HOUSE is your average modern heavy metal band - think Saliva
-
who mix early metal concepts with modern gloss and mainstream pop
appeal. Some of the songs on ~Life, Love, and the Pur$uit Of
Poverty~ are better than others, although overall this album is
pretty familiar and relatively unoriginal.
"Nice Shine" is one of the album's highlights. It's
a strong, overtly melodic tune with some nice guitar soloing.
Interestingly, it is followed by a much less mainstream-styled tune
called "TTMV," which is aggressive and explosive in the vein
of Opeth and In Flames, except less extravagant.
The angry and yet silly-named "Poop" is also convincingly
ferocious.
The tracks on ~Life, Love, and the Pur$uit Of Poverty~ are
all solid and rockin', but none of it is original or particularly
interesting. This definitely has mainstream potential but lacks
anything great.
