Product Reviews
Hiring producer Howard Benson, best known for helming heavier acts, for 2011 s Time of My Life is a suggestion that 3 Doors Down realized their eponymous 2008 album was a little anonymous. To be sure, Benson does pump up the guitars, but there s no fighting the encroaching middle age of 3 Doors Down and, with it, a certain slowing of the band s pace and mellowing of its outlook. Time of My Life doesn t dwell on pain and alienation the way previous albums did; there s heartbreak and loss, the lyrics often referencing the splintering of a long-term relationship, but Brad Arnold and company seem settled, comfortable where they are and where they re going. Without a churning undertow of angst, 3 Doors Down wind up sounding deliberately anthemic. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Rovi
Product Notes
2011 album from the Mississippi Hard Rock heroes. Time Of My Life is an exhilarating, pivotal album from a band bred to exceed expectations every time they step in to the studio. Aptly titled, 3 Doors Down's fifth career studio effort soars on the collective ethos of a dedicated band doing what they were destined to do. It's precisely the intersecting nature of each member's contribution that resonates the most on Time Of My Life; the relative ease with which this band, full-tilt into the middle of its second decade, methodically keeps it's working parts in order.
