Most of you might know the members in this band from such
acclaimed bands like Prophet, Danger Danger, Shutgun Symphony, Message, Melodica,
Skin Tag, Arcara and The Way. The five guys behind Pleasure Dome are: Ted
Pilot (vocals), David Tsien (guitars), Charlie Calv (keyboards), Ed Avila (bass)
and John Hummel (drums).
So has this collaboration between five melodic rock veterans
resulted in something spectacular?
No, this is sadly just another middle of the road album that in no way stands
out in a crowd. Well played, written and produced songs is not enough these
days!
Sure they have written some fine and catchy rock songs, and
they are tight; a well oiled engine, but they are not firing on all cylinders,
and they do simply not have that special something that makes the songs
memorable and stick with you for a long time.
