Spiegel reviews 4:13 Dream

"Speigel gives 4:13 a rating of 7 out of 10. The author likes "Underneath the Stars" and compares it to "Plainsong" and "Out of this World". He does not like "Freakshow" but thinks "The Real Snow White" is a mixture of sadness and exuberance. He is positively surprised that the album does not end up with a depressive song. All in all, a fairly positive review." (Thanks Thomas)

    "A nagging sense of shame
    I can't explain
    An acrid taste of smoke and blood
    And tears and drugs
    And every inch of me is raw
    And it's always fucking over
    It's raining and I'm blind
    And it's late and you're gone
    I can't do this anymore"

    i love how they think since it's over is upbeat tempo-wise and rocking, it's not depressive. those lyrics are pretty damn dark.

    I guess if you can rock out to it, it can't be depressing? : )

    Yeah they clearly didn't read the lyrics.

    But if you can rock out with your cock out it can't be all doom and gloom. :)

    He doesn't like Freakshow? That's all I need to know in order to ignore his opinion. Freakshow rocks!

    I can't understand all this hate towards Freakshow. It's as good as Throw your foot. Of the "not dark" songs, it's the best by far.
