The Big Dream
The Big Dream consists of eleven original songs composed by David Lynch and producer Dean Hurley, as well as a Bob Dylan cover.Lynch further explained that the songs are "tighter" than those on his debut studio album, Crazy Clown Time (2011), due to increased confidence in his musical abilities."[14] Writing for the Boston Globe, James Reed wrote positively of The Big Dream and described it as "a modern blues as filtered through Lynch's warped mind, where life unfolds in the shadows in slow motion."[16] Writing for The Guardian, Paul MacInnes rated The Big Dream four of five stars and drew comparisons to Lynch's films, stating "a fusion of blues and early rock'n'roll styles with electronic production techniques, you are dragged into an American wilderness where the land is parched, the sky crackles with electricity, and there's a pair of glowing red eyes watching you from a distance.[18] NME's Phil Hebblethwaite noted how The Big Dream's "formula", which consists of "straightforward tracks", "a massive left turn into Weird Town" after the album's midpoint and "a sweet one-two" towards the end of it.[19] In a mixed two and a half star review for Slant Magazine, Jesse Cataldo wrote that despite it being "undoubtedly well recorded, with a sustained mood and some nice sonic touches", the album "still has a thin, larky feel, briefly amusing, consistently strange, but rarely resonant.
