The Good
3 Doors Down are back and come out swinging with the blusey hard rocker "Train."
The lyrically catchy track delves into issues about leaving home and finding
one's self. "Citizen/Soldier" is a steady track devoted to the
men and women serving our country. 3 Doors Down has had many a song associated
with soldier tributes so it was only natural the penned this one. The twist
here is more about home support rather than support abroad. "It's
Not My Time" is another instant hit for the band. If you don't find
this chorus catchy, then you must be dead. The lyrics of "Pages" seem
to be quite personal for Brad Arnold. The track is about song lyrics that
mean nothing if they
are never heard or read. "These Days" is a mellow track about
whether to break up or stay together. "Your Arms Feel Like Home" is
a tender and heartfelt ballad about how love brings us to the place where
we feel most comfortable.
The Bad
The album runs a little short for a full-length (45 min). They wanted until
the fourth album to call it self-titled?
The Verdict
3 Doors Down are back from a brief hiatus, but you'd swear they've never
left. It's another album jam-packed with hard rocking riffs, smoothed over
with blusey guitar runs and soulful vocals. You can't dismiss the
killer ballads that will melt the coldest heart either.
