"This Album by Spanish's No. 1 Rock Import Dover is probably one of the better melodic rock/punk albums ever! The Female vocals are incredible. I saw them live and the leader's voice isn't like anything you've ever heard. I've talked to people who saw them supporting WEEZER on their Europe Tour, and after seeing DOVER, they thought WEEZER stank. They stole Weezer's Tour!! No wonder they were invited to join the entire Warped Tour 2002, touring through the US. It won't take long for them to take over the world and prove that it's way wrong to think that great rock can only come out of the US. Americans...watch out for Europe's Music Invasion!!"

Great CD!

"I love this band, they are great songwriters/musicians and they have a very unique sound to their music. Dover is: Cristina Llanos (vocals, guitar), Amparo Llanos (guitars), Jesus Antunez, (drums), and Alzaro Diez (bass).
This is Dover's fourth album, released in November 2001. Their first album is called "Sister", 2nd "Devil Came to Me", 3rd "Late at Night",. Despite that the Dover members are from Madrid, Spain, all their songs are in English and they don't sound Spanish at all. It's kind of hard to classify this band's music, but I'd say it's a mixture of hard rock, grunge, and again, their unique touch.
Below I'll rate the first 5 songs from 1-5 stars.
1) My Secret People- 4 stars- I would have given this song 5 stars, only it gets kind of tiring after the first few listens. The other songs on this album are much better, keep reading!2) Better Day- 4 stars- This song says, more or less, "I can never do anything right"3) Weak Hour of the Rooster- 5 stars- It starts out relatively quiet, then cranks up. This song took a couple of listens 'till I liked it, now I give 5 stars!4) Lady Barbuda- 5 stars- The first HARD rock song on this CD--but definetely not the last. Very unique lyrics; "Shave your legs/I don't want/to be one/one of them"5) King George- 5 stars- This is the best song on here! Another song with original lyrics "You only got 4 hours/to learn your manners/never felt so close to you before/long shot in the name of God/need a McCartney song" Wonderful. I dont' know how many times I've listened to this album, and I have definetely not gotten tired of it. Thank you, Dover, for a great CD."
