With towering post-grunge hooks and some righteous rock muscle, heavy-hitting Canadians Theory of a Deadman play music for driving with the windows down. They can be lyrically clever (like on the misanthrope anthem “Hate My Life”) or ominous and soaring (the explosive “Say Goodbye”). They even delve into introspective acoustic break-up territory with “By the Way". Their brawniest hits, including the moody “Make Up Your Mind" with its dense guitar walls and Tyler Connolly's dramatic vocals, are of a kindred spirit to Nickelback—no wonder Chad Kroeger is a fan.
