"I predict that the title for this review will be the headline on the cover of Rolling Stone or SPIN magazine soon. If you enjoy guitar driven energetic rock songs with really catchy riffs, killer vocals, original arrangements, and creative lyrics that speak to the heart and soul (ala Pearl Jam only better) you're gonna bow to Royal Bliss. After The Chaos II is a solid album from top to bottom. It sounds like a greatest hits album with no filler. It's hard to pick a favorite song but be sure to check out: Here They Come, Devils and Angels, Brave, All In My Head and Sweet Rosie.
I just happened to catch their live show while in Utah recently for a ski trip. Seeing the `Bliss was the great unexpected highlight from that trip. I also had a chance to meet Neal Middleton (lead vocal) and Taylor Richards (lead guitar). Truly Royal, great cats with awesome chops. I'm a huge fan. Frankly, I listen to a tremendous amount of music and I'm very hard to impress. It is becoming quite a rare event these days that I am won over by a new band. Most bands, singed or unsigned, just don't seem to be able to write, especially with any consistency. The Bliss is truly worthy of Royalty. They have a slew of hit songs, they're awesome on stage, and they are great, down to earth guys.

"I heard "Brave" on a local station so when the band came to town I went and checked out the show....WOW! The singer was amazing, I have never seen anyone with such control of their vocal performance. This band is tight and the songs get you from the beginning and never lets your go....If you like good rock with a touch of POP then this should to the trick! Royal Bliss has a fan for life"

"You won't find this quality of music in a signed band, let alone a great unsigned band like these guys. This is a must CD for every collection! Every song is good from start to finish. Get ready to rock!"
AWESOME

"Not much more to say that hasn't already been said. I got this album for Christmas and had never heard of them before, so I gave it a listen not sure what to expect and was really surprised at how great all the tracks are which is rare to find an album by any artist of any genre where you really like every song but Royal Bliss has done it for me. And the CD hasn't left my car CD player since the first play. I am still enjoying listening to them where ever I go. They are now one of my favorite bands."
The Greatest Undiscovered Band of all Time!

"I first heard Royal Bliss on HDNet, True Music I think. Wow, I was blown away. I especially love the song Devils and Angels, a very haunting classic tune that really reaches down to your very soul. Every song on this Album is well thought out and performed with energy and integrity.
I would love to see these guys live, but they don't get this far east....yet. I hope to make it out west to hear them soon but I keep hoping they'll head east and let their secret out, because these guys can rock and can be a big as they want to be, IMO."
