Album Review

Chad Kroeger, signed Theory of a Deadman to his label, co-produced this album and co-wrote six of the ten songs. So it's not a huge surprise that Theory of a Deadman sounds a lot like Kroeger's band Nickelback. This album does have its strengths — for example, the songs tend to be concise (although "The Last Song" could be a minute shorter) with relatively strong hooks — but anyone who dislikes Nickelback, or wants a band with a distinctly original sound, is advised to look elsewhere. In fairness, Theory of a Deadman probably has other influences; lead vocalist Tyler Connelly sounds like he's listened to a lot of Pearl Jam and Stone Temple Pilots, and the band's guitar-driven post-grunge sound seems to have been influenced by groups such as Led Zeppelin and Nirvana. In any case, this is a solidly crafted but fairly conventional album; it lacks that extra spark of creativity, spontaneity, or passion that might compensate for the band's safe, conservative approach to music.

Customer Reviews

Stop Bashing Everyone Who Is Involved With Chad or Nickelback!

I'm really freaking sick of these "professional reviewers" bashing any band that sounds, was signed by, or likes Nickelback or Chad Kroeger. Nickelback is the best, and I'm really sick and tired everyone of these summaries of the albums saying, "If you like original, good music, Nickelback isn't for you." What the hell kind of music do YOU people listen to? Anyways, I happen to love Theory of a Deadman & this album, and because they sound like Nickelback is a huge part of it.

Buy the whole album

This is the first album in a long time that I can listen to the whole thing. GREAT BAND!!!

Silver Side Up: Part 2

I really like this album. If you like Nickelback you will like this album. "Invisible Man" is rockin' track. "Make Up Your Mind", "Leg To Stand On", and "The Last Song" are some of my favorites.

Vancouver, Canada's Theory of a Deadman became the first act to sign with Nickelback frontman Chad Kroeger's 604 Records imprint in 2001. Tyler Connolly (vocals/guitar) reportedly slipped a copy of the band's demo to Kroeger at a post-concert party and the two were soon collaborating on songs together. One of these, "Invisible Man," was used as the B-side for 2002's wildly successful Spider-Man theme "Hero" (a Kroeger collaboration with Saliva singer Josey Scott), and anticipated Theory of a Deadman's...
