Thanks, though.

When I popped this disk into the player, I was expecting another fantastic homage to the great bands listed on the label like I found when I listened to Wolfmother not too long ago - now that is a band that reminded me that rock and roll ain’t dead - but from start to finish, *When Dreams Become Reality* is nothing special as it completely fails to deliver on any promise that can be found in the packaging or the hype.

In fact, this album is completely derivative; there is nothing on this CD that other mediocre bands have tried and failed with before. This music lacks energy… so much so that half way through it the first time, I started tuning it out as my brain relegated it to background noise. I listened to it again with more attention just to be sure that I wasn’t distracted, but half way through I found myself so bored, that I put on Wolfmother to get my blood flowing again.

If you want new, fresh music that delivers on what this CD believes itself to be, then try Wolfmother and The Black Angels; you won’t be disappointed.
