Summary: Time moves forward, and nothing changes. 11 of 13 thought this review was well written The album cover and title of Hinder's fourth studio album in their decade-long career, Welcome to the Freakshow, recalls a time in the late '80s where Mötley Crüe's glam metal wildness was the epitome of how "freaky" and hard-hitting that mainstream rock 'n' roll had gotten at that point...

Sound: So much has been made about the abysmal state of the music business in the last couple of years. With CD sales dwindling and major labels scrambling to figure out how to keep turning profits, it's becoming rarer to find a band getting past Gold let alone Platinum status these days. That's why when Hinder's debut album Extreme Behavior went on to sell over 3 million copies; the entire industry was left with their collective mouth open...

Summary: All American Nightmare, indeed Before I dissect an album like Hinder's All American Nightmare, I go through first with a leisure listen, locating the eight or nine sex-party rockers and the two or three ballads and set down mental bookmarks...

Did you know that my very first review for MusicReview was of Hinderâ??s Take It to the Limit? Interestingly, one of the key points of that review was about evolution and how I felt Hinder had improved by touring with some legitimate rockers â?" and, boom, nearly two years later and my words couldnâ??t have rung any louder.

Hinder achieved multiplatinum success with 2006 debut "Extreme

Remember whenhard-rock albums felt reckless, not like theresults of market research?In the age of Hinder and Nickelback, it's tough. These bands strain to please two demographics at once: teen boys, who presumably want to be pummeledwith aspirational odes to cheap sex,and those boys' girlfriends, the sure target forcontradictorily sweet (but still loud) ballads about devotion and wistful farewells...
