OK, This is not the greatest KING DIAMOND release, but it is far from the worst. "House Of God" has a much more "rock" sound on the album, especially due to the drums. This is very melodic and also very catchy. Lyric wise King sticks to his story theme, which is very enjoyable. If you are a King Diamond fan you will enjoy this like any other King album, if you are a new fan go buy "Abigail" or "Fatal Portrait" first, then get this!
