Rev Theory "Justice"

I don't know if my review will do this record Justice, but I will try to make nice so I do not end up 'Dead in a Grave.' I hate to use the same line twice, but I think the title track is effective in exercising their heaviness, as well as explaining their prowess for writing. Lets play 'Hangman,' and I will give you a hint. This song has a very energetic chorus and vocal delivery, despite it being weighed down by that  nu-style southern metal? It reminds me of  Invisible Man that has a T_ _ _ _y _ _ _ a _ e _ _ d m_ _.  This song proves they have 'The Fire' to write a song filled with emotion, yet does not need to sacrifice vocal cords to the anger gods in the volcano. If you play Russian Roulette with every round  filled on this 'Loaded Gun,' without letting the others first, then there is a pretty good chance that you are 'Guilty By Design.' The vocals seem like a mix between David Draiman and M Shadows, and this song sounds like it might fit in well with either of their bands' catalogs; more so likely the latter though. Everyone has their own demons, and many would even say they have an 'Enemy Within.' It would be really interesting to take a journey down this 'Wicked Wonderland' that this band have created; especially if it was a single and actually see what they could create on film. If you find it hard to 'Say Goodbye' to those tender confessionals that just cannot be denied single status, than you must listen to this song and/or request that status. When I saw the title, and started to hear the song I thought of Nickelback I will use that comparison 'Never Again,' but there is no comparison between both songs; I like their song, but in terms of heaviness Rev Theory's track kicks the latter's butt! The final song is another one of those sentimental moments that sound slightly out of place, but they prove that even if you feel like a 'Hollow Man' you are not incapable of writing tunes like these.So if you're a fan of Saving Abel, Theory of a Deadman,  and even Velvet Revolver you may enjoy this album as a whole. Some of the best songs are: Justice, Hangman, The Fire, Guilty By Design, Wicked Wonderland, and Say Goodbye.
