Scars and Souvenirs, the third album from Theory of a Deadman, sounds like a rehash of the band's first two albums -- which is to say that it sounds like Nickelback. Chad Kroeger signed them to his 604 Records label in 2001, and throughout Scars and Souvenirs, Theory of a Deadman draw upon the melodies, vocals, choruses, and riffs of Kroeger and company. Many examples abound, but the best is "Not Meant to Be," a song whose melody and chorus bear more than a passing resemblance to All the Right Reasons' "Rockstar." Like their previous effort, Gasoline, Theory of a Deadman turned to producer Howard Benson on Scars and Souvenirs, which could explain why the album sticks to the same sounds and formulas instead of branching out in a new direction. It makes Scars and Souvenirs less then essential, given that nothing has changed. ~ Katherine Fulton, All Music Guide
This album is alright but i still like their first album better. the first album kind of sounds like godsmack with some heavier bass but you can definitely hear some nickelback in the lyrics
Saw these guys last night with Black Stone Cherry, Hinder, and 3 Doors Down. Excellent show, if you get a chance to see Theory of a Deadman then DO IT they put on a hell of a live show!
