Theory Of A Deadman - The Truth Is...
Posted on 16:27 by Unknown
This band really stepped it up with their last album Scars & Souvenirs and living up to the success of that record was going to be hard to achieve. The band took the best from their past and put most of it together in a nice package called The Truth Is... giving Theory Of A Deadman their most complete and enjoyable long player yet. When the band takes the catchy pop side of their sound the songs are instantly memorable and ones you just want to sing to before even knowing the lyrics.
The power ballads are typical fare from them but the quality is good and should garner some success at radio. It takes a long time to get to a more metallic aggression but on "Drag Me To Hell" they drive it home nicely. This album has a ton of good songs that probably won't be played in their unedited state. I'm ok with that my kids old enough to know better than to sing the curse words aloud so I don't take issue with too much of what is being said.
As the album plays through I was a little worried that the best songs were in the beginning but the train never leaves the track. This album sticks to the successful formula of their best stuff and I'm very happy that they chose to make an album like this. I don't care about being artistic or creative outside the box. I don't listen to this band for that sort of music, I want catchy hard rock tunes and catchy power ballads to sing a long to while the volume dial is turned up way past disturbing the neighbours level. The Truth Is... has achieved the hype I had built up in my mind and gave me everything I hoped for on this album something that I didn't get from Saliva or Rob Zombie on their last records.
Song Highlights: Easy To Love You, Bitch Came Back, Drag Em To Hell, Lowlife, Gentleman & Careless
