    There are certainly smiles to be had as the group grouses its way through some of the most ambitiously arranged and melodically polished tunes it has released to date.

    It's mid-tempo, arena-ready rock that won't challenge. [9 Jul 2011, p.52]

    This CD is worse than a nu-metal reprise, in that it doesn't give true ragers an outlet, but instead facilitates the same false machismo that tribal tats and fake bench-press numbers suggest.

  1. Contemptible, despicable, misogynistic, musical abortion, awful and just plain old crap. Words can't describe how awful this band, and this album is. Seriously, this band is so much worse than Nickelback. This album is harmful, harmful, harmful, harmful! In fact, giving this album a 0 out of 10 is still being too generous to this band, if only we could give negative grades. Just another insult to the legacy of grunge, and the music of Canada. Arcade Fire, Wolf Parade and Effed Up will never redeem Canadian music if the country keeps releasing post-grunge crap like Theory of a Deadman. Expand

    Why this type of music still exists baffles me. The truth is that this music is offensive to ears, offensive to women and offensive to anyone that has a heart. Why does Nickelback get all the hate? Spread some to this band as well! Expand
