 Without a doubt, their best album, 2005-11-01
Okay, I tried to look past this, but I have to ask...what is UP with all the one-star reviews for this album? People are attesting that 3 Doors Down aren't really rock. What, just because you're not metal, you don't curse, and you have hit singles means you're not rock? (And just for the record, System of a Down's "B.Y.O.B." was a pop hit and people don't seem to have a problem with THAT.) Anyway, while The Better Life and Away From the Sun each had their moments of greatness, they still aren't as stellar as 3DD's latest, Seventeen Days.
One thing I noticed right away, though, is that there seems to be a band member increase per album. First there were three people in the band, then four; now it's five (and the CD doesn't have any liner notes, either). Oh, well; Brad still does a fine job singing over the musical backdrops, as evidenced by the lead single "Let Me Go". And "Never Will I Break" is a nice motivational song in the vein of "Duck and Run".
There were a few times where I wasn't sure if the songs were going to work, especially "Live For Today", which is borderline hardcore. But that song does work out well, as does "Here By Me", which initially sounded like it would be like "Here Without You", but instead it becomes it own song. Basically, Seventeen Days is one of the best albums I've heard in a while, and in the words of track 1, sitting here listening to it is right where I belong.
