Sound: I liked the way the variety of sounds was spread out across the record. Songs like "Drag Me To Hell" were very intense while "The Truth Is..." was just light hearted and fun. They've kinda lost their country vibe which is something I love about them but they have some incredible rock songs like "Hurricane", "Head Above Water" and "We Were Men". They also have some brass instruments in "Gentlemen" and the string intro to "Hurricane" is really cool...

Sound: I never knew corpses had theories. I guess Mr. Connolly will prove me wrong. Turns out, like most of my favorite bands these days (don't ask why), Theory is from Canada. They were signed by Chad Kroeger of Nickelback, which might explain why poeple complain Theory sounds like Nickelback. 604 Records really needs to expand. Anyway, I first heard of Theory through a concert. Finger Eleven was the main attraction, but Theory opened for them...

Sound: The Theory of a Deadman cd sounded quite good. The lead singer has an amazing voice, which they use to full effect to make a style of music resembeling Nickelback, although a bit harder in most parts. Slightly repetitive, but once you get most of the way through it changes. Good sound, but slightly blending. // 8 Lyrics and Singing: Incredible and heartfelt lyrics, excluding a few songs...

It's not nice having your band compared to Nickelback, but that's a comparison that Theory of a Deadman have had to endure for the past decade. In a way, it has helped them, because of Nickelback's commercial success - but it has also made sure that they're hated, purely by association, which is actually a big shame because they're so much better than their fellow Canadian labelmates...

This is not my cup of tea. And it turns out that Theory of a Deadman's dude rock isn't anyone's cup of tea here. Perhaps it's because we all acknowledge the fact that the genre peaked about 10 years ago and it's all been downhill from there, unrecognizable five- or four-piece bands with interchangeable singers singing similar tedious stuff about women "with boobies," their tendency to party all night and how they sport their heart on their tattooed sleeves...

Nickelback frontman Chad Kroeger has started his own imprint and fellow Vancouverites Theory Of A Deadman are his first signing. With definite nods to Kroeger's own band and Alice In Chains, TOAD deliver on two levels. One, they take the friendlier parts of Nickelback and give them new bends and attention-grabbing twirls; two, they blur the line between what radio wants and what rock bands can deliver while keeping things electrifying...

Sound: Wow. This sums up the whole album. Sounds alot like their previous album, however, they have gone a little softer, but the overall sound is just great. Beautiful guitar work, lyrics are really great, and the singer's voice is awesome. Since You've Been Gone, Santa Monica, Say Goodbye, and Me And My Girl are my fav tracks. Really great sound. // 10 Lyrics and Singing: Lyrics are great. Kinda sad at times, but they pick back up...

This Vancouver quartet's debut was co-produced by Nickelback's Chad Kroeger, co-written in part by Kroeger and released by Kroeger's new imprint. Would you believe it sounds a little like Chad Kroeger? Those familiar with Nickelback's inescapable hit "How You Remind Me," know what to expect: herniated vocals, engorged guitars that sound like gravel shifting in burlap, shout-along choruses and lyrics about bad love gone worse...
