The Swedish high-quality AOR project Houston is back with their long awaited follow-up album to their highly acclaimed debut release from 2010. Houston plays AOR/melodic rock in Journey, Boston and Survivor league. Hank Erix on vocals is an amazing vocalist and a given front man. His vocals are one of the biggest reasons that I find this band so interesting. Scandinavian AOR mixed with nice and soothing west-coast rock melodies. Sounds perhaps very strange and tame in harsh metal ears, but we who appreciate this genre with pure, high vocals and well written lyrics spiced up with outrageously fancy guitars will enjoy Houston's new album for a long time. All that a great AOR record must have in its musical recipe is interwoven and when the production is in world class, there is not much left to be desired for. The album is of course full of melodic and golden rhythms, packed in a solid and flawless production.
If you are into the softer melodic hard rock corner, this is
something to check out. Not a monster disc or a future classic
album. Just a good album! This may be one of 2013's better AOR releases for far. Houston: |
