THREE DAYS GRACE: Three Days Grace (GRUNGE): review / opinion to read on Music Waves

The Post Grunge, what is it? Grunge is easy, it's guys with greasy hair, dressed so as not to be naked, a bit tortured, recording in a garage and proposing depressing compositions as tortured as they are ! One would have thought that Post Grunge would be all that, only worse...

The first thing you notice about Three Days Grace is that the Post Grunge look has been put through the washing machine. No greasy hair or torn clothes! On the other hand, in terms of style, we're dealing with the meeting of its big brother for anger and hard US for efficiency.

The result? 12 tracks, 12 hits, which makes 12 good reasons to listen to this album! The voice is raging and mastered and the compositions are direct and addictive despite an undeniable respect of the codes. The choruses not only make you want to raise your fist but also to sing them. From 'Burn' to 'Scared', via 'Let You Down' or 'Overhead', even if the atmosphere is dark and the general mood is not one of fun, the energy is communicative and makes you want to get up rather than stay down.

Let's mention the two gems that are 'I Hate Everything About You', with its raging explosions, and 'Home', haunted by the magnetic cover of its title and fat riffs, alternating with clearer arpeggios before a bridge and an overpowering cover of the chorus. And if these two tracks are to be listened to first, the radical 'Let You Down', the melancholic 'Take Me Under' or the raging 'Wake Up' could also land in your favourites.

So what is post grunge? Obviously, it's good! In any case, this Three Days Grace album is an excellent representative of it: immediate but still effective in the long run, powerful but not without subtlety, sad and angry... Like grunge... Or almost! - Official website
