Business as usual

Anyone who loved Three Days Grace before and did not want them to change will still love them now.

The popular Canadian band’s new album, “Life Starts Now,” has the same angst-ridden style as their old albums. For all those Three Day’s Grace fans, there are no surprises here.

This album, like all the others, has the same angry, intense lyrics and the same attacking guitar solos. The album starts out strong with the great energy but taxing lyrics of “Bitter Taste.” The first single, “Break,” features hard energy with sharp sounds and fiery vocals.

However, their songs start to depreciate throughout the rest of the album.

“The Good Life” is just weird, with its odd vocal changes and choppy sounds that just don’t really belong, and “Goin’ Down” is just as awkward. It is not the work of a great lyricist at his best. 

Three Days Grace, despite their lack of originality, will probably do very well with “Life.” They still have the same hard-hitting lyrics that every Three Days Grace fan loves, even if it’s the same old story.
