Just nabbed this album off one of the Amazon 3rd party sellers. It's a
best-of collection, but I think at least some of the tracks have been
re-recorded for it. Anyway, it's a winner. The concept is a bunch of
18th century aristocrats playing songs about snobbery and class elitism
in a heavy rock vein. The songs are witty enough but the band really
rocks. They are to AC/DC what the Rutles were to the Beatles (with the
added historical twist).
Best tracks are Let Them Eat Rock, Cream Of The Crust , High Falutin'
and Little Lord Fauntleroy. I think Audities bods might enjoy this
quite a lot.

> When the subject of no mans land of Metal - Power Pop comes up, the 1st band that pops (pun intended) to mind is The Szuters. Great great melodic stuff in the Enuff Z Nuff / Cheap Trick vain. Their electronic footprint is almost invisible on the net but I was able to locate one of their top tunes ("Antichrist Theme") here:

> The best band on the plant right now (IMHO) combining HoOKs + melody + RoCK are (surprise) THE WiLDHEARTS. They are about release a Covers CD that really highlights there diversity in tastes that really comes across in their albums.The Track listing is as follows:

> 01 Unsung (Helmet)
> 02 The World Comes Tumblin' (The Distillers)
> 03 Understanding Jane (The Icicle works)
> 04 Waiting Room (Fugazi)

> 11 Battleship Chains (Georgia Satellites)
> 12 Carmelita (Warren Zevon)
