Album: Welcome to the Freakshow by Hinder (2012)
Genre: hard rock
Record Label: Universal Republic Records
Format: CD

Description: On album number four, Hinder put a contemporary spin on meat-and-potatoes rock 'n' roll. "Ladies Come First" drapes its debauchery-celebrating lyrics in sleazy grooves and glammy guitars, while "Freakshow" is all bluesy hard rock with larger-than-life riffs. Electro-tinted tracks like "Wanna Be Rich" sprinkle stomping digital effects over their raucous swagger, but it’s really in songs like the piano-dappled "Get Me Away from You" that Hinder reveal their prowess at introspective, emotionally tortured ballads.
