It's quite clear this German band is made up of willing musicians as well as it's evident they can blend well even if they come from different musical territories, being such a different "descent" the official explanation of their diversified style. Normally the circumstance of causing troubles to people suffering from that kind of obsession which compulsively urges themselves to file records or bands within watertight compartments should be something to be proud of, but Dust Of Everyday looks like just juxtaposing wav, gothic, rock, metal and pop without really experimenting any original mixture, so that they sound too staid. My impression could be considered a nonsense, as most of bands which melt together different genres sound so cool and interesting, but mixing genres doesn't automatically implythat such a mix could sound really fresh. By the way, premises are interesting as tracks such as Tomorrow or Afraid To Breathe, even if they could remind something else, show a valid approach to melodies and a discrete skill in emphasizing sound, but if you keep on listening, some tracks could appear too hesitating and excessively related to traditional American ballads or hard rock, whose prominence absorbs the relevance of some worthy proof of talent by single members of the band, but when they manage to wander off from such musical subjects, they look like quotist or even plagiarist. For instance, Stranded could be a very good song, thanks also to the delicate female voice by Nadine Kriegs, till the moment when the listener will easily identify DOE sometimes ride on Depeche Mode or Pink Floyd's intuitions. Even if they finish their album with a track entitled Requiem (whose very good refrain made the one I liked more on the whole album), I'd prefer to wait future releases to shape my peremptory opinion on them, as the continue changes of line up and the prolonged time during which this band dwelled on recording could have been hampered on a nimbler development of a more "personal" style.
