As They Burn’s “Dreams Collapse”
Here’s what our own Dave Mustein wrote when reviewing As They Burn’s Will, Love, Life last month:
“As They Burn don’t bring anything new to the table, but they do manage to collage all the other bits from bands that had ever been considered ‘new to the table,’ and arrange them in an album that conveys itself as moderately distinctive and considerably enjoyable. There’s definitely potential for something greater here, but for now we’ll settle for mere entertainment.”
I agree with the right honorable Mr. Mustein’s assessment wholeheartedly; furthermore, I would argue that the same can be said of their new video, for the song “Dreams Collapse.” It’s just a light show, some shaky cam, and an androgynous young lady — in other words, nothing you haven’t really seen before — but it’s all put together in a manner that’s entertaining enough. And off course, the fact that I like the band doesn’t hurt.
