3 Doors Down (Bonus Track Version) – 3 Doors DownView More By 3 Doors Down Our ReviewTheir fourth album finds 3 Doors Down veering from late 20th century post-grunge toward alt-metal based radio rock, though "Train" opens the album with a subtle twang that borrows from 1970s southern rock. And if the tribal grooves and foreboding guitars of "Citizen/Soldier" sound somewhat familiar, it could be because the band licensed it to be used in a National Guard recruiting commercial. The album's first single "It's Not My Time" starts off sounding like '80s Queensryche before the singing comes in, throwing the kind of melodiously barbed hooks that will grapple your memory like a catchy jingle or a bygone Goo Goo Dolls song. Singer Brad Arnold inflects like Eddie Vedder on "Let Me Be Myself," but the song is too much of an orchestrated power ballad to sound like a Pearl Jam ditty. "Your Arms Feel Like Home" is a more endearing serenade that's so pretty it could easily be stripped down to approximate a Keith Urban-esque country hit. Of the two bonus tracks, "Feet In The Water" and "Who Are You," the former rolls with chunky riffs and whiskey textured vocals, while the latter rocks like an updated Mountain song sans cowbell.. Customer ReviewsInspiration and optimism highlights 3 Doors Down's latest effort (4 stars)Mississippi post-grunge rockers 3 Doors Down strike back after a three-year absence with their much-anticipated self-titled release. Lead singer Brad Arnold grabs listeners by the throat with his distinct vocals and does not let go until the album’s last note. The band kicks off the disc with a high-powered rock ‘n smash track in “Train.” The instrumentation fit’s the lyrics perfectly, as the hard sound and guitar interludes blit Begins with a bang! (5 stars) I was geniunely surprised as to how hard this cd came out. TRain is one of their edgier songs (which may not necessarilly mean much comparitively), but all in all it is another great album by 3 doors down. I see many new potentially Kryptonite rock songs, but there is definitely a large amount of "Here Without You" ballads on here, my favorite probably being Let Me Be Myself. Overall, a great summer album to have in the backgrou Simply Amazing! (5 stars) This album blew me away. It is over flowing with emotion. It is similar to their previous albums but at the same time something sounds different and better.

"Kryptonite," with its minor-key shuffle and references to Superman, was the catalyst for the band's career, generating an unprecedented buzz at a local radio station — Biloxi's WCPR — during the band's independent days. Such support helped make 3 Doors Down a regional...
