Déjà vu! ‘Lost in the Dream’ (the third album by the Philadelphia band) won’t change that overnight, but it does suggest a future for the long-form, lyrical guitar jam, a species previously thought on the verge of extinction.Precisely tooled together over two years and three cities by TWOD main man Adam Granduciel, 'Lost…' incorporates some impeccably chosen leftfield sounds – The Cure’s heartrending sprawl, Slowdive’s total sonic immersion and Neu!’s endless drive – alongside the Springsteen and Dylan refs.
Longer on instrumental texture than songwriting, their third album recasts the blue-collar fantasias of Tom Petty and Bruce Springsteen as earthy ambient music, better to soak in than to scrutinize. It has a harmonica, lots of piano, a husky vocal, and some gnarly classic rock guitar. Thanks for subscribing! A glance at the cover of Lost In The Dream might suggest something has changed since the last The War On Drugs record – 2011's Slave Ambient.
Shame: this is one of the best rock records in years.That’s ‘rock’ on its own – no ‘roll’, no ‘alt’, not even an ‘indie’ – a term over which the spectre of the Drive Time Compilation (looking a lot like Jeremy Clarkson) hangs heavy.

On Lost in the Dream, his third album as TWOD, Adam Granduciel puts forward the notion that no genre is irredeemable. As usual with T.W.O.D., these songs are only as good as their grooves: Seven-minutes-plus songs like "In Reverse" and "An Ocean in Between the Waves" have enough locomotion to go twice as long, while slower tracks like "Suffering" are deadwood in search of a spark.
Lost in the Dream is an elegant, ... Collapse Expand Reviews. This Philadelphian longhair and his band have dusted off the smug 80s chug of Dire Straits, the percolations of Tom Petty and the more over-produced corners of Springsteen and made a startlingly clubbable record out of them. Lost in the Dream is a sad record, but it’s also a hopeful one, enriched by the journey of its own heartbreak and the possibilities that remain. Read honest and unbiased product reviews from our users. Amid the hordes of bands pulling the same old tired moves, thank god for The War On Drugs.What do you think of ‘Lost in the Dream’? Its high points (‘Red Eyes’, ‘Under the Pressure’, ‘An Ocean Between the Waves’) tap so cathartically into the old themes of life, loss, and loneliness that despite all that classic rock baggage, they come up sounding startlingly new.It’s no small feat to make rock music sound this fresh nowadays.

If you can’t stand ol’ Bruce (if you’re ag-Bosstic, perhaps) then ‘Lost in the Dream’ may not be for you. For the first time we see Adam Granduciel portrayed on the cover of his record, looking tentatively towards the world through a veiled window. A dystopian haze helps to defuse what might otherwise have been overweening guitar licks on An Ocean in Between the Waves; like Slave Ambient (2011), Lost… maintains a kind of motorik languor throughout, turning 80s arena rock into something much more intriguing. Published on Sat 15 Mar 2014 20.05 EDT. The War On Drugs – 'Lost in the Dream' album review. The Philadelphia band embark on a sublime journey to Springsteen and beyond, First things first: the incredible new album by The War On Drugs does sound quite a bit like Bruce Springsteen.
