"Dream Come True" is the fourth studio album by English new wave band A Flock of Seagulls, released in 1986. Following the success of their previous albums, which included their iconic hit "I Ran (So Far Away)," "Dream Come True" aimed to build on the band's reputation for blending synth-pop with elements of rock and new wave.
The album features a mix of upbeat, synth-driven tracks and more introspective ballads, showcasing the band's versatility and evolving sound. Tracks like "Magic" and "The Story of a Young Heart" feature catchy melodies and infectious hooks, while songs like "Better & Better" and "Remember David" explore themes of love, longing, and nostalgia.
"Dream Come True" received mixed reviews from critics upon its release, with some praising the band's continued innovation and others feeling that it lacked the same impact as their earlier work. Despite the mixed critical reception, the album spawned a few minor hits and helped A Flock of Seagulls maintain a dedicated fan base.
While "Dream Come True" may not have reached the same level of commercial success as the band's debut album, it remains a noteworthy addition to their discography, showcasing their continued evolution as artists and their ability to blend synth-pop sensibilities with heartfelt songwriting.
