What parents need to know
Parents need to know that this band sounds like a retread of other, better bands.
What's the story?
Overwrought and unoriginal, THREE DAYS GRACE has very little going for it. The pedestrian lyrics, hysterical vocals, uninspired guitar solos, thrashing and tedious rhythm section, and easy-to-define influences leave little left to love.There's nothing inherently wrong with paying tribute to one's favorite artists, but the danger comes when a band brings nothing new to the table. This self-titled debut effort screams "Hey, we're a bad Soundgarden/Black Sabbath tribute band," not "We love the old stuff and we're also adding a little something of our own." Ultimately, this makes all the difference.
Is it any good?
The lyrics are ridiculous examples of just-plain-bad writing. "We have no use for the truth/Now's the time for us to lose/Who we are and how we've tried/Taking every step in stride" is just one of many instances of bad lyrics. The performances are good but not great. There's some swearing, a few lines about drinking, a gun reference or two. But the worst thing about Three Days Grace is that it's just plain boring.
What families can talk about
Families can talk about the importance maintaining a spark of originality no matter who your musical influences may be.

This review is extremely biased, the whole point of this site is to give and unbiased REVIEW of this album. Write truthfully, that yes they do swear, but there is no need to write that THese guys say its ookay to be REALLY boring So, Kathy, next time you write a review, make it a review, we do not need to hear you're opinion on this band.

Best Band Ever
Well I own this album and their latest one one-x. And i have their concert dvd. I guess you could say these guys are my favorite band. The music is really good for teens and pre-teens. Yes there is some foul language and Drug refrences but nothing to heavy. Mostly in their biggist hit on the from the song "I Hate Everything About You" there is a quote "after every hit we take". But that it and nothing major. My advice is if your child askes you to buy this album you can let him or her.

DON'T LISTEN TO THE REVIEW
This is a fantastic album. The reviewer must have switched around an accurate review for Justin Beaver with an accurate review for Three Days Grace. It doesn't send a bad message just because your weird head finds it boring. It's anything but boring. There are a few profanities, violent images, and drug and drinking references, but it's a great album. Recommend it for older kids and teens.

Whoever wrote this is an idiot. This band can connect with kids who are experiencing temper issues. And how are they unoriginal? This band talks about never giving up and always being yourself. Unlike most of the reviews on this site this one is not very well thought out.

No F-Bombs, no sexual themes, and a LITTLE reference to drugs. This is amazing music and whoever wrote this is probably supporting JB. There really is nothing to worry about in this album.

Amazing band. A lifesaver. <3
I love this band. The lyrics are meaningful.
The reviewer must be deaf or something. The band is amazing, Adam has an incredible voice, the lyrics are heartfelt and touching, I highly recomend the group. This band is far from boring.
And honestly, you shouldn't just rely on reviewers like this who only give their opinion. I thought this website was to determine whats APPROPRIATE for peoples kids >_>

If this is considered indie, the reviewer needs to get more musical education...
Honestly, this isn't great (heck, you could do much worse with Nickleback) bad. Violence: Not much. Sex: None. Language: Just some F-bombs, but you'll hear worse. Drugs/Alchohol: A reference or two. Honestly, when the original reviewer said "You've heard it all before", he/she wasn't kidding. This is basically post-grunge, which is basically overrated pollution in the airwaves (very few exceptions, though a.k.a. Foo Fighters). Skip this.
