American Rock Revival: Hinder’s ‘All American Nightmare’ SHM-CD (UICU-1209)
Today’s entry spotlights the third studio album from the American post-grunge and hard rock band Hinder. We are looking at the 2011 Japanese pressing of “All American Nightmare,” released on the Universal Republic label with the catalog number UICU-1209. This particular copy includes the original obi strip.
Released on May 4, 2011, this album arrived about two years after “Take It to the Limit.” While their previous work leaned heavily into melodic hard rock, “All American Nightmare” sees the band injecting a heavier, grittier edge into their sound. Produced by Kevin Churko (known for his work with Ozzy Osbourne and Five Finger Death Punch), the album captures a “bad boy” rock aesthetic often compared to Mötley Crüe mixed with modern post-grunge heavy grooves.
The album is a mix of high-energy rockers and the band’s signature power ballads. Tracks like the driving opener “2 Sides Of Me” and the title track showcase their heavier side, while songs like “What Ya Gonna Do” and “Red Tail Lights” deliver the radio-friendly hooks that made them famous. It is a “thick-boned” American rock record that appeals to fans of Buckcherry, Nickelback, and Daughtry.
For collectors, this Japanese edition is the definitive version to own for two key reasons. First, it is pressed on SHM-CD (Super High Material CD), offering superior audio quality readable by standard players. Second, it is packed with four bonus tracks (tracks 11-14), including “Good Life,” “Bad Mutha F**ka,” and demo versions of two album cuts.
UICU-1209 is a high-quality package that captures Hinder at a heavier, more aggressive stage in their career, presented with the premium features expected of a Japanese release.
