one of the discs many fine vocal performances. Again a chorus that reminds you why you love this genre of rock. This song smolders raher than punches and is a great compliment to the opener. Not sure who is adding the extra layers to the vocals here but it works very well. "I Don't Want To Wait All Night" is another instant hummer and builds and builds between the chorus. Still no let down at song three. Perhaps the most sexually overt offering on this CD it has a low down bass line and a sexy swagger to it.
"Another Day" borrows quite obviously from the debut HOL album song "Love Don't Lie" and an element of "Field of Shattered Dreams" from the last release but that doesn't make it anything less that awesome. You get a stripped back version of this song at the end of the disc too. A great song exploring those who wait for the touch of God's grace. Sirens wail to introduce "In A Perfect World" a great rocker, indeed I almost can hear a nod to 'Were Not Gonna Take It' in the drum work. Don't worry its the only similarity. The chorus takes second fiddle to the brilliant verses which really carry the song. Is that Robyn Beck on backings? Great song.
"The Dream" is as smooth as silk, definately my favourite, just try not to get lost in the pomp and granduer. "One Foot" is another rocker and owns a great vocal and bridge/chorus combo. "Your Every Move" is an anthem built on a Boston like guitar flurry. "I Believe" sounds like a flash back to Giuffria daze.
Just when you think it can't get any better along comes "One Touch" built on soaring vocals and dirty guitar its a really fantastic combo. Nicely rounded out with keyboards. Winner of the silver medal. "Even Love" I think is the weakest song but amongst such great company that seems mean-spirited to even suggest it.
Closer proper "In the Light" closes things as strongly as they began. A true rock masterpiece, big and epic. Great song craftmanship again. Indeed this band has written some of the best rock these ears have heard on this one release. Tragic that this has no US release but trust me with a product this great no price is too high. Don't delay in investing in such a fabulous opus-grandious. Phew!!
Come to My Kingdom Poster
In the grand tradition of bands such as Deep Purple, Whitesnake and Van Halen - L.A. s House of Lords is arena rock alive-and-well. Originally formed in 1989 and signed by Kiss s Gene Simmons to his Simmons Records label, H.O.L. has long been the torch-bearer for classic, melodic hard rock. Chock-full of anthem-like choruses, and featuring the soaring vocals of James Christian H.O.L s music is heartfelt and just plain fun.Hard Rock & Metal Music CDs
