I'll do a song by song review, will include each chorus and my opinion on the song

A Million Miles An Hour
Insanity is setting in reality is getting thin
the universe just started slowing down
and suddenly were traveling
A million miles an hour
were going a million miles an hour

Now sure the song as a whole is about drugs (presumably Shrooms due to the line "I can taste the color of lights") but if you don't think of drugs, the song is great in itself 8/10

Edge of a Revolution
No, we won't give up, we won't go away
'Cause we're not about to live in this mass delusion
No, we don't wanna hear another word you say
'Cause we know they're all depending on mass confusion
No, we can't turn back, we can't turn away
'Cause it's time we all relied on the last solution
No, we won't lay down and accept this fate
'Cause we're standing on the edge of a revolution

An awesome song that has a lot going for it, due to the rebellious nature of the song 8.5/10

What Are You Waiting For?
You gotta go and reach for the top
Believe in every dream that you got
You only living one so tell me?
What are you, what are you waiting for?
You know you gotta give it your all
And don't you be afraid if you fall
You only living one so tell me?
What are you, what are you waiting for?

My absolute favorite song on the whole album, it reminds me of their song When We Stand Together except much slower. Plus the message in the song is amazing. The lyrics video to it is great as well 9.5/10

She Keeps Me Up
Funky little monkey, she's a twisted trickster
Everybody wants to be the sister's mister
Coca-Cola rollercoaster
Love her even though I'm not supposed to.

Funky little monkey, she's a twisted trickster
Everybody wants to be the sister's mister
Coca-Cola rollercoaster
Love her even though I'm not supposed to.

I keep you up (she keeps you up)
I keep you up (she keeps you up)
All night (All night)
All night (All night)

She keeps me up (I keep you up)
She keeps me up (I keep you up)
All night (All night)
All night (All night)

Obviously this song is about sex, but the beat is so catchy, you can't help but sing along 8.5/10

Make Me Believe Again
Make me believe again
In some kind of faith
Help me to see again
Before it's too late
'Cause forever is never
That far away
Make me believe again,
Make me believe again,
I can't pretend,
Make me believe again.
I can't pretend
Make me believe again

A very good song with a simple lyric, it makes me think that he's lost hope 8/10

Miss You
If I could give it all away
I'd do it just for one more day
I thought I had the time to wait
Now it's too late to tell you
That I

I miss you So, so, I do
I miss you So, so, I do (I miss you so much)
I miss you So, so, I do
I miss you So, so, I do (God knows I do)
I miss you So, so, I do
I miss you So, so, I do (I miss you so much)
I miss you So, so, I do
I miss you
so so I do

Well obviously he messed up in Make Me Believe Again and he lost the girl and now he misses her. A nice song with a repetitive line
8/10

Get 'Em Up
This is a robbery now get down on the floor
We’re here for all the s*** that you don’t need no more (yeah)
We want your cash open the safe get off the phone
Don’t be a hero and you might just make it home
Get ‘em up
Then get down
Reach for the sky
Then go ahead and kiss the ground
Get ‘em up
Get 'em up

Obviously they are wanting you to get your hands up, cause your getting robbed. A very interesting song lyrical but it has a nice beat
7/10

The Hammer's Coming Down
This is the calm before the coming storm
This is the red sky morning
Without warning now
This is the fight that we've been waiting for
And there's no sense in running
The hammer's coming down, The hammer's coming
The hammer's coming down,

It's obvious that he's talking about days going absolute hellacious and that there's no point in trying to escape the inevitable 8/10

Satellite
Let's lock the door behind us
They won't find us
Make the whole world wait

While we dance around this bedroom
Like we've only got tonight
Not about to let you
Go until the morning light

You can be my whole world
If I can be your satellite
Dance around this bedroom
Like tonight's our only night

Dance around this room
I'll be your satellite
Dance around this room
I'll be your satellite

He's making his woman (in Chad Kroeger's case, Avril Lavigne) the center of his whole world and his life revolves around her 8.5/10

Sister Sin
Lie me beside you every night
And dread the day you might be gone
She said "In case you hadn't noticed that
Played second fiddle to the bottle a little too long (no)
And I'm not about to anymore"

I'm not sure what to make of this song, what gets me in this is the title is only said once in the whole song 5/10 (for the simple fact I'm unsure of this song)

Got Me Runnin' Round
She's got me runnin' round and round
She takes like the sunshine kissing me
Baby sweeter than honey on a bumblebee
She said honey if you want to you can come with me
She's got me runnin' round and round

Another love song, BUT this one features Flo Rida. Flo Rida ruins the song for me, but my rating will not reflect that 6/10
