I. THE DREAMING "RISE AGAIN" 2015

So the next record I wanna talk about iz THE DREAMING's "Rise Again" (2015),

anotha record I happen to REALLY LIKE and haz had significant play
(on ma IPod) for me in recent weekz, despite tha fact, tha band iz not really
all that well-known, they are underground, and choose to remain az so.
So yeah, 3 of the 5 band memberz were part of a very famous band in tha 90'z
known az STABBING WESTWARD (most fucked up band name of all-time),
and yeah, I wuz very much indeed a HUGE STABBING WESTWARD FAN,
back in tha day (96-99), despite tha fact, my father HATED THA BAND
(lolz) mainly cuz of tha name STABBING WESTWARD, not the music,
but yeah, he wanted to refrain from "that stupid nonsense" (hiz quote),
but I didn't, out of angst and rebellion, it made me even BIGGER fan of em.


II. THE DREAMING "RISE AGAIN" 2015 II

So yeah, STABBING WESTWARD were HUGE in tha late 90'z, mainly off 
copying a sound formula from anotha even HUGER 90'z band, by name of
NINE INCH NAILS, and yeah, they were quite popular for some time,
before putting out a horrendous last album (in attemptz to alter their sound,
which for some reason they choze to abandon), and yeah, broke up in 2002.
Then tha lead singer (of STABBING WESTWARD) would form a new band,
called THE DREAMING, a year later, a band who at first sounded nothing like
tha old band (STABBING WESTWARD) and yeah, I really wuzn't diggin in it.
But az THE DREAMING kept putting out recordz, yeah, they kept leaning
more to that same (successful) sound of tha previouz band'z incarnation,
az well az (ova time) adding members from tha band'z old line-up into itz current.


III. THE DREAMING "RISE AGAIN" 2015 III

So, when stumbling upon thiz album online, I figured I'd give it a listen,
since it containz elementz of a band I REALLY LIKED in tha past (S.W.),
but when I heard tha first single "Alone", yeah, I wuz fuckin BLOWN AWAY.
It wuz like tha band wuz screaming "REMEMBER US? WE'RE BACK!".
Then when I heard tha rest of tha album, yeah, they were juz smashin it!
It'z not only reminiscent of the old (STABBING WESTWARD) sound,
I once loved, but yeah, they seemed to continue doing what they do best,
putting out, well, ULTRA SAD, SUPER DEPRESSING, SUICIDAL music,
but yeah, putting aside that one (dumb) point, there'z juz so many songz
on thiz record that hit it outta tha park for me, I juz fuckin had to buy it!
