The iHeart Radio and Billboard award-winning multiplatinum record-breaking Ontario, Canada quartet-Matt Walst, Barry Stock, Brad Walst, and Neil Sanderson -balance moments of extreme emotion on an axis of pummeling hard rock anthems and pensive balladry. Three Days Grace harness this ebb and flow in their music. Between these peaks and valleys, we grow, change, and progress. Moments of calm give way to chaos only to eventually slip back into quiet.

Some more innovation and this band is ready to distinct itself in the Alternative scene and far beyond.Life ebbs and flows in bursts of energy. They can handle harder and softer songs, vocally is everything fine. Three Days Grace DO have serious potential and showed this in this album. I was very surprised when I met this band. Three Days Grace is more daring here han in their previous album but a bit more innovation could made it even better. It's not that all songs sound the same but they all have a very clear link and are very comparable in style and sound. What's wrong with it? Well this album lacks some innovativity by times. In this album we are being served of 13 catchy Alternative Metal songs. Songs like ' Animal I Have Become', 'Time of Dying' and ' Never Too Late' will be stuck in your ears for days. The "catchiness" remains and will probably remain in their future albums. The album makes a good balance between lighter songs, even in the direction of ballads, and songs with a healthy punch. There are much references too their previous album but the sound has become more mature. The guitars are smoother and the drumming has technically improved. Musically the band has become better too. But in the slower songs he still keeps a good clean vox. He shouts more often in this album and in ' Riot' he goes even a bit further. Gontier also explored some other approaches on the vocals. This result in somewhat darker lyrics than what we heard in their previous self-titled album.

In his lyrics he reflects his feelings during that rehab. The album One-X was written by Adam Gontier, the vocalist, while he was in rehab. Three Days Grace has grown up both lyrically and instrumentally and that can be clearly heard in this album. Their second album One-X was musical bulls-eye and success wasn't far behind. I got to know them by friends of me who are huge fans of this bands These Canadians made a serious popularity flight the last years with their mix of Alternative Metal, Grunge and Hardrock. There are some exceptions, like we see with the band Three Days Grace. Do good mainstream Metal bands exist? Yes they do! Does popularity ensure quality? No, it doesn't. most metalheads avoid it because there's quite some rubbish in this genre.
