Free Music Notes for Gasoline
Free Music Review: Different from their first effort, but great nonetheless
Hit: 5 Stars
Theory of a Deadman's new album "Gasoline" is an entirely different album than the first --as any album should be different from the last. If you are picking up this album expecting to get a number of heavy rockers then you may be disappointed. However, don't put this album away after only one listen -- listen to it a few times and you'll find that it will grow on you fairly quickly. I read about the new album in Guitar One magazine and it said that the guys had tuned their guitars up to around the standard range rather than a few steps down (the first album was almost all in the tuning of B flat I believe). Tyler's voice is definitely focused upon on this album and I think that the higher tuning really complements his vocal range well. This time around the album was written entirely by Theory of a Deadman...Chad Kroeger of Nickelback doesn't have any credits in any of the songs, which is better in my opinion. I like when bands write all their own stuff. Also alot of people will say Theory sounds alot like Nickelback and while at first listen Tyler and Chad's vocals do sound pretty similar, the more you listen the more you can tell them apart and you will find that Tyler's voice has a sound of its own. Surprisingly the rockers on this album aren't the songs that shine, but rather the acousitc/electric hybrid ballads. But anyways, on to rating the songs!
1. Hating Hollywood - 8/10 - This song is one of the heavier rockers on the cd with a muddy verse and a chorus that blends seamlessly into the song. This song could have made it on the first album and probably wouldn't have been out of place.
2. No Way Out - 8.5/10 - This song is in the same realm as the last one, a heavier rocker but with a chorus that is catchier than the first. This song has been growing on me with each listen and it is a solid track.
3. No Surprise - 8.5/10 - The first single off of the cd. At first listen I was kind of skeptical about this song. There was something about the lead line of the intro that just seemed too...kitschy or something. But upon further listens I've grown to really like this song - starts out softer with a pretty catchy chorus.
4. Quiver - 8/10 - It reminds me alot of "Leg to Stand On" off of the other album. The verse is pretty darn catchy though and it has grown on me quite a bit. A definite good rocker that will have you tapping your foot.
5. Santa Monica - 10/10 - One of the first true acoustic songs on the album, this is very well done. It'll have you singing along to it in no time. In my opinion, this song begins the winning stretch of this cd and I think many of you will also agree with me. It's slower but it rocks in its own way.
6. Better Off - 9/10 - Back to a heavier song with distorted guitars. It's catchy, I will give it that. Some could argue that it is kind of "poppy" but I think it sounds pretty good. Straight up power chord rock at its finest.
7. Say Goodbye - 9.5/10 - Starts off with some nice acoustics then during the chorus goes into some electric guitar work. A solid and classic Theory song. Reminds me faintly of "Say I'm Sorry". Good song.
8. Hello Lonely - 10/10 - This is my favorite song on the cd. This will most likely be their next radio single but man, it is pretty darn good. The vocal work on this track are amazing. If there were a "The Last Song" on this album, this one would be it, although it doesn't have the heavy guitars in the chorus like "The Last Song".
9. Me & My Girl - 9/10 - Another pretty good song. Has some southern-style riffs in the beginning which adds to the dynamics of the song. Kind of a cliche topic, but it's catchy and it's a solid song that is worth listening to.
10. Since You've Been Gone - 9/10 - This song is a slower one with another southern-vibe with the acoustic guitars in the background. The strings also are a nice touch. This is one of the ballads of the cd for sure and fans of the harder rock of Theory may not like this song as much, but you have to appreciate the musicianship in this one.
11. Hell Just Aint the Same - 7/10 - To me this track just sounds like a filler. It has the sounds of an old country song - like the early country back when country was actually country - like in the 60's, but it's not totally country. It's not a terrible song and it clocks in at about 1:15, which is why it makes me believe this song is only a filler. Doesn't really fit in with the cd, but it's alright.
12. Save the Best for the Last - 9/10 - Another faster rocker with some pretty groovy slide guitar work in the beginning. The chorus is the spotlight on this song and it is really well written and well done.
13. In the Middle - 9/10 - Almost sounds like "The Last Song" with the acoustic appregios being strummed. The words are really good and the singing is stellar - it's a classic ballad. I think it's a decent closer considering the opener was a faster rocking song - plus the album does slow down towards the end anyways.
Overall a very good album which is worth picking up. In the same Guitar One article they said they'd like to release a cd with 6 or 7 acoustic songs on it because they really like the sound...so who knows, maybe we'll be seeing an acoustic Theory album. This album will surely satisfy any true Theory fan and will most likely help them gain some new ones. "The Last Song" is still their best song, but there are some songs on this album that rival it! Go support a good band and pick up "Gasoline".
