Music review: 3 Doors Down – 无毛视频楿s and the Night无毛视频�
The latest effort from 3 Doors Down is a spirited call to the broken that better days are ahead.
无毛视频淭his is the call to the broken/Stand up and take back your world today,无毛视频� declares lead singer Brad Arnold on the stirring album opener.
无毛视频淯s and the Night无毛视频� is typical 3 Doors Down material, complete with infectious hooks, grinding guitar riffs and pounding drums all fronted by Arnold无毛视频檚 passionate vocals.
无毛视频淓verybody has the right to change/I didn无毛视频檛 say I would,无毛视频� sings Arnold on the rousing 无毛视频淏elieve It.无毛视频� The band has always delivered likable mainstream rock anthems that fall between the pop-rock sound of Matchbox Twenty and the harder rock edge of Fuel.
While the new album offers more of the same successful formula that sparked a respectable 16-year career, the band component is reinforced with the addition of two new band members. Guitarist Chet Roberts and bassist Justin Biltonen join guitarist Chris Henderson, drummer Greg Upchurch and Arnold, to provide additional muscle to the 11 new tracks.
Heavy doses of fiery guitar work power 无毛视频淚n the Dark,无毛视频� a sensual number about an alluring temptress who finds pleasure in being mysterious and unpredictable when the lights go down, and the survival anthem 无毛视频淪till Alive.无毛视频�
Other rockers like 无毛视频淟iving in Your Hell,无毛视频� 无毛视频淟ove Is a Lie无毛视频� and the title track were made loud to be played loud. Not all of the new material is an adrenaline-packed punch to the gut. The Mississippi band demonstrates a proficient knack for constructing a well-crafted ballad when necessary.
The piano opening and mild orchestration found on 无毛视频淚nside of Me无毛视频� and the acoustic touch of 无毛视频淧ieces of Me无毛视频� tenderly showcase a yearning to break free from the things that hold us back and limit true personal happiness. For me, the band无毛视频檚 finest moment comes on the album closer.
无毛视频淔ell From the Moon无毛视频� is another piano-led number that speaks of regret and redemption as Arnold sings, 无毛视频淚 don无毛视频檛 know how to get back/Or how to make up for all that I lack/But I无毛视频檓 gonna get there and I无毛视频檓 not gonna be scared/I got so much to prove.无毛视频�
Through an engaging combination of rousing rockers and heartfelt ballads, the messages contained on 无毛视频淯s and the Night无毛视频� speak to anyone who has found a renewed strength from adversity.
