'Dreamer' is everything you've heard from Haste the Day before. It's an album filled with similar tracks boasting an utterly familiar sound that really does no justice to either the band nor the genre. Though the familiarity could be a problem to some, this still isn't a bad album and shows significant proof that Haste the Day can still do what they love and do it well.

After listening to PTH, (and I still do, it's still one of my favorite albums) I bought dreamer on my birthday. I wanted to be suprised to see what they could do with Steven's expeirence. I was disappointed, but also kind of satisfied. They went back to sounding like Burning Bridges, but nowhere near as great as that album. Stephen's vocals are a little deeper, more demonic sounding, and his cleans are less implemented but still good. Brennan and Mike still do a great job helping steven with the vocals. The guitar is down a lot, no solos whatsoever (except for like the 3 second spot in Invoke Reform) Overall, it's good but also average for the fact that they didn't expand of the success of PTH.

I need some more time to take this album in. Although, I am excited to hear some heavy stuff again. PTH kinda blew, with the exception of a few tracks. By the way, if all of you miss Jimmy Ryan so much, go buy his new album! His band, Trenches, released a new album called "The Tide Will Swallow Us Whole" this past September. It's kinda metal.

I'm really biased when it comes to Haste The Day because they are from my hometown and because of them that I listen to anything I listen to now. Seriously. Before Jimmy and the boys started tearing up the Emerson my favorite band was Creed. I met some of my best friends going to their shows and their lyrics are permanently placed in my mind. They're a part of me. That said, I think this album is incredible. It takes me back to the days of Burning Bridges, just going crazy with the heavy stuff and then dropping some clean vocals and melodies that leaves you wondering if you're listening to a different band before snapping your neck with a breakdown. Steven now has had as many records with the band as Jimmy Ryan did and he proves his worth on this album. His screams are almost horrific (in a good way) here and he still adds some clean singing into the mix. This album is way more intense than their previous two albums and it may turn off some fans. But to paraphrase a song from one of those albums, "I know I've said it before, but this time it's real: Forget the past, it's gone."

I feel like the music on this album is much heavier than their previous release, Pressure the Hinges, and is more in tune with their original style. The chorus hooks just aren't as accesible and catchy as Hinges, which is unfortunate. I feel like i'm looking for tracks to like on this release, its much harder and sinister sounding, but its just not catchy, i can't find tracks to sing along with like i could on Hinges.

This review might be a bit biased because Haste the Day IS my favorite band, but this album really proves how far ahead they've moved musically. With still traditional songs of theirs such as 'Haunting' and 'Sons of a Fallen Nation', as well as a heavier style in songs such as '68' and 'Invoke Reform', the band has really progressed forward as an ensemble. Their songs 'An Adult Tree' and 'Labyrinth' are a bit of a cool style change, and a re-do of 'Autumn' is a really nice touch. This album is a classic, as well as all of their other albums.
