3 Doors Down
Away From The Sun

THE REVIEW

It's November 2002, and 3 Doors Down release their new album "Away From The Sun", an album that expresses a pop-rock style akin to Puddle Of Mudd. Their sound is updated by extensive use of decentralized electric guitars and a drum set that dictates stops and pickups with sudden changes in tempo.

Surely they cannot be attributed too much originality since their genre was created, divided, analyzed, broken, changed, and influenced long before they were born. However, they still carry forward a style that connects to the fervor produced by young rockers of the new millennium.

3 Doors Down definitely do not have a strong album behind them, nor have they made any in the future, but this CD is worth listening to for a series of songs that float in the room like the melancholic songs of Tasso. Much like in "Aminta," there is the young shepherd boy infatuated with a nymph to whom he cannot declare himself.

This CD contains many tracks of good workmanship and, above all, great interpretive character, as in their most renowned song "Here Without You," which emphasizes a girl no longer in the singer's life. An atmosphere laden with meanings emerges, touching on the sentimental level.
Also beautiful is "This Time," melancholic, dispersive, psychedelic, and very technical. "Changes," with its sudden tempo changes, allows us to perceive the high technical baggage the group has, built up from a lot of experience in the musical field. "Ticket To Heaven" is emblematic of the group as it showcases all the group's characteristics, unfortunately including some negative ones like rhythmic inaccuracies, possibly due to an overly sought melodicity.

A CD symbolic of the time that has passed, of when we complained about new age rock... Now instead we find ourselves listening on television to groups trying to break through with pub songs in which they hardly expose themselves to avoid causing too much damage... at least back then, they played with their cards on the table...

ded to: those who wrote that sexyajax kisses ass... because it means they really didn't understand a damn thing... nice
