LIMITED EDITION DVD INCLUDES:

+ All video clips including "I Hate Everything About You," "Just Like You" and "Home" + Excerpts from Three Days Grace's Rolling Stone/Real/Rhapsody acoustic performance in studio + Brazilian concert live footage + B-Roll

so, despite 3 mediocore tracks, this album more than makes up for it.. a very good album, a few essential tracks makes it more than worth it.


My first taste of Three Days Grace....   June 21, 2005
 27 out of 35 found this review helpful

Like many other reviewer's here my first taste of Three Days Grace was hearing the song 'Just Like You' on our local radio rock stations here in Sydney and I knew I had to get the album release and I sure wasn't disappointed. When I heard the song 'I Hate Everything About You', I immediately knew I purchased a great album from an up and coming rock group. Yes the radio versions of the song made this band sound more 'popish' but the CD does this band the ultimate justice and the way they wanted to be heard and sound. This band of young men are pure rock, through and through with a touch of punk. The guitars are the signature sound of this new band on the nu-rock scene and whilst it is different and the lyrics are wonderous and tell a story of a angst ridden teenage world, the band follows through with 12 songs of the highest quality. The song 'Let You Down' is also a nice one and the second last song is a nice ending touch to this magnificient album.
Get this album if you liked the 'Lost Prophets' or 'Jet'. I look forward to more of this band in the coming years.


Great Band, With Plenty Of Potential   December 24, 2004

By now everyone has developed an opinion of Three Days Grace. As of this point, they are the most played band on modern rock radio since Linkin Park or Creed. The great thing about TDG is that they have the ability, and a solid debut, to back up all of their seemingly sudden popularity. Now, as far as the album goes, it's not the most original piece of work -- the topics and emotions expressed here have been done to death before (and their sound has traces of Finger Eleven and Staind all over it) -- but the key here is that the music is pretty interesting and innovative at times (for this genre anyways) and all the songs are sung with conviction. To make a comparison, these guys are much in the same vein as Smile Empty Soul. Everyone knows the instantly recognizable singles "I Hate Everything About You" and "Just Like You," but there are other moments that are just as worthy of recognition. "Home," their newest single, is easily my favorite song of the batch. Just like the other two singles, this one revolves around a topic that is almost universal, but this song is just much more emotional and definitely grabs you from the opening. "Drown" is a deeply depressing, but very genuine song (I love the first few lines to that song), while more upbeat, but still negative songs like "Scared" (with it's overbearing opening riff) and "Overrated" fill the room and represent the band's live power to perfection. Afterall, having been able to see them live, I can tell you they put on quite a show. And this is definitely one of those albums that sounds better live. Although there isn't one song in particular I don't like, this album isn't without it's flaws, but I think it's safe to say Three Days Grace will be able to cement themselves a little better on their next album. As is stands though, this is a great beginning. The bonus DVD is a nice addition, as it features all three of their current music videos, with making-of features (Raab Himself, of "Jackass" fame even shows up during the "Just Like You" shoot) and plenty of live footage, the highlight of which being their acoustic set for Rollingstone.com. If you're a fan of modern-rock, hard-rock, or whatever you want to call it, TDG will most likely be right up your alley. And if you really love the album, the reissue is worth the money.


Another Great Upcoming Band   August 18, 2003

I have really been into some of the new bands coming out like Revis, Smile Empty Soul, Depswa, Closure, Double Drive, Pulse Ultra, 12 Stone, Trust Company, Dry Cell, Trapt, Buzzhorn & Mad At Gravity and Three Days Grace was just another pleasant surprise. I first heard I Hate Everything About You and I was drawn in. The rest of the cd is full of great songs, with Scared & Born Like This being the only two songs I wasn't crazy about. Their sound isn't unique, as they sound very similar to Canadian counterpart Finger Eleven. But if you like Finger Eleven, the bands I listed above and well written lyrics combined with very emotional music, this cd is a can't miss.

This album was amazing. what lead me onto it was my friend liking it, and since he likes to same music as me, i thought i'd give this a try. i didnt like the single they first put out called i hate every thing about you, but now i love it because of the deepness of it. I got the CD and couldn't put it down.
1.) Burn - great song, amazing chorus. the lyrics stand out more in this song than the rest. 5/5
2.) just like you - cool song, but grew old fast for me. 4.5/5
3.) i hate every thing about you - very very good, i can't get enough of it. 5/5
4.) home- didnt like it at first, but now its one of my favorites. 5/5
5.) scared - lyircs are a little...shallow. not deep enough. "i think i hear it creeping, i think i feel it move". a little immature. 3.5/5
6.) let you down - my fav on the album. i love the lyrics, reminds me of a vampire cult (lol), but thats not a bad thing. The instruments are played so well in this song. i can listen to it for days straight. 5/5
7.) now or never - about wanting more from life and wanting to change whats happening in the world. great message. 5/5
8.) born like this - not sure what its about...but its cool nonetheless. 4/5
9.) drown - AMAZING. about getting away from a bad relationship with whomever it might be. 5/5
10.) wake up - has the best line in it, "i must be running out of luck, cause you're just not drunk enough to f---". haha I LOVE IT! 5/5
11.) take me under - about sex? lol. um its pretty good. doesnt stand out, but still a solid song. 4/5
12.) overrated - very cool. the lyrics are great in this one. 5/5

overall, the CD is great, but the lyrics needed a little tweaking. also i noticed that they are very repetative. o well. great bands like Nirvana had repetative songs, but still remained on top of the world. I believe this band will grow from album to album and expand their music into deep and touching themes that will only make them even more greatly accomplished.
