Closer to 5 stars than 4
Rather than a track-by-track commentary, I’ll be brief.

This album is for the most part a very serious, rather complex work that has a lot of thought (and sounds) put into it.

“Take Back this City” and “Disaster button” are the two more poppy, college-radio-friendly songs on it. They sound very similar, with different lyrics but very reminiscent song structures. The rest I view as very intelligent adult alternative music.

Great to play on a good sound system with fairly high volume, since there are a number of extra, subtle sounds thrown in.

I think the first and last parts of “The Lightning Strike” are brilliant, with the middle being a very piano-heavy transition with some light, crunchy guitar, synthesizer, and interesting drumming (or is it more keyboard) added. So, the first part builds up, transitions to a mellower part that also builds up, and then finished with a very layered segment with (I believe) overdubbed vocals and a steady beat.

A note to fans of Eric Matthews (who had a big alt-hit “Fanfare” in the 90’s), much of the vocals and some of the music reminds me of his.

I also hear elements of Mercury Rev in this.

Very mature, thoughtful album not for fans of simple music.

No track 11?
During the download, I didn’t get track 11. When I called customer support, I was told I needed to purchase that song for an additional charge.

Fresh & Heavy on the Piano
I haven’t been a huge fan of Snow Patrol, but this album is a breath of fresh air. This is what the new Keane album should have sounded like!

great song
Light On-Great song from a great singer. In a few years time it will become a classic rock!

Welcome to those who are just meeting David Cook
Love, love, love this song.

What I have loved about David Cook from the beginning is that his voice has great range – there is no aspect of it that has to be “covered up” by production. I have been listening to his songs, including those on Analog Heart, since early this spring and I assure you this man can sing anything. (Listen to his studio version of The Music of the Night if you doubt it.)

This new song should attract the kind of fans who are generally drawn to this type of music, while not turning off the fans who have flocked to him since they heard his own “power ballad” version of Hello (Lionel Ritchie). For those of you who are just meeting him for the first time, you will find that he is not only a talented singer but also an amazingly creative and articulate songwriter – not to mention a genuinely nice man.

New song, I like it!
I do like this song a lot! One of the songs I play a lot. The other song I like a lot right now if you click see my other reviews you can see my review on that song (The Warehouse Band). They are new on myspace, like em a lot. If you like this song, definitely look into it.

Fans of Hinder, Breaking Benjamin, Crossfade, Popa Roach, Seether, Trapt, and Audioslave, will want to add Three Days Grace self titled album to their playlist and their collection…Three Days Grace In a word, “Awesome”! Check them out at Lastfm!

Another Great CD
This is another great CD which I truely enjoy listening to every track and don’t have to waste time skipping some tracks that are not very enjoyable.

One of my favorite rock albums.
You know how many times you go to a concert to see a certain band/musician play and you really just want to get through the opening acts to get to the real deal? And you know how sometimes you’ll be half listening to an opening act and on the rare occasion you end up actually liking the opening act? Well that was the case a couple years ago when I saw Three Days Grace open for one of my favorite bands. The day after the concert, I bought this album.

Here’s a list of songs on the album as well as my rating for each song:

Burn-3.5/5
Just Like You-3.5/5
I Hate Everything About You-4.5/5
Home-4/5
Scared-4/5
Let You Down-3/5
Now or Never-3.5/5
Born Like This-3/5
Drown-3.5/5
Wake Up-4.5/5
Take Me Under-3/5
Overrated-3.5/5

Whether you’re a casual fan, a big fan, or just a lover of good music, this album is one that you’ll be playing constantly and for quite some time. I became a lover of the band shortly after “Just Like You”, the band’s second single was released. Although “Just Like You” is a good song, their other singles “I Hate Everything About You” and “Home” truly portray what I think the band is all about-catchy choruses and absolutely stunning guitar work.

In terms of lyrics, I like that it’s not completely clear what the songs mean. There are a few (most notably “Wake Up” and “I Hate Everything About You”) that suggest much of their songs are about a dysfunctional relationship. However, most of their songs allow the listener to interpret the lyrics as they see fit.

Kicking off the album is “Burn”, an accurate portrayal of what the rest of the album sounds like. With its thunderous intro and extended ending, “Burn” is an excellent opener for an excellent album.

From there we go to the three singles (as previously mentioned). All three are great songs but “I Hate…” is one of my favorites on the album. Something about the harmonized chorus and powerful words make me skip straight to it everytime I play this CD.

A few of my favorite songs on this album are up next. “Scared”’s kicking guitar intro and Adam’s shouting are a perfect blend for this song. “Now or Never” is strong with its deep lyrics. And “Wake Up”, probably the softest sounding song (although the acoustic intro is the only reason why it’s “soft”). Next to “I Hate” and “Scared”, “Wake Up” is one of my absolute favorites.

The only lowlights on this album are “Let You Down” and “Take Me Under”. “Let You Down” isn’t horrible but compared to the other songs on the album, it’s certainly not that great either. “Take Me Under” is too “light” for my taste but, again, it’s not a horrible song.

Ending the album are three more good songs. “Born Like This” is creepy in a really good way. Its constantly changing rhythms and loads of bass make it a winner. “Drown” is one of the deeper songs on the album and its chorus is excitingly catchy. And lastly, “Overrated” is the angriest song and it’s also definitely one that you must blast in order to appreciate.

Would I recommend this album? If you like hard rock mixed with awesome lyrics and extremely catchy guitar work, this self-titled album is a must have.
