"For him it sounded " like from the retort and bored at the latest enormously after the third song. " For Albert Ranner of cdstarts.de is 3 Doors Down from two songs: " The rebellious, testosterone -driven alternative - grunge rockers with pop appeal without corners and edges and between sometimes loud, sometimes quiet oscillating half-ballad. " And again it is said: " so if you have quite a few albums of the Americans are in the closet, the money for 3 Doors Down can be safely used for other things ." Conny shipbuilders ruled in Rock Hard magazine as follows: "A year-long sabbatical took the U.S. Modern rockers 3 Doors Down, to come to himself after career stress of recent years again. The break has been good for the band and their music, for 3 Doors Down scores with more pressure, more solos, and just generally more bite than its predecessor Seventeen Days. The riffs in a crisp opener Train, the dynamic road track Runaway and the demanding Give It to Me popping pithy and with more hard rock -Drive out of the speakers. On the other hand, the quintet kneels in tried and tested way back in rousing passionate ( semi) ballads like Pages and Let Me Be Myself, whose partly autobiographical texts provide insights into the emotional life of a musician. With These Days and It's the Only One You've Got Although two toothless average numbers have crept in; but these will be offset by the strong first single It's Not My Time and the proud anthem Citizen / Soldier again. There have been awarded 8.5 out of a possible ten points, the same note was the album on average even with the magazine's readers.
