While it is unfortunate that the guys in Chevelle merely point out the problem without suggesting many solutions we can support their disapproval with so much of what is wrong with our culture and hope that in future albums they may point to a right response to these same problems. In many regards this album is a call to social revolution against those who would homogenize and commodify art and human existence.

Within these songs lies a deep mourning and angry lashing out at the commercialization and plastic nature of Western civilization. While not quite a concept album there is a definite similarity and uniformity between the music and words of these 11 songs. Lyrically, This Type of Thinking is cryptic and enigmatic but, as is noted in the bio on their webpage, Pete communicates more in the way he sings his words than by the words he sings. The music of Chevelle is unapologetically simple and straight forward: hard, driving beats geared up with explosive guitar riffs and the haunting voice and scream of brother Pete. 2002’s Wonder did not suffer from the same production and mixing issues and ended up surprising critics and fans alike when it landed three radio singles and garnered them enough respect in the mainstream Rock/Metal scene to earn them the bragging rights of playing mainstage on the Ozzfest tour. Their first album Point #1 was put out by the small Christian label Squint records and was plagued by poor mixing and production. Chevelle’s third album follows in the footsteps of the surprising success of their 2002 release Wonder What’s Next which was their first album with Epic records. On their third full-length EP Peter, Samuel and Joseph (the three brothers who form Chevelle) deliver an aggressive powerhouse of an album.
