Theory of a Deadman Album: “Scars & Souvenirs [Edited]”

Beating out there sophmore album, 'gasoline' scars and souvenirs is an improvement, but its still a let down compared to thier self-titled debut so don't get to excited. The first five songs are good, but then it seems like they put some songs on the cd just to fill up space, as all bands seem to do. ::sigh:: Not bad if your a true theory fan, but some heavier stuff would have come in handy on this so-so album.

Okay, so a new TOAD CD is out, and all the Nickelback references are already being stirred up. Let's get this straight, they were discovered by Nickelback, and Tyler has a very similar voice to Chad, but since when does that mean that just cause someone has a voice similar to someone else you gotta say all they make is generic crap? Well in the end it shouldn't but sadly it does. My word of advice, is if you liked any of TOAD's first stuff check this out, and sadly it's true if you like any of Nickelback's stuff you'll like this.

Though as a CD in general, if you like a hard rock ballad type CD you'll enjoy this.

I was able to get my hands on a copy of this album 3 weeks ago. For some reason my local record store got one copy early and i was lucky enough to purchase it (and for only 6$). Being a fan of their last album i was looking forward to purchasing it and was expecting another good solid album. But once i started listening i was immediately proved wrong. The album seemed too good to be true and i was just waiting for there to be a flaw on the album, like most albums have, but there were none. I've constantly been listening to it over the weeks and i am yet to get close to becoming sick of it. This album is incredible from top to bottom and i would never have expected this. There is a nice balance of softer rockers and hard rockers, and they've managed to change up their sound a little bit while remaining true to their style, and are consistent all the way through. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this album,not only because it is by far their best effort to date, but also it is one of the best album i have heard in years, and might be the best album i own (and i own several hundred albums). Every song is terrific so its hard to choose a favorite, but i really love "By The Way" and "All Or Nothing". If you've never heard of them give them a chance because this is a must have for any modern rock fan, but is not only limited to those who just like rock. If this album does not make this band huge in the states then i don't know what else will. Think of Theory as Nickelback...but 5 times better (and i love nickelback).

I was just looking over the reviews just to see what everyone said about it after listening to the album, and all i seem to see is everyone talking about TOADM ripping off The Cult, which they actually did not the lyrics arent even the same all they did was sample their music, in which almost every hip-hop record does. But they made the sound more to our time. All they did was made it a harder music track sound its not a bad thing. the album is very good if you are a fan go on get this its worth it.

My teenage daughter turned me onto TOAD. I was touched by Wait For Me, I cry whenever I hear the song. I also love By The Way.
