For The Fallen Dreams have released their 4th album called “Wasted Youth”. Dylan Richter, the bands vocalist said before the album came out that it would be like “Back Burner, but more mature”. Do I agree with that statement? No, I really don’t. I was a bit disappointed by “Back Burner”, but “Wasted Youth” just plain sucks. It’s a waste of time to listen to it. Why is that? Read on.
In my review of “Back Burner” I was quite positive of the change the band was making. I have to say that I still stand by that. But and this is a big one, For the Fallen Dreams can’t pull it off. They have clearly showed that now. I can’t tell you how boring these songs are. Breakdown after breakdown. Cleans sounds really forced. It’s just bad all around. There is nothing that stands out on this album. It’s just generic metalcore. Most of the songs are based on the same formula.
To tell you the truth, it’s bad, really bad. Did I mention that the lyrics are dull? After Andrew Tkaczyk left the band, it has just been downhill for this band. Andrew was the main songwriter and it shows. They are lost without him. They are a lost cause trying to sound like a bad A Day To Remember copy. This sound just doesn’t fit them. It’s rather sad how this band has turned out. There is nothing that could save this band anymore. Where did the magic go guys?
