Originally from Vancouver B.C. and signed by Chad Kroeger of Nickelback to his 604 Records label (where the band is still signed in Canada), Theory is following up a very successful sophomore album cycle (GASOLINE) that included the huge radio hits "Santa Monica," "No Surprise" and "Hello Lonely." Theory are road dogs and expect to be on the road for 2 years straight to support their new album SCARS & SOUVENIRS. The balanced 13-track effort is the polished and passionate testament to seven years of hard work, heavy touring and diligent attention to its craft. From the swirling grinds of the first single "So Happy" to the soaring melodicism of "Not Meant to Be" and "By The Way," Scars & Souvenirs is a broad-reaching endeavor that puts singer/guitarist Tyler Connolly, guitarist Dave Brenner and bassist Dean Back high in the rock pantheon, achieving creative growth without sacrificing the hard-hitting power that got them here in the first place.
"It's the Scars & Souvenirs of your life," Connolly explains. "The songwriting on the record is really about someone?s past or and present, their relationships and how they shape everything. It?s more metaphorical than physical scars and trophies.We?re just a hard-working band, man. We want to be out there for a couple of years and play these songs to everybody we possibly can." Tyler also contributed guitar and appeared in the video for Chad Kroeger?s #1 smash hit "Hero," the theme song to the massive Spider-Man movie.

 Ecellent . . . Period! August 20, 2008
This is just an excellent piece of work . . . and it's FUN! The creativity that is depicted here can only be described as, although I imagine pain stakingly labor intensive to make, this is one FUN album.
Energetic, creative and talent driven, you might want to pick this one up!
 Quite Pleased August 13, 2008
I didn't know what to expect from them since " So Happy" was their 1st single,but once I bought the cd I was quite pleased with this cd.They have some very good catchy songs.I wouldn't say its their best cd,but its pretty close.My only problem is there were quite alot of slow songs,but they usually do alot of slow songs.Overall good rock cd
Music CD August 12, 2008
Very good condition when i ordered it even though it is a used CD. Have had no problems and recommend ordering from Amazon
I Think Thou Doest Protest Too Much.............. August 11, 2008
Upon first listen I find the latest offering from our Canadian rockers to be rather enjoyable. No, the tunes don't grab me as those from "Gasoline" did, but I see the band taking a different approach on this release. Here we find a greater number of ballads if you will, but we can also find a good balance in the heavier tracks. I think we find Tyler and the band still maturing and yet defining who TOAD really are. As usual we find the similarities and comparisons to Alice In Chains and Nickelback, but I enjoy those bands as well. I recall that many were initially critical with the release of "Gasoline", and may in this instance be rushing to judgement as well. I recommend this album as a decent rendering.
Great album by maturing band August 2, 2008
I have read a lot of negative reviews for this album, but just can't agree with them. This is one of my favorite albums of all time. While there are still similarities in the sound to Nickelback, who are a great band, I don't believe that they have made as solid a record as this one by TOAD. From song Crutch, which is a crushing rocker to Little Smirk, a sardonic and big F.U. to a cheating girlfriend, this cd has it all. And it must be said that Tyler's voice has never been stronger or clearer.
