2.0 out of 5 stars
..., June 3, 2006
This review is from: Say No More (Audio CD)
This 2 star rating is not a reflection of the quality of music on this album. Indeed, it is chock full of great, great songs. Instead it is indicitive of Mono vs Stereo/Gotee Record's inept handling of it.
In early 2005 Gotee released House of Heroes self-titled album. It was a great, great cd. Now, 1.5 quarters into 2006 Mono vs Stereo (which is a sub-label of Gotee) re-releases the album under the title "Say No More" and with different artwork, and two new songs (and, incidently, sans one of the old ones). And I don't know if the title is a Monty Python reference ("Say no more, say no MORE!") but it always gives me a flashback to the Flying Circus.
And my big gripe is that when you see this CD in the stores there is no sticker proclaiming "re-release of House Of Heroes with two new songs!" NO! It is just sitting on the shelf, pretty as you please, looking all the world like a new album.
Sigh.
Look-- this is a great album if you don't already own the self titled House of Heroes cd. So if you are new to the band disregard the two star rating above and assume I made it 5 stars. However, for everyone else who already owns "House of Heroes" just go to iTunes (or where ever you buy fine tracks online) and get the two songs new to this release.

A Solid Album, July 5, 2007
This review is from: Say No More (Audio CD)
I'm not a long-time listener to H.O.H., but from now on I'll start on that. This is a solid rock album and a good one to listen to. Buckets for Bullet Wounds opens the CD well with good lyrics and a good rock sound. Fast Enough has some of my favorite guitar and bass sounds from any band or song. Friday Night starts off kind of slow, but steadily works into a good song. The Invisible Hook is really catchy and shows really well the complacency of Americans. I could go on, but then I'd just be saying what I like about each song. They're really all good. I wholly recommend this CD--five stars.

Incredible, October 3, 2006
This review is from: Say No More (Audio CD)
This album is one of the best I've ever owned. Their drummer is probably my favorite of any band I've ever listened to. The music keeps you listening, always anxious to hear the next part even if you've memorized the cd. If you have any extra cash laying around you should definitely BUY THIS CD!
