Since 1992, a Canadian rock band named Three Days have sold millions of albums. From their previous albums One-X and Three Days Grace. In September 22, 2009 their newest album was released with the title Life Starts Now.



LIFE STARTS NOW
Recorded in The Warehouse Studio, Vancouver British Columbia, and Los Angeles with producers Howard Benson who they have worked with thwm before. Critics as well as band members have noted the album's departure from the angry tone of the band's previous releases into a lyrical style that comes off as more optimistic.[25] According to guitarist Barry Stock, the album's theme centers around "a new sense of freshness" and the idea that "you don't have to be stuck in whatever it is you're dealing with. Whether it's good or bad, it's your choice to make a change.


Life Starts Now debuted at number three on the Billboard 200, Three Days Grace's highest chart position, and sold 79,000 copies in its first week. The album was met with mixed reviews. Ben Rayner of the Toronto Star gave the album a negative review, saying it possesses "no sound of its own, just a shallow range between Nickelback and Linkin Park". According to Allmusic reviewer James Christopher Monger, who gave the album three out of five stars, Life Stars Now continues the theme of One-X, Gontier's personal demons, but with a "hint of sunlight". He compliments the album, saying it "treats the well-worn metal themes of anger, isolation, heartache, and redemption with the kind of begrudging respect they deserve, pumping out a competent flurry of fist-bump anthems and world-weary, midtempo rockers".
