Genre
Hard rock / modern rock

The Good
"Hell Yeah" is sure to be the arena anthem for the summer. It's loaded with killer riffs and one of those great chant-along chorus sections. Melodic vocals and catchy lyrics help "Favorite Disease" ring in your head long after it's ended. Meaty guitar riffage and angst filled vocals fuel the album's title track "Light It Up." You might remember this one from WWE programming. Rev Theory show their softer and more emotional side on the acoustic driven track "Broken Bones." The opening riff on "Wanted Man" is a guitar lover's wet dream. "Ten Years" had the the best of both world. On one side it has all the power of a rocker, and on the vocal front it has all the emotion of a ballad.

The Bad
Too short!!

The Verdict
Rev Theory come out the gate with guitars blazing, melodies flying, and vocals booming on Light It Up. The group delivers some heavy tracks while still remaining melodic. That's a rarity these days. To show their not all piss and vinegar, the group sheds and emotion or two with some great heart-felt ballads. Could this be the second-coming of Nickelback?


Rating: out of 5
