Kay Posted Thursday at 02:40 PM Report Share Posted Thursday at 02:40 PM So I'm asking because I can't actually decide and I'm curious how others feel. I quite liked Dream Walker a lot. as an album it feels more consistent and cohesive, the songs work together well and as an album there's not a lot of total 'duds', but the collection of songs themselves aren't exactly amazing. On the flipside, Lifeforms has a lot of bad songs, some definite skips / "I'll never play this again" type songs, but it also has quite a few that I like more than any individual song on Dream Walker. So it doesn't deliver for me as a 'record', but a lot of the songs on it I'm happy to keep and respin unlike a lot of Dream Walker. as a result, they're kind of tied for me., or at least I'm constantly changing my mind As someone who doesn't like literally any other AVA album, their last two records (and their EPs) have been an interesting experience for me. What do others think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedo Posted Thursday at 02:42 PM Report Share Posted Thursday at 02:42 PM I skipped all of Dream Walker but only skipped most of Lifeforms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twentytwenty Posted Thursday at 04:07 PM Report Share Posted Thursday at 04:07 PM Lifeforms is stronger as a whole with less instant skip tracks - kiss with a spell and the Wolfpack, I'm looking at you! But both albums is strong imo, but neither can give either of the love albums a fight. The Disease on dream walker is a top ten AVA song for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghent Posted Thursday at 08:12 PM Report Share Posted Thursday at 08:12 PM Both have one good song. Lifeforms has a couple passable ones, whereas Dreamwalker doesn't. So I guess Lifeforms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russel Coight Posted Thursday at 11:42 PM Report Share Posted Thursday at 11:42 PM I got bored of lifeforms after a week outside of a couple of songs. Dream Walker took a month for the same so I’d say I liked that better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twentytwenty Posted Friday at 12:02 AM Report Share Posted Friday at 12:02 AM I love lifeforms, as I stated earlier it’s not love but it’s a damn fine album. I’m completely loving the chorus in timebomb as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My skippables are tremors and paralysed. Paralyzed have actually grown on me, I thing that live version from a couple of years ago helped. But damn what an anticlimactic comeback single that was though. Imagine seeing it from my point of view: an Ava fan that love all they’ve previously had done, coming from what I think is their best album to date, and then, finally after a bunch of years anticipation they release fucking paralyzed 🤣 Ive always viewed kiss with a spell as a worse breath 👀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nosferatu Posted Friday at 01:15 PM Report Share Posted Friday at 01:15 PM Lifeforms has grown on me a lot. Even Spellbound which I originally hated has grown on me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was my first favorite on the album, mostly because of the chorus and Tom’s vocal delivery 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b00bies Posted Saturday at 11:24 AM Report Share Posted Saturday at 11:24 AM 7 years is a lot of a gap between the albums to judge. musical scene has changed a lot and dreamwalker was a great shot at the time. but i'll go with a modern ava sound. lifeforms feels more natural.

Cheerios4u98 Posted 12 hours ago Report Share Posted 12 hours ago hard to say at this point. I don't love either album. But I do love Kiss & Tell and Losing My Mind more than anything on The Dream Walker. So... maybe Lifeforms? Really not sure yet, I'll have to let Lifeforms sit with me a bit more. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
