Well, its not really fair to compare A Fallen Dream with any one band really, because successfuly blending in fruity loops programming, live recorded instruments, and exceptional musical composition, is something almost unheard of in this trendy myspace day of age. I mean sure, there have been many attempts in what I just described, but the key word here is "Successfully".

"Overcome" is a surprising followup to A Fallen Dream's earlier release "Two Sides to Every Brain EP". I say surprising because I had given "Two Sides" a five star rating, and there seems to be no sixth star to rate on Archive.org."Overcome" Surpasses the success of of "Two Sides to Every Brain" in a few ways, the most outstanding being the addition of Live Instruments instead of entirely programmed music. Although at times the one low note chug of the guitar will become repetitive, its forgiven by the flowing melodic progression that carries on all of the songs.

The thing that perhaps appeals to me the most is how much Veronica has going on in all of her songs. There are plenty of background noises, tunes, and sounds, layered on top of one another, but the layers are not suffocating the music whatsoever, combined, they make the music what it is. Which is Amazing, especially coming from the Do It Yourself Net Label world. Five stars, and hopefully many more to come in the future. Great Job.
