After about 3 years from the release of "The Better Life", 3 Doors Down follows up with this complete record.  Complete as in it has everything anyone would want in a contemporary rock album; terrifically catchy melodies, soaring choruses, meaty playing, and lyrics that reach for meaning.  This CD is sure to eclipse 3DD's debut.

It starts off with "When I'm Gone" (Right-click and save as), which I'm providing a low-quality .wma for.  "Away from the Sun", "Here Without You", and "Dangerous Game" are also great songs.  "Here Without You" is a weepy, ballad of-sort but good none the less.  The other songs are pretty good for the most part too, but won't get too much attention.

My track ratings: 1."When I'm Gone": (4.5), 2."Away from the Sun": (4.0), 3."The Road I'm On": (2.5), 4."Ticket to Heaven": (4.0), 5."Running out of Days": (2.0), 6."Here Without You": (4.5), 7."I Feel You": (2.0), 8."Dangerous Game": (3.5), 9."Changes": (3.0), 10."Going Down In Flames": (3.5), 11."Sarah Yellin'": (3.0).

In conclusion, I strongly recommend this CD to all alternative rock fans and too pop-rock fans.  Loyal hard rockers may think its a little soft but if you liked "The Better Life", you will like this.
