The bass is the only thing that truly bothers me on this album.
The guitar riffs are a bit mediocre at times, but for the most part they tend to keep the pace of the album up. If anything is wrong with this album, it’s the fact that it doesn’t have a true ballad, but then again what’s wrong with 12 tracks of hard hitting, in you face rock anyway?Īdam’s voice has matured and his lyrics have come to fruition. Songs like “Let it Die” and the title track “One-X”, and a little bit lighter than the rest of the album, but still have hard hitting chorus and bridge riffs. As for the ballad of the album…wait there really is no ballad on the album. “Riot” and “Get Out Alive” are also some of the more brooding tracks on the album, with their moderately paced guitar riffs and heavy low end. The first single off the album, “Animal I Have Become”, is one of the heavier tracks on the album with its heavily distorted sound and dark lyrics. The production value of this album is also a step above where their debut was the volume on the guitars was turned slightly up, and the bass is audible on all tracks.Īnd now for what you guys really want to know…how are the songs? From the time the album starts to the time it ends there is an eminent dark sound that is present in every song, while still avoiding the metal and emo genres, even though One-X does have its share of hard hitters. Quite a few things have improved over the last album the vocals, as well as Adam’s voice have matured, and the riffs are more hard hitting throughout the album. This is not to say however that the album is bad or even mildly boring, it’s actually very well put together. In all honesty, many of these songs could have very well been on their debut album, the song structures and overall sounds are truly that similar. One-X follows the same blueprint as Three Days Grace’s debut album: dark brooding vocals, a blend of heavily distorted and acoustic guitars, and simple drum and bass riffs.
#ANIMAL I HAVE BECOME ONE X HOW TO#
Although One-X is only the bands second major label release, they seem to have a grip on how to make some great hard rock songs without watering their sound down. In this day in age when rock bands seem to be coming and going almost as often as we catch Britney Spears doing something hilariously embarrassing (shaving her head, claims of being a lesbian, going commando, checking into rehab two times for a total of two days.marrying K-Fed, the list goes on) one band seems to be a step ahead of the rest, and that band is Three Days Grace. Review Summary: 3DG follow up their platinum selling first album with a more mature hard hitting second album.
