Review
"Life Starts Now" by Three Days Grace is a real game-changer for the Canadian rockers. Produced by Howard Benson, this third studio album showcases a more raw and organic sound that packs a serious punch. The band decided to record together in a live room, giving the tracks an intense, in-your-face feel that's perfect for getting your blood pumping.
Lyrically, the guys took a more optimistic approach this time around, drawing from their experiences on the road. You can hear this shift in tracks like "World So Cold" and "Someone Who Cares," which blend killer melodies with some pretty deep lyrics. But don't worry, they haven't gone soft on us - songs like "Bitter Taste" and "The Good Life" still bring those powerful riffs and fist-pumping choruses that Three Days Grace is known for.
What's really cool about this album is how it balances the band's trademark hard rock sound with more personal songwriting. They've stripped back the layered guitars for a more direct impact, aiming for what they call a "Zeppeliny" bigness. It's a solid mix of high-energy tracks and emotional ballads that shows how much the band has grown. Whether you're a die-hard fan or new to their music, "Life Starts Now" has something for everyone who appreciates good, honest rock. - Ethan
