This second SUNSTORM album is definitelly one of the highlights in melodic metal AOR in 2009!It's 100 % brilliant and it's following the sensational previous album,debut album that was also well received by all the lovers of this music style!Mr JOE LYNN TURNER seems to be like a fish in the water in this AOR style!His voice really fits perfectly to this type of music and he's able to combine very intelligent the sensitive and emotional slow songs,ballads-here Turner really shines-with midtepmo songs,with a strong melody and punchy choruses!This second SUNSTORM album -HOUSE OF DREAM-is excellent from the first to the last one-and it's so rare to have nowadays an album of this caliber-brilliantly composed and performed,without any single weak song!Such inspired melodies and refrains and a perfect production-DENNIS WARD brand-a 100 %winning formula for FRONTIERS RECORDS-the best European label in melodic metal!This type of album proves that melodic rock still has many beautiful days ahead and old rockers like JL TURNER still have many aces in their pockets!The voice of RAINBOW,MALMSTEEN and DEEP PURPLE still sounds superbe and he has a brilliant vocal technique as well,able to express himself in a very attractive way in 2009 after so many years in service of metal or hard rock!!The slow songs are really killer-Turner's voice is wonderful and transmits so many emotions and feelings trough sensitive music!Not only in my humble opinion-but after many specialized websites and magazines-one of the best melodic albums in 2009!!!5 STARS for a great AOR album!A masterpiece of the genre!
