Unitron
This Type of Thinking (Could Do Us in) is the third studio album from alternative metal band Chevelle. With the previous album propelling the band's popularity and being a great album on top of that, This Type of Thinking had quite the standard to follow up on.

Stylistically it follows in the same vein as Wonder What's Next, although it focuses on the melodic bits more this time around. There are still some crushing tracks, like opener "The Clincher", which is easily my favorite on the album and among my favorite Chevelle songs. The menacing yet driving guitar riff combined with Pete Loeffler's screams just make it difficult to not headbang. "Another Know It All" is probably the second most crushing track.

Out of the majority of songs, the more melodic ones, it's pretty hit or miss. Some of them are absolute killers, like "Breach Birth" and "Emotional Drought", while songs such as single "Vitamin R (Leading Us Along)" and "Panic Prone" just fall flat. The final song, "Bend the Bracket", mixes things up taking form as an menacing acoustic piece. Of the killer tracks, the aforementioned "Emotional Drought" is, despite the title, one of the most emotionally charged songs along with "The Clincher". It perfectly mixes the crushing riffs of the heaviest songs with some very passionate vocals from Pete Loeffler.

Like with the previous albums, the lyrics remain cryptic although some of the lyrics are among the band's best. These cryptic metaphors are one of the reasons I love the band, they leave most of the lyrics up to the listener.

While not reaching the heights of the previous album, This Type of Thinking is still a strong album, and contains some of Chevelle's best songs. While not the best, this album is still a good start for anyone getting into the band. Hope you found this review helpful.
