Very seldom do I find an album that I can come back and listen to after several years of owning it, but Grammatrain's debut, Lonely House, is a perfect example. From gritty solos and pulsing bass lines to the pounding beats and the lyrical and vocal stylings of Pete Stewart, Lonely House is by far Grammatrain's best album. Like Nirvana's Nevermind was renowned in the mainstream markets, Lonely House is a true essential to any Christian rock enthusiasts library. This album was one of the first albums I ever bought and has not lost any of its luster in the eight years I've owned it. I have yet to find another Christian band with such high energy solo-ing and head-banging riffs. In fact, no matter how many records I buy, I always find myself coming back to Lonely House for just plain rockin' out. On the downside, Lonely House does have a few songs that I usually just skip over. The 41-second-long "Jerky Love Song" is less than a musical triumph and "Apathy" just seems out of place. Overall, Lonely House starts out grungy and keeps rockin' the whole way through.
