Asylum Suite is a hard-rock quartet that hails from Tennessee, and the self-titled Asylum Suite is the band's second album, featuring your basic hard-rock songs and power ballads centering on vocals and guitar. A press release about the album quotes Cheap Trick's Tom Peterson as saying, "I haven't heard harmonies like these since Queen!"
Tracks such as "The Only One" break the mold with some good arrangement and originality. "The Only One" is a nice ballad with skillful guitar work and a catchy hook. "Hold On" is another power ballad that includes some solid piano and vocals. It seems that Asylum Suite's creativity expands on their ballads, and the band feels more at ease. "Smile" is the heaviest song, with hooks and good bass lines. It has a lot of groove and strong rhythm that lets you know that the band can jam hard.
