THE REVIEW

The second album by Theory is bewildering. In a good way, of course.

The quartet, after the success of their first CD and their hit "Hero" (soundtrack of the movie Spiderman), manages to bring to the market an incredibly good album (for the record, they did the soundtrack for Twin Peaks and 4 of the songs from this album were included in the soundtrack of the amazing video game Fahrenheit, in which Angelo Badalamenti also collaborates).

A sound similar to that of Nickelback (in fact, it was Chad Kroeger who discovered the quartet) characterizes the Canadian band in these superb 13 tracks, aggressive and fast yet calm and slow (???) (sound/lyrics I mean)(ah). In short, these four brave young men greatly deserve success (certainly more than many other "false gods" who cause a stir these days); success that I wish for them with all my heart, especially hearing songs of undoubted skill like "Santa Monica", "No Way Out" or "Invisible Man" (even though this one is in the first album).

In conclusion, a stupendous album, which I recommend (to manetthaus) to those who like the genre and, why not, to those who have time to spare to reflect on the lyrics. awooo

 "The opening track 'Hating Hollywood' is energetic and gritty in sound, rebellious and anti-conformist in the lyrics."

 "Gasoline is certainly one of the best results from rock emerging out of the great prairies."
