There is nothing surprising on this album and the easy predictability of the song structures and vocal melodies might be sickening to some, but to me it’s merely sickening. Wait a minute. Did I say “sickening”? I meant “sickening.” Oh, crap, I said “sickening” again didn’t I? Well, you’ll just have to trust me when I say that’s not what I mean even though it seems to be all I can write. The band’s sickening clichés and sickening rehashing of “ain’t-metal-the-absolute-tits” lyrical content is nothing short of sickening. They play sickeningly perfect sickening power metal for sick in the head power metal fans who are into this kind of sick shit.
I need help. I need a thesaurus.
Dream Evil is, according to my thesaurus, unwell. Their music is diseased. Their fans are ill. Their lyrical content is laid up. The vocals are debilitated. And I find the whole thing to be unhealthy, rocky, tottering and wobbly.
“Evilized” has been released on the heels of their last effort, the far superior “DragonSlayer” that I also disliked for its sick… no, its indisposedness. Perhaps the band doesn’t have the writing proficiency to release a new album ten short hostility filled months after their last release. Patience is, after all, a virtue. This suffers from being rushed, and nobody needs to dream evil anyway. It’s on CNN daily. Its name is Bush. Its name is Rumsfeld. Its name is Blitzer and Donner and Vixen.
