3 Doors Down Album: “The Better Life [Limited] [Slipcase]”

Description :

3 Doors Down: Brad Arnold (vocals, drums); Matt Roberts, Chris Henderson (guitar); Todd Harrell (bass). Additional personnel: Kevin Paige (keyboards). Recorded at Ardent Studios, Memphis, Tennessee. "Kryptonite" was nominated for the 2001 Grammy Award for Best Rock Song. 3 Doors Down: Brad Arnold (vocals, drums); Matt Roberts (guitar); Chris Henderson (gut-string guitar); Todd Harrell (bass guitar). Personnel: Daniel Adair (drums). Additional personnel: Kevin Paige (keyboards). The success story of 3 Doors Down starts typically enough. An aggressive and unrelenting phone campaign to radio stations for their breakaway single "Kryptonite" snowballed into a showcase at New York's legendary CBGB's and a deal with Universal Records. The Escatawpa, Missouri quartet offers a sound that is grounded in '90s alternative rock but doesn't ignore the contributions of hard-rock music's foundations from the '60s and '70s. "Loser" finds 3 Doors Down using Alice In Chains-influenced minor-key vocal harmonies and acoustic-then-electric dynamics. In "Duck and Run," vocalist/lyricist Brad Arnold urges fans to remain positive despite life's trials. The delicate balance of human relations is explored in "Not Enough." In "Be Like That," Arnold sings of a daydreamer's envy, sounding like a heavier Matchbox 20. Though the band began as a power trio, with Arnold on drums and vocals, 3 Doors Down added a second guitarist and a drummer to fatten its sound for THE BETTER LIFE.

- cd defect

I love the music that I ordered but there was a small problem. I could not listen to it without it skipping because of a manufactures defect called silve that went across the disc that would not allow clean play. It would keep skipping. The reason I know what it was is because I work at a cd manufacturing company that makes cd's and dvd's this disc could not have possible passed there inspection test without failing for an uncorrectable error or e22 error. This is not amazons fault though so I will still continue to order through them, I just got a bad disc.

- Nice addition to the original album

I won't waste time reviewing the content of the original album. The remastering maybe a little improved, but having the second disc full of live tracks from an energetic show an Houston make this a worthwhile purchase. Timeless!!!
