Shatter freaked me out at first but after seeing the showcase version with the choreography with the strong Medusa reference it quickly skyrocketed to one of their best B-Sides ever.
I believe Jiu did mentioned that this album caters more for concerts hence the songs are definite concert bangers. Most confused with Shatter initially but that last chorus ties in everything and ended it perfectly. Also, I believe they might be working on a SA or Asia tour first next year.
I Love All of Dreamcatcher's Music because i'm also into J Rock/J Metal (with All it's Sub Genre to it) everytime i Listen to Dreamcatcher's Titletracks (and some of their B Sides) it remindes Me of some J Rock/J Metal Bands/Artists I Listen to (I List All J Rock/J Metal Bands/Artist I Listen to in a Comment below this one if anyone is interested including you @BacardixCola) for those who say Dreamcatcher lost their Sound you should Listen to the following Bands/Artists and you will See they didn't Lose their Sound they just get Influenced by different Bands/Artist within J Rock/J Metal and don't Stick with just one Band/Artist they get Influenced by as time Goes On (Just like J Rock/J Metal Bands/Artist they will continue to Experiment with their sound a lot which is just natural) but I can't speak for the B Sides how they decide on the Genre we Are Young though definitly has Tiësto Vibes 😋 1/2

"god dayumm 👏 " same reaction I had when I finished "Rising"!!! It's so good, for sure my favorite on the album where I differ from you and seemingly a lot of people is I would put "Shatter" last, it's not a terrible song by any means but just didn't hit me as much as the other 3 personally, and call me basic but I love a classic feel good EDM type song. As someone whoe doesn't listen to a ton of it, some of them just hit 🔥-- Thanks again for the album reaction, was looking forward to your thoughts, and glad you are back and feeling better Bacardi!!! 🔥 || Also yea during the Reason tour, I was at the LA show, and they really made us run our cario levels with "Silent Night" haha
dreamcatcher \:D/ honestly I did not think I would like shatter but that grew on me pretty damn fast. I initially hated it lol. but yeah this album is basically catered for their concerts.
