This Album Does Not Exist - Album Review
"This Album Does Not Exist," a much anticipated album released on August 26th, 2016 by an upcoming band known as Dreamers, delivers exploding melodies and tunes of the smart pop genre. Whether you want songs to dance to, or you want to travel down a road of existential thoughts, this album has it all.
All 12 songs on the album have something special to it, and we start off strong with one of their hits Drugs, full of heavy guitar riffs and soft piano transitions. After the dance vibes brought on by Never Too Late to Dance, the album continues to another hit song, Sweet Disaster, which has been in the Alternative Nation's top 18 chart. Painkiller entrances us with upbeat and catchy melodies, Wolves (You Got Me), will have you howling for more, and Cry Out For Me will leave you dancing to the beat of the drums. Their energetic vibes continue through Lucky Dog, Shooting Shadows, and Last Night on Earth, shown through the cool guitar riffs and sing-along choruses. The guitar riffs start to become lighter as the album reaches To the Fire, the harmonies drawing people in, making the lyrics in the song, "drawn to the fire" very true. Come Slow Down, as the title says, brings down the high from earlier in the album and takes us to a place full of airy, floating vibes. After a small break from the high, the band pulls you right back in for the last song of the album, Little New Moon. Heavy bass and drums start off the song, leading to a chorus that would make any person lose control into a dancing frenzy.
Overall, "This Album Does Not Exist" brings a new kind of energy to the music scene. The thing about this album that makes it so interesting, is the fact that while a person can enjoy themselves and stay on the surface of the music, many can fall through and find deeper meanings, a connection between the listener and the lyrics of the band. If you enjoy crazy pop and entrancing indie music that toys with mind bending themes, be sure to check out Dreamers, and become a dreamer for yourself!
