Dreamland - Future's Calling (2005)

Swedish band Dreamland (not to be confused with Dreamtale, let alone Dream Theater) play a mostly mid-tempo style of power metal, with moments of speed, and, despite their name, they don't dabble with fantasy, producing moe instrospective lyrics. 
The music is fairly straight forward for a while, and catchy with the likes of "Hearts Like Lions", while there's also a lovely ballad, "Fade Away", as well as a Stryper cover in "All For One", although Dreamland themselves don't seem to be Christian.
As the record goes along, the song structures start to vary a bit more, and it's all quite listenable overall, without being anything particularly remarkable.
