It sounds real, stripped down and fresh. The vocals get a tad repetitive, but otherwise, it's a very powerful EP.Queens of the Stone Age Lullabies to ParalyzeThe Fall of Troy DoppelgangerCompared to their newer stuff, this is an amazing album.The Receiving End of Sirens Between the Heart and the SynapseTides of Man DreamhouseThe album loses a sense of cohesion that Empire Theory had. You could feel an album long buildup in Empire Theory, reaching a crash on Western Scene. The album felt like an 'album.' Dreamhouse's lack of longer songs like Create leave me wanting a few more impassioned guitar solos, and some more progression, as most of the songs follow a very generic 'verse chorus' format, so much so that I don't know how anyone could really praise it for it's progression after Empire Theory did progression 100x better. That being said, the riffing got much better and mathier, and the vocals, which being much more produced, have improved as well. Josh's drumlines are still mathy and fun. A few gems, like Statues, Salamanders and Worms, Dreamhouse, and Chemical Fires show this band's talent and ability to really work together and make something no other band can. This band is nothing like Circa Survive, though they have a lot of similar characteristics. Overall, this is a more mature and fun album, after their extremely serious, less passionate Empire Theory.3.5 great3 (USA) RevisionsBetween the Buried and Me ColorsBrand New Deja EntenduBrand New DaisyCoheed and Cambria No World for TomorrowEndless Hallway Autonomy GamesPretty creative, and the vocalist is strong, but gets a bit repetitive.

Vocals are atrocious. 2. Riffs, while sometimes creative, are no longer as fast, furious, and fun. 3. Just not an enjoyable listen at all. If this would have been a demo from an up and coming band, I could see this as something special, but this is their 4th studio album.The Mars Volta Octahedron1.5 very poorQueens of the Stone Age Era VulgarisQotSA is so full of talent, but when they were once coherent, now they just seem angry and unintelligible. Sick, Sick, Sick is great, the rest of the album is more than forgettable. And the screeching noise in Battery Acid gives me a headache.1.0 awfulbrokeNCYDE I'm Not a Fan, but the Kids Like It!
