Gasoline is the second studio album released by Theory of a Deadman on March 29, 2005. The album features four songs used in the video game Fahrenheit (also known as Indigo Prophecy), "Santa Monica", "No Surprise", "Say Goodbye" and "No Way Out". The album was first released in Canada by 604 Records, and was later released in the U.S. by Roadrunner Records. The original 604 Records release of the album is fully unedited, however the Roadrunner version released in the U.S. contains edited versions of "No Surprise" and "Me & My Girl", making this the band's only album not to carry a "Parental Advisory" sticker until the release of their 8th studio album Dinosaur. The album was released to mixed reviews from critics.

Composition

Gasoline is an album with greater use of heavy riffs, as evidenced by tracks such as "Hating Hollywood" and "Quiver", the latter bearing the most resemblance to work by Stone Temple Pilots in the Purple era. Namely, the track "Silvergun Superman." However, generally walking the line between post-grunge and heavier material, there are also moments of introspection such as on "Santa Monica" and "Hello Lonely (Walk Away From This)."
