With a sound equal parts Pearl Jam/Creed grunge-anthemic and Hinder modern/heavy, and a touch of hard-edged Southern rock that betrays its Mississippi origins, 3 Doors Down was a huge success straight out of the gate, and quickly became one of the biggest rock bands in the country. The group's fourth album finds it continuing confidently down the path the band established, as Brad Arnold's voice contrasts heavyweight wailing with contemplative near-crooning. Rampaging riff monsters like "Train" rub shoulders with the power balladry of "Your Arms Feel Like Home," as the band's trademark mix of raw energy and melodic pop unfurls itself once more.
Like many heavy guitar bands who surfaced at the tail-end of the '90s, 3 Doors Down have reverted to comfortable old habits in their advanced years, shedding some of the post-grunge trappings of their hit album in favor of a slightly more conventional sound, one where classic rock mixes it up with '80s metal. Not that the boys have gotten fun on their eponymous 2008 album. Some of the cavernous murk has lifted, some of the sonics have straightened out, replaced by something that's heavier yet still leaden -- as typified by the opening "Train," which lurches with the intention of turning into a Southern-fried Skynyrd rocker but never quite does -- but the group is inherently indisposed to having a laugh. Naturally, a group this earnest does sing about matters of life and death, as on "Citizen/Soldier," a salute to America's National Guardsmen, that wound up being used in a National Guard recruitment ad in the year prior to the release of 3 Doors Down, but there's heartfelt searching, like when singer Brad Arnold complains that "It's Not My Time," or the many times he decides he just has to be himself, thereby exhorting his fans to do the same. All this moodiness is set to guitars that surge, not really riding any riffs but rather pushing his pleas forward on Walls of Sound so compressed and cleansed they wind up sounding like mush. And that's the ultimate irony of 3 Doors Down as they mature: try as they may to pour out their angst-ridden hearts, by riding out their success and smoothing out their music they've turned into mildly aggro background music at malls and movie theaters across the nation. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine 3 Doors Down Music Review Average Rating: (3.7 out of 5 stars)   List All Reviews Solid Return
It's been awhile since a new 3 Doors Down album and fans have been waiting diligently. And 3DD delivers. Their eponymous album is solid, I can't say if it's their best but it is a great album. It flows well, with only a few weaker songs, and will definitely please long time fans. The hooks they're known for are still their; this is shown in their second single "It's Not My Time", which is reminiscent of "When I'm Gone" stylistically.
Overall, 3 Doors Down is a solid release that breaks no new ground for the band but continues to supply what they're best at

Decent Album, Can play through all songs without changing CD
The only issue I have Is songs 1 - 3 are all Harder Rock with a great sound, then it switches up to almost soft Rock or Easy Listening, A little too slow for my liking.

 Back To Basics
This cd as well as away from the sun shows 3 doors down at it's best. When I listen to a cd I like the music to show the band at it's best. Citizen Soldier is my favorite song by 3 doors down. 17 days wasn't horrible, but it was just to soft for me. This cd brings back the music that shows 3 doors down as the great band it is . Rock on 3 doors down.

A Good Return.
A very return, I am glad there back. This cd is solid just like there old album "The Better Life". Sounds very good. One of their best. Better than "Seventeen Days". Just about as good as "The Better Life"

Purchase 3 Doors Down CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | 3 Doors Down Seventeen Days CD (2005)
3 Doors Down
 $12.55 
3 Doors Down: Brad Arnold (vocals, drums); Chris Henderson , Matt Roberts (guitar); Todd Harrell (bass guitar).
Additional personnel: Bob Seger (vocals).
The stronger songwriting on 3 Doors Down's multi-platinum sophomore effort, Away from the Sun, was encouraging, especially after the rote post-grunge of their 2000 breakthrough, "Kryptonite." But the hit single "When I'm Gone" resonated in particular with American military personnel and their families, who identified with lyrics like "Hold me when I'm here" and "Love me when I'm gone" as deployment to Iraq became imminent in spring 2003. That populism guides Seventeen Days, the Mississippi band's third full-length album. Its liner notes connect to a cross-section of U.S. culture, thanking NFL quarterbacks and major league ballplayers alongside Tim McGraw, Metallica, Dale Earnhart Jr., and "our troops everywhere." And Away from the Sun's Southern ...
| | Nickelback All The Right Reasons CD (2005)
3 Doors Down
$14.79   
Nickelback: Ryan Peake, Chad Kroeger (vocals, guitar); Mike Kroeger (bass guitar); Daniel Adair (drums).
With their fourth album, All the Right Reasons, Nickelback ditches any pretense of being a grunge band and finally acknowledges they're a straight-up heavy rock band. Not that they've left the angst of grunge behind: they're a modern rock band living in a post-grunge world, so there's lots of tortured emotions threaded throughout the 11 songs here. But where their previous albums roiled with anger -- their breakthrough "How You Remind Me" was not affectionate, it was snide and cynical -- there's a surprisingly large sentimental streak running throughout All the Right Reasons, and it's not just limited to heart-on-sleeve power ballads like "Far Away" and "Savin' Me," the latter being the latest entry in their soundalike sweepstakes. No, lead singer/songwriter Chad Kroeger is in a particularly pensive mood here, looking back fondly at his crazy times in high school on "Photograph" ("Look at this photograph/Every time I do it makes ...
| | Theory Of A Deadman Scars & Souvenirs CD (2008)
3 Doors Down
$12.19
Theory of a Deadman: Tyler Connolly (vocals, guitars); David Brenner (guitars); Dean Back (bass guitar).
Melodic post-grunge wailers Theory of a Deadman have more in common with mentors Nickelback than just a shared north-of-the-border home base. Like the platinum radio-rockers, Theory isn't afraid to tone the heaviness down on songs like soaring power ballad "Heaven (Little By Little)" and sad-sack country-rocker "Hate My Life." SCARS AND SOUVENIRS features first-class chest-thumping vocals from Tyler Connolly and a sturdy helping of hard-rocking meat and potatoes from guitarist David Brenner. A guaranteed rock-radio crowd pleaser.
Scars and Souvenirs, the third album from Theory of a Deadman, sounds like a rehash of the band's first two albums -- which is to say that it sounds like Nickelback. Chad Kroeger signed them to his 604 Records label in 2001, and throughout Scars and Souvenirs, Theory of a Deadman draw upon the melodies, vocals, choruses, and riffs of Kroeger and company. Many examples abound, but the best is "Not Meant to Be," a song whose melody and chorus ...
| | Whitesnake Good To Be Bad CD (2008) Without Bonus CD
3 Doors Down
$14.69
Initial pressings of GOOD TO BE BAD included a bonus disc containing 7 live tracks and a video.
Issued more than a decade after Whitesnake's previous studio outing, 2008's GOOD TO BE BAD finds frontman David Coverdale leading a band of new hard-rock recruits. Easily one of the heaviest albums recorded by the blooze-leaning British act, the album benefits from Coverdale's well-weathered vocals and the twin guitar work of Doug Aldrich (Dio) and Reb Beach (Winger, Dokken), as evinced on the fierce opener, "Best Years."
Good to Be Bad marks Whitesnake's 30th anniversary as a band -- though frontman David Coverdale is the only original member. It's their first studio album since 1998's Restless Heart, which was never released in the United States. The current incarnation of Whitesnake is Coverdale, guitarists Doug Aldrich and Reb Beach, bassist Uriah Duffy, keyboardist Timothy Drury, and drummer Chris Frazier. Frazier is the band's newest member; the others appeared on 2006's Live...In the Shadow of the Blues. This is a seasoned road group, but it remained to be heard ...
| | Shinedown Sound Of Madness CD (2008)
3 Doors Down
$15.65
On its third studio outing, THE SOUND OF MADNESS, the post-grunge group Shinedown offers up another set of dramatic heavy rock. Easily the Floridian band's most dynamic album, MADNESS features both fierce, metallic tracks ("Devour," "Sin with a Grin") and surprisingly tender moments (the sensitive ballad "If You Only Knew"), with each tune emphasizing singer Brent Smith's powerful Chris Cornell-like vocals.
Those expecting a dash of insanity from Shinedown's third album, The Sound of Madness, will have their hopes crushed, but chances are that fans of the Jacksonville-based active rock band not only don't expect madness, they'd recoil if that's what the quartet offered. Few bands have embraced convention quite as enthusiastically as Shinedown, who play every post-grunge cliché as if it were dogma, something never to be questioned or debated, something that ...

3 Doors Down
$14.95
James Moody: James Moody (flute, tenor saxophone); Hank Jones (piano); Todd Coolman (bass instrument); Adam Nussbaum (drums, drum).
The combination of James Moody and Hank Jones, excepting a few minor instances, has not been documented since the 1963 Argo LP Great Day. So this match-up of two jazz giants, with a collective experience of some 170 years at the time of this recording, is long overdue and exceedingly welcome. Concentrating on the music of Dizzy Gillespie and Tadd Dameron, these living legends of mainstream bop and hard bop turn this stack of standards and a handful of originals into a refined, relaxed and easygoing program of pleasing and accessible tunes. Every cut sports excellent solos, unforced refrains, and, as the title suggests, a delightful repertoire. Moody's tenor has never sounded better, while the ever elegant Jones supports the band with the ultimate in supple subtleties. Bassist Todd Coolman (who also wrote the insightful liner notes) turns in a usually reliable and steady performance, while the great but still unsung drummer Adam Nussbaum displays a restraint and high level of taste that shows both of their unwavering respect for the icons they are backing.
Of the inventive Dameron's contributions, the title track rolls along easily as cleanly played by these experts. "Lady Bird" is comfy, melodic, and groovy featuring Coolman's seemingly effortless and laudable solo, while ...
| | Sarakula City Heart CD (2009) (Import)
3 Doors Down
$14.85
'That’s probably too big an introduction for the first single from Sydney piano boy Sarakula, but Caught In The Middle does have some of the tell-tale elements of excellent pop.... it has that classic pop hallmark – it makes me want to listen to it with a group of besties in the car on a roadtrip, and we all clap along and share knowing goofy smiles that it doesn’t get any better than this' Simon Topper, RAVE Magazine'Hearty, sunny piano pop from an actual piano man.' Simone, BEAT MagazineAustralian singer-songwriter Sarakula writes edgy piano-pop songs that you can’t get out of your head. He has been pursuing the dream of de-constructing the perfect pop song while backing himself confidently at the piano. On his forthcoming record 'City Heart' to be released in July, he will be dragging his piano-pop kicking and screaming out of his classic vinyl collection and into 2009.Sarakula has performed many times in the last few years in Europe and the USA. He's played in the great dive bars and piano bars of the world while stamping his name out as a songwriter. He sometimes jokingly refers to himself as a human jukebox of great pop songs. His songwriting has been shaped by these years of performing and the adventures that accompanied them. But the wry smile that he was able to produce while playing 'Piano Man' was wearing thin by the time he heard the 1000th request for that song. So Sarakula returned to Australia last year to complete an album that he had been writing and recording on and off the road.In August 2008 he released SOUVENIRS (MGM/Green Media Distribution) as Joel Sarakula. It is a record of bittersweet ballads about travels to the ends of the world and lost loves. To promote the album he played shows with The Basics and Pinky Beecroft among others and for all his hard work was selected ...
