Melodic Metal from ex-Daniel Band member! Produced by Dan McCabe!
Picking up where the Daniel Band left off, singer Dan McCabe launched a new Christian hard rock project called Dreamer in 1991. The band's debut (and only) album, Full Metal Racket, is a nice blend of Dokken and House of Lords. It's not quite metal, but had that metallic edge most hard rock bands from that era incorporated.:Full Metal Racket is a pretty solid album. The vocals are, as expected, quite excellent, as is the music. The songwriting is solid as well. You can tell it's a Christian album, but thankfully the band isn't too heavy-handed with their faith. The religious content is on par with the average Stryper album, which is to say that most tracks could just as easily have been recorded by White Lion or the Scorpions and been viewed as typical love songs. Some of Dreamer's more evangelical peers (Petra and Whitecross come to mind) are so blunt with their religion that it tends to scare off those of us who are just looking for a good rock album.

My only gripe about the album is that it seems really low-budget. The sound quality is pretty poor, even for 1991, and the disc inserts are about as basic as it gets. Still, those are fairly minor complaints about what is otherwise a nice addition to my hard rock collection:
