Release Notes:

After the departure of Jimmy Ryan, many questioned if Haste The Day could
continue being successful without with the vocals that spawned the hit album
"When Everything Falls" as well as their first two efforts. Stephen Keech took
the reins and put up an impressive show for their 2007 album "Pressure The
Hinges," and while it stood as a settling foundation for the band, there was
room for improvement. They have done exactly that with their new record
"Dreamer."

Being excited to check out their latest outing, I was quick to drop everything
and drop my opinion on it. Much like the love I have for many of the melodic
hardcore albums that have dropped recently, such as Destroy The Runner, August
Burns Red, Misery Signals, and Atreyu (more hard rock this time around), Haste
The Day has polished their guitar work, honed their vocals and put forth a
generally more impressive effort then albums before it.

With striking speed and a dedicated balance of charging, swift riffs as well as
vocals which shift from booming shouts and growls to soft serenades and smooth
harmonies. And while they take cues from other successful hardcore formulas, HTD
also steps off the beaten path with tracks like "Labyrinth" and
"Autumn"(rerecorded) that will have you thinking about post-Vhiessu-like Thrice.
And I think that is why this record is so amazing. It lays down a solid platform
of the norm that features catchy melodic guitars, quick breakdowns and
thunderous vocals, but then it stretches out to encompass new styles where
complex musical progression is the goal.

One thing "Dreamer" doesn't do is let you down. It sprints headfirst with
intricate guitars, fierce shouts and a refined/matured sound that not only lets
your subconscious ponder the inner workings of it, but also lets your ears enjoy
the abundance of infectious and melodic hardcore present here. Haste The Day
will be able to crush the questions on whether the band can be successful
without JR because this is one of the best records this year. You will listen to
it so much, you might end up dreaming about it.
