I didn't get it
I recieved a package from "Buybacks Colerain". I ordered this used CD July 3rd. It did not have THeory of a Deadman Gasoline. It had a DVD of some B movie I never heard of. I sent it back to Buybacks and still have not recieved the CD I ordered 7 weeks ago. I also have not heard back from anyone. So far I'm out the cost of the CD, postage, and postage and packaging to return it.

I normally am pleased buying used CD's and DVD's from Amazon, but not this time!.


QUALITY ROCK MUSIC
O. Having been a serious fan of T. A. D. from the very beginning I can honestly say that this album does not follow the standard release routine in which a band makes a good first album but the second one is decent at best. This album is just as unique and highly entertaining as their first,boasting 13 tracks full of sweet vocals and quality instrumental work. Though it is true that this album is cemnsored,there are less than a handfull of places where you can tell a word was erased. Thus,unlike many modern albums that rely solely on foul lyrics to fill a song,Gasoline flows perfectly from beginning to end. If you enjoy listening to music then don't let this album pass you by.


A great album, but why the unneeded censorship?
I just wanted to review it simply because like other reviewers, I'm wondering why there's no explicit version for this? It's just a couple of words, what's the point of it? The band's first album has the PA logo (that's Parental Advisory if you didn't know), but it's mainly for 1 song. You're probably asking, "why is a metalhead reviewing this?" Yes, I am a metalhead, but that doesn't mean I can't like a few rock bands. You listen to their new album (which also has the PA logo), you're actually gonna hear a couple of songs that warrant the PA. In a way, I feel cheated, but not really. I usually pay attention to things like this before I buy music, but in this case, it couldn't be avoided. Hopefully, if you're somebody like me, you'll find out about it by reading online rather than buying it first and finding out the hard way. I almost cringe a little bit when I listen to No Surprise as Tyler sings "That all this lying gets to me, and no one seems to give a. . . . (insert expletive here. . . . without actually hearing it that is). If somebody can give a more clarified explanation as to why Roadrunner decided on doing this, it would be greatly appreciated. As far as the music, it's great. Their debut is also great, but Gasoline is a big step. The song writing has definitely gotten better, their first album seemed kinda rushed. Kinda flawed, but not extremely. This is my favorite that they've done so far. Also check out Scars & Souvenirs if you like this album.


Uncensored


Roadrunner, the label that released the album in the US, chose to release only an edited version; 604 Records, the label that distributed Gasoline to the rest of the world, chose to release only the uncensored. If you like your Theory of a Deadman uncut, this import version is the one you want.


Doesn't match up with the first release.
It's just that TOAD's debut was that good! Gasoline is much more radio friendly than the debut. Which doesn't make Gasoline bad. More of a straight ahead rock sound and approach to the music. To me the music doesn't stand out in the same way the debut did. The edge, dark vibe, down tuned guitars & deep vocals gave TOAD's debut such an original sound. Minus the vocals, that's gone on Gasoline. Gasoline tends to blend in with many other bands out today. So if a more radio friendly TOAD is appealing to you than Gasoline is right up your alley. If you're a fan of the edge the debut had, Gasoline has a few standouts that still make this a worthwhile purchase. Hating Hollywood, Quiver, Say Goodbye, Me and My Girl. All of these are really good tunes. But along with that you get "No Surprise". Which happens to be the most annoying track on this disc. It makes you want to "Snap your Fingers" and start "Skipping Along to a Happy Beat". What the heck was that about?! Was that song made for "American Bandstand"? Was Dick Clark involved? I long for edgey songs like "Invisible Man" from the debut. Minus that tune, this is still a descent straight ahead rock CD. You can't go wrong with Tyler's powerful vocals. I think a major part of the sound change probably comes from the production by Howard Benson. It just doesn't fit as well as what Chad Kroeger and TOAD were able to accomplish previously. If you like Nickelback, Default, Alterbridge and Shinedown this will fit into your collection. It just won't standout in front.
