If your idea of good rock music is what you can find on a top-4o station, then this will likely be the highlight of 2010 for you. If you prefer a little originality, creativity and perhaps even a time signature other than 4/4, then prepare to be disappointed.

Hinder knows its demographic, and nails it on this album, suggesting that All American Nightmare is far more clever than it initially appears.
