Cyberdreams

For the third time in five years, Westworld has made one of the best albums of the year. Their first album had the light-hearted approach of a side project. It was a fun collection of diverse songs that displayed limitless direction, huge talent and undeniable chemistry. Their follow-up, Skin, was a darker but more cohesive set of songs that showed the growth of a band that had become more familiar with one another. Their third album is a combination of the two. Cyberdreams has the lighter feeling of their debut with the more focused approach of their second effort. Even with the multitude of styles and influences present in this band, the final product in all of their songs blends into an ultimately unique sound. This band has definitely come into their own and I hope they stick around for a long time. --Scott
