Having been a fan of Hinder since their debut, EXTREME BEHAVIOR, I loved the new sound of the debut single 'All American Nightmare' and waited for the album to come from the USA to see what rock the band brought to the table.

Well being produced by Kevin Churko (Ozzy Osbourne), I was expecting a different sound and '2 Sides Of Me' is like listening to Ozzy and then found there are some good ballads especially 'The Life' and then the tounge in cheek 'Striptease', more to that song than meets the eye, and the closing 'Put That Record On' similar to Nickelback's 'This Afternoon'.

So all in all, their best album to date and full of a good mix of hard rock, metal and dare I say country rock but if you are a fan of the Post Grunge scene of the early 200s-date then you will ultimately love this album to death.

If you have not heard of Hinder before, well buy their other albums first and then upgrade to this album. If you are a fan then this album should already be in your collection and if not...why not!
