Pretty good but nothing spectacular

"I recently came across Distorted Reality's music on the internet. After hearing a few samples of their songs, I decided to get their cd "Daydreams and Nightmares". I have to admit that I was not completely impressed with what I heard. First of all, I don't like it when bands tack on remixes. That should be kept completely separate for another cd. The remixes on "Daydreams and Nightmares" were generic as generic gets. I was not impressed. Secondly was it really necessary to include the live mix of "Rebel Yell"? Sorry but that should not have been recorded at all. The first ten songs are original tracks. Some were pretty good. I really dug"Get a Clue" and "Forever". Great overall club songs to dance to. The only ballad I liked on the cd was "I Am Waiting". The other ballads were boring and lifeless. As for the duo's cover of Billy Idol's "Rebel Yell", nothing beats the original. The production on the cd was pretty shoddy. I hope for the next album, the band doesn't include remixes and they pick up the pace on the songs. The beats were too slow for me on a lot of the songs. Here's hoping for improvement."
Great album.

"Awesome album. Its amost better than the first cd. I just wish they would have left off "Tag fur Tag (feat. Andreas Meyer/Forma Tadre)" He has a terrible voice. Other than that I would say this cd is one of the best of the year.
