A Good Album That Caught My Attention

I was a bit skeptical about all the hype this album was getting when it was released, and I still don't have the intense praise for it that many seemed to. But, with that said, I think it is definitely a good album and a great step ahead for House of Heroes.
The album dances between PopRock and Rock throughout and it's a pleasant mixture. The sound has a sound reminsicent of recent decades past with a modern tough, in my opinion. But it sounds good.
"If," "Journey Into Space Pt. 1" and "Sooner or Later" are darn catchy PopRock songs that earned their place on my playlist. "By Your Side" is an emotional ballad about brothers both drafted into war. "Lose Control" is a thrilling rock track and among the albums best. "In The Valley of the Dying Sun," "Codename: Raven," and "Field of Daggers," all provide more rock excellence.
Some missteps like "Baby's A Red," keep the album from perfection, but there's not much to complain about here. I don't think it was 2008's album of the year, but I definitely think it is a good release. View All Music And Book Reviews By JJFrancesco_NRT | View JJFrancesco_NRT's Profile
