For album number three Three Days Grace holed up in the studio with Howard Benson. This means you can count on crunchy guitars and an overall crystal-clear sound. It goes well with the band’s knack for writing arena-ready rock anthems.
The album kicks off with the especially vitriol-laced « Bitter Taste » and they carry that vibe right into « Break ». Unfortunately the album also has its Nickelback moments («No More « , «Last To Know « ) which kinda suck because… well, let’s face it, Nickelback is bad taste incarnate. But then there’s « Lost In You » and the überslick «The Good Life « with its instantly memorized chorus which make up for the crappier songs on here. I’ll just come out and admit that « Life Starts Now » is probably going to be one of this year’s guilty pleasures for this reviewer.
Score : 7 out of 10
