These Oklahoma boys know how to think big: With over-driven guitars and arena-size choruses, their 2005 debut went triple platinum. Its follow-up still trades in hard-driving anthems ("Use Me") and catchy hair-metal refrains (the title track), but frontman Austin Winkler is a bad representative for emotional frat dudes, especially when he suggests on one wistful power ballad that we "live life with no regrets." Thanks for the advice, bro.
