God Rocks…: House Of Heroes

English:

House of Heroes successfully stomped all over 2008 with The End Is Not The End, wowing critics and listeners alike, and creating tons of anticipation when they announced the follow up, Suburba. Suburba follows in the footsteps of The End... when it comes to the style, but it doesn't feel like HoH is trying to recreate it. Songs like "Elevator" (with its excellent musicianship) and highlight "God Save The Foolish Kings" (with its progressive structure and energy) display what fans have come to love in the band's newer material. "Independence Day For A Petty Thief" doesn't grab the listener as much, but longtime fans of the band may have an appreciation for it, as it is reminscent of some of their pre-The End... songs. There's also a bit of old school rock and roll influence apparent. "Salt in the Sea" has a Beach Boys feel (except with some more worshipful lyrics), while "Constant" reminds me very much of an '80s rock ballad. Overall, it's a good rock record (not to mention good tunes for the remainder of the summer), but it's not quite as good as their last outing. In House of Heroes' defense, however, I don't know if anyone really expected it to surpass The End..., so that doesn't have a lot of bearing. The album is still really good and worth the money. Suburba is good for fans of rock music and House of Heroes in general.

Español:
HOH pisoteó con éxito en todo el 2008 con "The End Is Not The End", sorprendiendo a críticos y oyentes por igual, y la creación de mucha anticipación cuando se anunció el seguimiento, Suburba. "Suburba" sigue los pasos de The End... en lo que respecta al estilo, pero no se siente como HOH está tratando de volver a crearlo. Canciones como "Elevator" (con su excelente música) y seleccionar "God Save The Foolish Kings" (con su estructura progresiva y enérgica) muestra que los fans han llegado a amar este más reciente material de la banda. Desde hace mucho tiempo los fans de la banda puede tener un aprecio por ella, ya que es reminiscencias de algunas de sus pre-The End ... canciones. También hay un poco de influencia de la vieja escuela de rock n roll. "Salt in the Sea" con algunas letras de canciones de adoración , mientras que "Constant" me recuerda mucho a un rock balada de los 80. En general, es un excelente disco de rock.
