This Album by Spanish's No. 1 Rock Import Dover is probably one of the better melodic rock/punk albums ever! The Female vocals are incredible. I saw them live and the leader's voice isn't like anything you've ever heard. I've talked to people who saw them supporting WEEZER on their Europe Tour, and after seeing DOVER, they thought WEEZER stank. They stole Weezer's Tour!! No wonder they were invited to join the entire Warped Tour 2002, touring through the US. It won't take long for them to take over the world and prove that it's way wrong to think that great rock can only come out of the US. Americans...watch out for Europe's Music Invasion!!
I first heard King George on Rock Band 3, and thought "damn that's a catchy song". The more I played it, the more I loved it. Then I decided to find out what the rest of their songs sounded like, and to my surprise, I liked every song of theirs I could find on youtube. When I found myself using the Youtube app on my phone and an aux input on my car stereo to listen to "My Secret People" while I was driving to work, I knew I had to buy the album. I was surprised again to see the $25 price on the album, not just for the $$$ but because the CD was an import into the US from Spain (that's right they're from Madrid, but you would never know listening to them). But you know what? IT WAS TOTALLY WORTH THE PRICE. This is a great album, I could listen to every song on this over and over again. You have songs that go from rock and slightly punk like "My Secret People", to the alternative "King George", all the way to the almost death metal "Death Rocker", and each one is a gem. And this band has such a unique sound too. This... is what music discovery is all about.
And on a side note, the shipping was really fast from this seller. I got it in three days!
Great album and a very underrated band. King george and my secret people are tracks that are worth getting the whole album for.
I heard "Love Is A Bitch" on the soundtrack of Amores Perros, which opened a new world of music to me. Dover's singing and crashing guitars made me want to hear more, so I ordered this CD. No disappointment- the sisters who front the band understand how to rock and every cut is well done.
