Jan 29, 2023I’m glad they branched out and experimented but I think it’s a miss for me. They replaced a lot of the heart and soul of their music for lacklustre synthetic programmed drums and pop melodies. While this works for some bands, it’s too inorganic for their sound and style.

Oct 22, 2021it's an excellent album. With very good vibes, very fresh. I like it too much
-
Jul 20, 2020Written very well, mixed well. But after waiting years for this, I was ultimately let down. Way too slow for me and I’m all for trying something different, but this just didn’t even sound like them :-/
-
Oct 12, 2019Very soothing and atmospheric sounds. I seldom come across an album that I like 90% of its contents, but this is definitely one of those.
-
Sep 9, 2019Aptly named, the album is dull, uninteresting, uninviting, and off-putting for those who like OMAM for their originality and special touch. Granted, OMAM fans who also like bland pop music would disagree and welcome this new effort. As for me, if a change was so sorely needed I wish they'd tried prog-rock, goth or even full-blown heavy metal instead.
-
Sep 5, 2019A more subdued and radio-friendly fare, Fever Dream retains some of the band's original charms and sensibilities. Nevertheless, departing from their original sound is anything but a disservice.
-
Sep 4, 2019Although Fever Dream is a good album, it is very disappointing that they could have reclaimed their unique indie-folk pop style but rather decided to go towards something more generic and commercial. I miss their originality, a crucial factor that this album doesn't have.

Aug 23, 2019This is one of the best albums I have heard in a long time. Wild roses is by far the best song of 2019, I just can’t stop listening it. Others highlights from the album are Wars and Stuck in gravity (the last minute of this track is fantastic). Great work OMAM! Your old music style was amazing but you’re new one is even better!

Aug 5, 2019Of monsters and men vuelve con un álbum energico, dinámico y lleno de vida, sin duda un gran cambio de un indie/folky a un pop- rock synth muy bien trabajado, demuestra mucha capacidad de versatilidad en distintos ámbitos, un álbum que al principio te va costar trabajo asimilar el cambio abismal de la banda pero mientras más lo escuches más quedarás maravillado de esta joya.

Aug 5, 2019I found this CD to be a major disappointment after hearing their first album (didn't enjoy the second album much either). It's way too poppy and generic or me. :(

Jul 28, 2019After the knockout opening song, Alligator - which owes some vague debt to softer sound of Yeah Yeah Yeah's It's Blitz (check out the "hey!" that opens the song) - Fever Dream is mostly a meandering sampling of world muzak. The album seems more like a stroll than a plunge, veering away from the intensity of OMAM's previous albums. Alligator is one of their best efforts. After that, meh.
-
Jul 28, 2019It's amazing how they change the genre of their music without losing their essence. Get over the folk, guys.
-
Jul 27, 2019Went from original, folky Icelandic pop with magic and charm, to overly bland attempts at top 40. Hugely disappointing.
-
Jul 27, 2019OMAM shows us a new "style", that same "style" executed perfectly, also the band does not forget its origins, each song is a new world that the band could reach in the future
-
Jul 27, 2019This is a Of Monster and Men album. Easy to recognise, their style is present in every single music of this album. Another great piece of arte from them.

Jul 26, 2019Fortune favours the brave! OMAM totally reinvented themselves in this eccentric, fun, and fresh album.
Artists evolve and change over time, and it's nice to see they did what they wanted and not what the fanbase wanted. Well done OMAM! -
Jul 26, 2019New taste from the band didn't lowering my hype from them, but too much electronic effect make them different
-
Jul 26, 2019I'm amazed about how pure and unique this album is. They reinvented themselves in a way nobody was expecting and it sounds really good. The references of the others albums it's also a really positive point. OMAM won't be the same, it will be greater. Head still an animal.
-
Jul 26, 2019this album is unlike anything they have ever done. outperformed "beneath the skin" but is still a long way from what "my head is an animal" was. however it is wonderful
-
Jul 26, 2019Different but cool, OMAM comeback is more rock-pop than last 2 albums but stills with the same amazing essence, "fever dream" Is an example to how to do great changes and stills good.
-
Jul 26, 2019I'm a great of this guys fan but this album moves away from what is OMAM. I think the band should follow the same line as "Beneath the Skin" and "My Head Is An Animal"

Aug 5, 2019Fever Dream is a very good album. ... The problem with Fever Dream isn't exactly that it sounds so different from its predecessors. It's that Of Monsters and Men have lost some of their uniqueness and quality in the process.
-
Jul 29, 2019There is not as much variety on Fever Dream as “Alligator” had seemed to indicate, but there is a clear shift – it feels more open, musically, than ever before. There’s a confidence mixed with fragility, like a band born again.
-
Jul 29, 2019Luckily the album is the group's strongest and most enjoyable album to date. ... There are moments however when things quite work as well as on their previous albums, but these are the moments that are the most interesting and exciting.
