3 Doors Down: Brad Arnold (vocals, drums); Matt Roberts, Chris Henderson (guitar); Todd Harrell (bass).
Additional personnel: Kevin Paige (keyboards).
Recorded at Ardent Studios, Memphis, Tennessee.
"Kryptonite" was nominated for the 2001 Grammy Award for Best Rock Song.
The Better Life, 3 Doors Down's debut album, positions them somewhere between radio-ready post-grunge and more aggressive alternative metal. The best songs are memorable exercises in that style, and even though the songwriting is uneven, that's often to be expected from a first record; there is at least an indication of potential here. ~ Steve Huey
The success story of 3 Doors Down starts typically enough. An aggressive and unrelenting phone campaign to radio stations for their breakaway single "Kryptonite" snowballed into a showcase at New York's legendary CBGB's and a deal with Universal Records. The Escatawpa, Missouri quartet offers a sound that is grounded in '90s alternative rock but doesn't ignore the contributions of hard-rock music's foundations from the '60s and '70s.
"Loser" finds 3 Doors Down using Alice In Chains-influenced minor-key vocal harmonies and acoustic-then-electric dynamics. In "Duck and Run," vocalist/lyricist Brad Arnold urges fans to remain positive despite life's trials. The delicate balance of human relations is explored in "Not Enough." In "Be Like That," Arnold sings of a daydreamer's envy, sounding like a heavier Matchbox 20. Though the band began as a power trio, with Arnold on drums and vocals, 3 Doors Down added a second guitarist and a drummer to fatten its sound for THE BETTER LIFE.Entertainment Weekly (6/2/00, pp.78-9) - "...Shows the boys have assiduously studied the Metallica/Pearl Jam/Creed oeuvres. At its swaggering best, LIFE crackles with energy and crowd-pleasing choruses..." - Rating: B-
Q (12/00, p.136) - 3 stars out of 5 - "...A bolt-together Stone Temple Alice in Pearl Jam's Soundgarden hybrid....this is rock for people who wear woolen muscle vests and worry about hair products..." 3 Doors Down Better Life Songs Better Life Music Review Average Rating: (4.5 out of 5 stars)   List All Reviews Very Very Good!
I'd say this is my favorite 3 Doors Down album. It is a CD you can listen to a fair bit and not get bored or sick of listening to it. I enjoy listening too all the song, but the songs that particularly stand out to me are; " Kryptonite", " Duck and Run", " Be Like that", " Better Life", " Smack", and " So I Need You".
Very Well Done!

 The better life
This cd does not sound anything like creed. There is a hint of George Lynch guitar riffage but that is not a bad thing. THIS IS CD IS A GREAT SOLID RELEASE. Scott Stapp is a cockey wannabe Jim Morrison. Three Doors Down have talent and originality. cd is worth a listen

Great Stuff
I would totally recommend buying this album as it rocks! At first I didn't listen to much other than Kryptonite, Duck and Run, Not Enough and Better life since I had heard them before but the more I listen to it, the more I start to like the other songs as well. I now think that all the songs rock due to the wicked as lyrics and cool band.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No Strong Debut!!
My brother first got me into this band and I also heard the song "Kryptonite" and after that I just decided to go buy it. At first I wasan't too impressed with the album, but the album does grow on you. The singles alone are worth buying this cd. Key tracks on here are "Kryptonite", "Loser", "Duck and Run", and "Down Poison." So if you want to hear a good strong debut by a good band I suggest you buy this album.

| | Fleetwood Mac Mr Wonderful CD (1968) (Import) Germany
Better Life
$12.65
Remastered import edition features a bonus outtake of "I Held My Baby Last Night."
Although it made number ten in the U.K., Fleetwood Mac's second album was a disappointment following their promising debut. So much of the record was routine blues that it could even be said that it represented something of a regression from the first LP, despite the enlistment of a horn section and pianist Christine Perfect (the future Christine McVie) to help on the sessions. In particular, the limits of Jeremy Spencer's potential for creative contribution were badly exposed, as the tracks that featured his songwriting and/or vocals were basic Elmore James covers or derivations. Peter Green, the band's major talent ...
| | Sparklehorse Dreamt For Light Years In The Belly Of A Mountain CD (2006)
Better Life
$12.59 
Sparklehorse: Mark Linkous (vocals, guitar, strings, pump organ, keyboards, synthesizer, bass guitar, drums).
Additional personnel: Rex White (pedal steel guitar); Tim Regan, Tom Waits (piano); Dave Fridmann (vibraphone, bass guitar); Scott Miner (drums, electronics); Steven Broad, Johnny Hott, Steven Drozd (drums); Danger Mouse (drum programming, sampler).
More than five years after 2001's highly acclaimed IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE, Sparklehorse's Mark Linkous finally re-emerged from some rustic lair with DREAMT FOR LIGHT YEARS IN THE BELLY OF A MOUNTAIN, a title that seemingly doubles as a cryptic explanation for his absence. As always, this Sparklehorse outing is gilded with Linkous's warmly inviting, yet vaguely haunting arrangements, and his favorite narrative elements (sharp objects, spirits, etc.). While there are rocked-out Pixies-like moments (the searing "Ghost in the Sky" and the urgent "It's Not So Hard"), Linkous primarily leads his fellow travelers--including Tom Waits (on piano only), the Flaming Lips' Steven Drozd, and (oddly enough) Dangermouse--down scenic rural detours such as the dreamy "Don't Take My Sunshine Away" and the gorgeously melodic "Shade and Honey." Although Sparklehorse diehards will recognize a few tracks as previously released rarities, anyone who appreciates Linkous's fascinating vision will not be disappointed.
Mark Linkous has ...
