Album Description
Available in:
Wake Up Call is the sixth studio album by Canadian rock band Theory of a Deadman, released on October 27, 2017, through 604 Records in Canada and Atlantic and Roadrunner Records in the United States. Critics have described the album as having a more pop-infused sound than previous releases, which was the result of lead singer Tyler Connolly composing the majority of the record's music on the piano instead of the usual guitar. Departing from the same recording and production team they had worked with for the past four albums, the band opted to collaborate with Swedish music producer, Martin Terefe, and spent seven weeks at Kensaltown Studios in London.
The album was met with mixed reviews from critics. Some praised the lyrical maturity that was lacking in previous albums; others criticized it for the sudden change in genre. Wake Up Call peaked at numbers thirteen and twenty-four on the Billboard Canadian Albums and US Billboard 200 charts, respectively. Its lead single, "Rx (Medicate)"—a song addressing the opioid epidemic in North America—was released on July 27, 2017, and is the band's third single to top the US Billboard Mainstream Rock chart.
User Album Review
With eleven songs in total, clocking in at just over 40 minutes, the finale is a cover of Chris Isaak’s legendary 1989 hit “Wicked Game.” The song has been covered numerous times over the nearly three decades since its initial release with some versions that are awful, and others that are inspired. The version that Theory of a Deadman recorded for Wake Up Call reflects the rest of the album; it is not dreadful, nor is it extraordinary, but certainly worth listening to.
Sometimes change is needed, and growth is essential. That said, Wake Up Call is a positive departure musically and socially from the band’s past Post Grunge sound and it helps distinguish them from other modern Rock bands such as Nickelback, 3 Doors Down, and Shinedown. You have to hand it to Connolly and company for being bold enough to make a change from a formula that worked so well earning them chart topping albums for 15 years. For this reason, CrypticRock eagerly gives Wake Up Call 3.5 out of 5 stars.
