From: TIM (2) Date: February 26, 2007 at 9:10
I've seen quite a few bad reviews about this one,but if you've loved the band up until now then you sure won't be disappointed with this effort. In fact Toby Hitchcock sings better than ever here,& some of these songs (3,4,6,11,12) are just colossal AOR tunes. "Language of the Heart" is truly a work of genius. A few lighter moments on side 2 affect the momentum (tracks 7,9 & 10) but such is the quality of the rest you wont care. Not the classic "The Destiny Stone" was but still essential. 9/10.

From: SangreAzulForever Date: March 2, 2007 at 7:05
I regard this one as the confirmation of the great success that this band is achieveing at the melodic rock world. From their first album they demonstrated to us how powerful music can be. Two thumbs up for Mr. Peterik (with Paul McCartney, the best composers all over the Earth: I hope one day they would be able to write something together) and for Toby and her sister too. I do prefer this one rather than their last studio album. 10/10. OUTSTANDING!!!!

From: MEVERICK ROCK Date: March 8, 2007 at 14:22
“The Roaring Of Dreams” -(El rugir de sueños). Es su tercer disco y no sólo esta a la altura de sus predecesores, sino que tiene calidad para superarlos. Si el olimpo AOR existe, sus dioses deben de haber bendecido de forma especial a Jim Peterik, porque el trabajo que nos lleva ofreciendo el ex-SURVIVOR en los últimos años es de lo más destacado en este apartado musical. Después de estar involucrado en varios proyectos el año pasado,entre los que destacaría SUNSTORM junto a Joe Lynn Turner!

From: MEVERICK ROCK Date: March 8, 2007 at 14:25
Jim Peterik abre el 2007 con nuevo disco para su banda PRIDE OF LIONS, uno de los estandartes del AOR en los últimos tiempos.Desde su primer álbum, que sorprendió a los amantes del rock melódico por su calidad y sus composiciones en pleno 2003,el tándem Peterik-Hitchcock no ha dejado de darnos alegrías,y “The Roaring Of Dreams” no podía ser menos. No es muy habitual encontrar AOR de estos quilates hoy en día..!

From: MEVERICK ROCK Date: March 8, 2007 at 14:27
pero afortunadamente PRIDE OF LIONS se han convertido en uno de los herederos del buen gusto melódico que otras bandas han dejado atrás. “The Roaring Of Dreams” comparte base con los dos discos anteriores: mucha clase, grandes melodías, extraordinarias voces y sonido perfecto. En esta ocasión el álbum regresa un poco más a los parámetros del disco debut (las melodías son más directas que las de “The Destiny Stone”, e incorpora más de un guiño a los geniales SURVIVOR.

From: MEVERICK ROCK Date: March 8, 2007 at 14:31
Hay que destacar el sonido impecable del disco y sus arreglos. La integración de todos los instrumentos es perfecta y el intercambio de voces entre Hitchcock y Peterik se halla muy bien. La apuesta que hizo Jim Peterik en su día se ha convertido en un seguro ganador.Instrumentalmente,destacan unas guitarras con mucha personalidad de la mano de Mike Aquino y Jim Peterik y unos teclados muy elegantes que le dan un brillo especial a las composiciones.

From: MEVERICK ROCK Date: March 8, 2007 at 14:37
El álbum comienza con ritmo mediante “Heaven On Earth”,a modo de “coro gospel”,y prosigue con “Book Of Life”,una canción muy pegadiza que contiene alguna novedad respecto a las composiciones más características de la banda y que se puede considerar como uno de los singles del álbum.Con “Love’s Eternal Flame”,los PRIDE OF LIONS más suaves,maestros del medio tiempo.Melodías con clase,buen gusto en la ejecución, musicalidad, muchas teclas y la sobresaliente voz de Toby Hitchcock!

From: MEVERICK ROCK Date: March 8, 2007 at 14:41
“Language Of The Heart” y “Let Me Let You Go” nos hacen recordar irremediablemente a SURVIVOR por sus riffs y sus teclados.“Let Me Let You Go” por su increíble gancho.Es un placer escuchar una canción así en los tiempos que corren,donde los teclados toman la dirección del tema con tanta maestría y acierto.“Faithful Heart” es la primera balada del disco,en la que Hitchcock se luce...El chico se sale en “The Roaring Of Dreams”.El tema que despliega elegancia,al igual que el resto del álbum.

From: MEVERICK ROCK Date: March 8, 2007 at 14:48
Tras la calma llega la rapidez de “Defying Gravity”,una fantástica canción que también nos hace volver unos cuantos años atrás.Volvemos a un compás más calmado con “Secret Of The Way”,que emana un espíritu ochentero y de principios de los 90s englobado en el AOR Americano de estilo más suave,llegando casi al westcoast.Otro gran tema.El álbum no baja de nivel y prosigue con “Astonish You”,un corte que despliega magia y en el que Hitchcock vuelve a estar soberbio en la composición de temas lentos.

From: MEVERICK ROCK Date: March 8, 2007 at 14:53
“Tall Ships”,también tiene algún guiño a SURVIVOR en sus estrofas, dando paso a un estribillo con unos teclados muy originales y unos arreglos muy llamativos.Tras un derroche de extraordinarias melodías y fantástica ejecución,llegamos al último tema,la balada titulada “Turnaround”,un tema muy emotivo en el que Toby Hitchcock se hace acompañar por su hermana Tori de 21 años en un dueto muy lucido y donde Tori demuestra que canta estupendamente.Pero yo hubiera preferido escuchar el tema sin extras

From: MEVERICK ROCK Date: March 8, 2007 at 15:01
si eres de los que te gusta el AOR de calidad,no dejes escapar este álbum de melodías majestuosas y directas,que para mí ya es candidato a disco del año en el sector melódico.Pocas veces se tiene el gusto de poder disfrutar de composiciones geniales,perfecta musicalidad y producción cuidadísima,así que estate atento al rugido de los sueños. THANK YOU VERY MUCH " MR.PETERIK,MR.AQUINO And Toby Hitchcock!!! igual a FRONTIERS RECORDS,POR PERMITIR A LOS PRIDE OF LIONS EXPRESAR SU GENIALIDAD!

From: MEVERICK ROCK Date: March 8, 2007 at 15:10
PARA FINALIZAR...Este trabajo ha sido producido y mezclado por Mario Gutiérrez, Enrique Rosales, por Adrianno Daga!!! ATTE: MEVERICK SALUDOS DESDE LIMA-PERÚ

Toby Hitchcock.. Stunning vocals !! Solid songwriting and consumate playing.A natural progression.

From: stefantyketto Date: March 16, 2007 at 4:45
ROARING OF DREAMS!!! The album of the year? Excuse me if i feel this way,but nothing compares to this.Many have tried in the recent past but no one captured the raging soul of the '80s.I consider myself overjoyed that fate brought me to this!Book Of Life:superb intellectual AOR.Language Of The Heart:it's running through our veins.Turnaround:the anthem of 2007.There's no track that fails our expectations.Long live AOR!!

From: Rafo Phoenix Date: April 3, 2007 at 10:49
Great AOR/Melodic Rock album, despues de varias escuchas desde su salida puedo dar una opinion con criterio de este gran trabajo muy similar a sus 2 materiales anteriores de Gran nivel, aun me sigo quedando con el primero pero como toda banda surgida de segunda mitad de los 80's a esta epoca es dificil eso el primer album marca la diferencia Language Of The Heart es el tema estrella del album y este esta entre los 5 mejores albums de este año por ahora, muy compacto en todo 9/10.

From: ehyder Date: April 3, 2007 at 19:01
Absolutely outstanding! A really really good one. Of course the first album is a complete classic, but this one comes close and I think it is even better than the previous album "The Destiny Stone". A complete must for every Survivor fan. Some minor criticism on the mix. Only the title track is "just ok", the rest is superb classic AOR. Buy!

I was one of the few that wasn't completely blown away with the debut (except the excellent pairng of 'Sound Of Home' & 'Turn To Me') and thought 'The Destiny Stone' was a much better album in general. With This I still don't like the first 3 songs, but the rest of this is pretty damned good overall.

'Language Of The Heart' is top notch AOR & I really like the pairing of the more Westcoast style tracks of 'Secret Of The Way' & 'Astonish You' later into the album. 'Tall Ships' is another belter (even the 'Fog Horn' effect) but 'Turnaround' is way too overdone (as with tracks 1-3). Toby Hitchcock is excellent as usual & seems get better with subsequent releases & on here he really is the star of the show. Over all a good disc, better than the debut but not quite as good as 'The Destiny Stone'.

book of life and defying gravity just drive your soul to the eternal house of melody...

From: hernanHRM/AOR Date: October 21, 2007 at 11:11
Pride Of Lions aun no eh comentando los albunes anteriores pero escucho el trabajo de este año y pues no cabe duda que Jim y Toby hacen magia y quien no lo haria si esta al lado de un Grande como lo es Jim y que decir de toby con una voz sensacional realmente muy bueno, los temas con magia con unas melodias misteriosas asi como "Let Me You Go & Turnaround" con un inicio demoledor y claro el mejor del albun "Language Of The Heart" super tema..

From: PODEROSO YIRO Date: January 14, 2008 at 21:34
Vaya no habia comentado este album que raro, y con lo que me encanta este grupazo. Bueno, pues este es otro magno disco de AOR con ese sonidazo con el cual PRIDE OF LIONS ya nos tiene acostumbrados. Esa deliciosa mezcla de SURVIVOR, TOTO, JOURNEY, FOREIGNER aqui llega a un extraordinario nivel con composiciones esplendidamente logradas como esa rompedora e inicial "Heaven On Heart"; "Language Of The Heart" al estilo SURVIVOR; La imponente "Let Me Let You Go", un temazo lleno de clase; las...

From: PODEROSO YIRO Date: January 14, 2008 at 21:42
baladas "Love´s Eternal Flame", la soberbia "Faithful Heart" y esa bellisima "Astonish You"; La emocionante "Defying Gravity" y atención a ese baladon que es "Turn Around"... Sin duda uno de los mejores discos del año, lleno de calidad, melodía, clase y excelentes temas y pues que decir de PRIDE OF LIONS, que van camino a convertirse en uno de los grandes grupos del AOR!!

From: AORside_it's vital Date: February 4, 2008 at 3:56
Fantastic piece of work. More or less at the same quality level with POL's debut. In a mediocre AOR year this was definitely the best album. God save Jim Peterik.

From: george_the_jack Date: May 1, 2008 at 9:52
This is MARVELOUS!!!! Surely their best album so far and one one of the best in AOR history! 96/100.

From: opec Date: August 4, 2008 at 17:09
boring crap

From: rick kerch vzla Date: June 24, 2009 at 17:53
Jim Peterik is a master that's 4 sure and Toby Hitchcock his most advanced disciple!!!...this album could be described as "another" great release by The Prides or may i say Mr Peterik???...then if you are a fan of good melodic rock songs with a little edgy side... buy this one immediately!!!."Love's Eternal Flame","Language Of The Heart","Defying Gravity","The Roaring Of Dreams" & "Turnaround" are "soon 2 b" classic songs within the melodic rock territory.90/100

From: pibe Date: November 5, 2012 at 17:15
tremendo disco posiblemente el mejor y el que tiene temas mas rapidos ponen los pelos de punta muchas canciones como -languaje of the heart-10/10 PETRIK el puto amo de nuevo

From: MelodicMetal4Ever Date: May 10, 2013 at 17:12
'Heaven On Earth" IMO this is one of the BEST well written songs EVER by Jim Peterik!! This song is INSPIRING, UPLIFTING, and SOOOOO much fun to listen to. the rest of the album is awesome too but i love this song especially. LONG LIVE AOR!!

From: tomdwa Date: April 6, 2020 at 13:55
This is kind of in between the (not as good as their) first and the (better than their) second album. It contains some forgettable songs (I can't sum them up 'caus I forgot them), some songs where the voice of Toby Hitchcock is way too much upfront and unbearable (The roaring of dreams), but also some very good songs: Love's eternal flame, Let me let you go, Secret of the way, and above all Astonish you (maybe their best track ever, where the voice of Toby Hitchcock really shines and is, well, astonishing).
