Customer Reviews

A Good Follow-Up to "World Upside Down"
Another solid album from House of Lords, but doesn't quite hit all the buttons like World Upside Down did for me.

The House of Lords strengths of musicianship, vocal performance, production and overall classy melodic hard rock sound are there all right, however the collection of songs isn't quite up to what was on World Upside Down. Thats no real surprise, though, as WUD was truly exceptional.

Despite that, this is still a good album well worth investing in, with some great sing-along choruses. On quite a few of the songs, I found myself thinking that if you substituted Bob Catley's voice for Mr Christians, you could be listening to a typical up-tempo Magnum track, something that didn't strike me on WUD. Overall, a good listen.

A great melodic rock record....but not as good as their last one
I suspect most people reading this review are already familiar with `House of Lords' and have purchased their amazing last studio effort `World Upside Down', and therefore I will target this review towards those people.

I guess there are two main questions fans want answered. Firstly, is this record as good as or better than `World Upside Down' - the answer is unfortunately `NO'. Secondly, is this record still worth purchasing - the answer is definitely `YES'.

I read reports of this bettering the last album. This is not the case in my opinion, but then again this would have been too much to ask. The last album was simply phenomenal and so topping that was always going to be tough.

The problem with this album is that it is musically all a bit `samey' and sounds very formulaic. Gone is the edginess and variety of the last album and sometimes it can feel like you are listening to the same song again and again. It therefore takes a few listens to start identifying with individual songs. Another slight compliant is that lyrically the songs are also very similar to each other and you are sometimes left thinking `ok, we heard this on the last song'. All the songs are quality material, but there are no killer stand-out tracks like on the last album. One thing I really appreciated however was that the album ends well and the last 2 tracks (excluding the bonus track - acoustic version of a song that appears earlier in the album) are 2 of the best tracks on the album.

This is all sounding very critical, but I am comparing it to the last album to help readers know what to expect. If I am to review the album in isolation, there are many positives and `Come to my Kingdom' is still a great melodic rock record with stellar musicianship, big choruses, and of course great vocals, as always, from James Christian. It is still going to be one of the better rock records to be released this year.

So in summary, this album is definitely worth adding to your `House of Lords' collection. Just don't keep your expectations too high.

Go to this Kingdom
I found out about House Of Lords only a few months ago purely by accident. There was a Jimi Bell section on the Dean guitar website. On the strength of hearing "Rock Bottom" I immediatly got the album "World Upside Down" The style was a magical mixture of metal guitaring fused with melodic rock. The songs are really strong so I was pleased to see the release of "Come to My Kingdom". I have purchased some of their earlier stuff which is also good but the style is very spandex rock. I was therefore hopeful that this latest effort would be in the same vein as "World Upside Down". I was not dissappointed. This album is absolutely brilliant with the title track not only being the best song on the album but just one of the best songs ever! I am so pleased I was lucky enough to find this band they a superb. Go buy the album
