The band then added Barry Stock and became a quartet, relieving Gontier of Lead Guitar duties and only doing Rhythm Guitar and Lead Vocals.

All are fantastic songs that have lyrics that are seemingly inspired by a place of real pain and tragedy in Gontier’s vocal delivery and how you can almost feel the slight sadness with enough listens. The album was recorded and released in 2003 (the same year I was born) and saw mainly positive reviews, with many critics citing promise and little mistakes in the album or its singles, the aforementioned “I Hate Everything About You”, the anti-conformist Hard Rock/Punk tune “Just Like You”, and the rage filled “Home”. Reforming back in 1997, the band initially saw little success outside of local shows, and only in the early 2000s did they begin looking for record labels, with seven years worth of music, they gave it to a producer who picked out some songs, and made a demo album for others, which lead the band to being signed to Jive Records and making the smash hit “I Hate Everything About You” a song I feel is partially inspired by Gontier’s personal life, because the song feels like it took time and emotion to write, but sounds rushed and hard.

Three Days Grace (Or as I like to call it, Adam’s full control) This album will feature personal bias and unbiased and interesting tidbits and things I have either heard or read about the band or in their music, on with the review. This review is going over everything by them up till their most recent album and single, which is Outsider and “Somebody That I Used to Know” respectively. The introduction of Matt signalled a schism that still goes on in this fandom as it does any, who is better? My opinion? Adam, for many reasons, and I will get into it later. Adam Gontier on Lead Vocals and all Guitar duties (Rhythm and Lead), Neil Sanderson on Drums, and Brad Walst on all Bass duties became a promising and powerful force with the popularity of their first song, “I Hate Everything About You” sending it rocketing up the Rock charts, but I must ask… What the Hell happened? The band added a fourth member who gave it a new edge and harshness for their upcoming albums, but then Adam left the band (I have a theory I’ll get into further on) and was replaced by Brad Walst’s younger brother, Matt Walst of My Darkest Days (a band I have no opinion on as I haven’t listened to them) and Adam forming another band that I feel sounds more akin to his Three Days Grace than… well, Three Days Grace. The band began its life as a small project made up of friends in highschool, three of which would form the original lineup for Three Days Grace. Three Days Grace, a name synonymous with the Hard Rock boom of the early 2000s. This review does feature coarse language and my personal thoughts on the band and their work, if you do not agree with it, I respect your choice, and I hope you'll respect mine and come into this with an open and clear mind, I am a Three Days fan at heart, but now I sort of question it.
