"This album rocksers yer boxers. I own this album, as well as Flying. But, if you think these guys are good, listen to their lead guitarist Pete Stewart's solo effort after the band's regrettable split. It was produced in about 1999, I believe. A noble effort, a noble man, & quite admirable."
What a shame...

"Why do the best bands always have to break up? I found out about grammatrain about a year ago while looking for good christian music on amazon. What I found blew me away. I never knew christian music had its own Soundgarden, one of my favorite secular bands. Grammatrain has awsome, UNDERSTANDABLE lyrics and some of the most solid rock/grunge music I have ever heard. I own both Lonely House and Flying, and while I love them both, Lonely house would have to be my favorite. The thing that makes grammatrain so unique among Christian artists is their style of music. Christian music used to be totally pop music. Then a few bands decided to break off from that image. Some went to a kind of "power-pop/light rock" style (Third Day, DC Talk, Newsboys, etc.), while the rest went to the complete other side of the road to all-out hardcore rock. I thought that there was no middle until I found Grammatrain that day. They figured out that seemingly unknown fact that you can have a solid rock sound without yelling the lyrics AT THE TOP OF YOUR LUNGS. Then, as soon as they came, they were gone. But... we still have these albums to remember them by. I would strongly recommend both albums, especially Lonely House. It is one of the best rock albums I have ever heard, Christian or Secular. Strongly recommended."
These guys rock

"I first got there second cd "flying" and I loved it so I decided to buy "Lonely house" this is one of the best cd's I have ever heard and the song "Execution" is one of the best songs Ive heard"
"The album cranks. It has a very heavy driving bass line. Lyrics are dark reflecting lifes struggles. The song "Drown" is my favorite. About struggles with relying on alcohol to solve your problems instead of God. Definitely buy this one over their second album "Flying" which is still good but can't stand up to this one"
