 You know those albums that just instantly hit you when you turn on the first track? This was one for me. We Still Dream presents us with their full-length debut, Chapters, and it's quite the departure from their debut EP Oh Snap!. The band traded in the hardcore influenced riffs and breakdowns for a poppier approach that is reminiscent of Fall Out Boy's Take This To Your Grave. Yes, I went there.The album starts off with "Life's An Avalanche...Survive It" as it takes you on a roller coaster of the pop-punk spectrum. You get the double-bass beat with the gang vocals "let's go!" in the beginning but also encounter a lead guitar line that will get stuck in your head. On top of that, the words ring an all too familiar theme of being oppressed and rebelling against a certain power. Lead singer Dustin Monk has a very (Nearly identical at times) vocal tone compared to Patrick Stump of Fall Out Boy and Brendan Urie of Panic! At The Disco. He repeats countless times in the song "Say what you say/Cause I'm not listening anyway" and the message of the song is overtly clear. Just when you though the first track will get stuck in your head forever, it transitions into my personal favorite "She's Got Class." While it is a love song, I enjoy the take they have on the lyrics. It's all about a guy pursuing a girl of high societal status and it's much more witty than expected. The chorus is just so catchy and simple that you will definitely be singing it after your first listen. The thing that stands out to me about We Still Dream is is their ability to create pop melodies that feel fresh. Perfect song example is "This Is Home" when Monk belts out "This is all/This is all/This is all that I've got left."...full text |

| I could definitely see this being one of those bands with a lot of loyal fans and a lot of haters. Why? Because they sound like a handful of great bands, which is both complimentary and a curse. For me, I fell in love with WE STILL DREAM after hearing Chapters multiple times. There are moments that make me think of HELLOGOODBYE, FALL OUT BOY, ALL TIME LOW, NEW FOUND GLORY, THIS TIME NEXT YEAR, and many others. People will surely cry “unoriginal!” in response, but it’s hard to deny how catchy this album is nonetheless. There are a lot of bands out there that sound like big name acts, but they fail to wow you in the process. As a result, they are quickly forgotten or ignored. However, WE STILL DREAM keep your intention throughout, as well as getting you hooked on the ride. Chapters is full of memorable hooks and melodies, so it’s not hard to understand what will make these guys popular (if given the chance). Basically, this is a great record that is just plain fun to play. It has enough to it to make you return again and again for more. Considering this is a genre that hasn’t impressed me in a long time, WE STILL DREAM definitely left a good mark with me. (NL)...full text |
