Reviews Customer Reviews for Light It Up      You can check off all of the Hard Rock mainstays/cliches, but still pick up the album...      Rating:      Oh Hard Rock, so over saturated and lacking in creativity. But you still surprise me once in a while. Previously I hadn't heard of Rev Theory, but while browsing the New Release section I came upon "Light It Up", the sophomore release from the band. Based off of the beautiful cover art and sheer coolness factor of the name, I decided rather impulsively to try them out. I'm happy to say that my curiosity paid off nicely. Rev Theory is unmistakably meat & potatoes in their approach to Hard Rock, and you won't find any surprises or stark contrasts between any of the 10 tracks. What you will find, however, is a straightforward, hard rockin' group of songs that will undoubtedly appeal to the Hinder, Theory of a Deadman, and Nickelback crowd. Songs like "Favorite Disease", "Kill The Headlights" and the fun loving opener "Hell Yeah", give a pretty accurate portrayal of what these guys are going for. In between you will run across a couple of slower ballads that showcase the singer's gravely but emotionally charged inflections. As a result, "Broken Bones" and "You're The One" are some of the better tracks on Light It Up. It is refreshing to hear more acoustic or piano-driven melodies, and it serves as a nice change of pace in an otherwise straightforward listening experience. The production is smart, fine-tuned, and particularly hook-oriented. Lyrically it's nothing very creative, but Rev Theory manages to create a strong connection with its' listeners nonetheless. For all of the dissent towards this type of music, it is still a massive and irrepressible market (perhaps that's why), and Rev Theory knows this. They play within the lines just like the others, but they bring quality musicianship and genuinely smart production to the table. The result is a banquet of delectable, if derivative, Hard Rock tunes.     Customer Reviews for Light It Up Cd      Keeping up with the Jones'      Rating:      I've had this CD for over a month now and while I don't think it's quite as good overall as their previous CD, I do like it, and I think any Revalation Theory fan would too. I think it fits right in with 3 Days Grace, and Seether, is better than Saving Abel, similar to Trapt, far better than Jet Black Stare or Finger Eleven. It's worth picking up if you are into this style of music!
