Pleasure Dome
For Your Personal Amusement
Rating
Style: Melodic Rock
Release date: July 18th 2008
 

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.
