"When I'm Gone" is a hard-edged guitar rock that fits the aforementioned radio format like a glove. The title track is a rock ballad ala Creed, but again with decent vocals. The truth is, it's a great song with pop crossover appeal. "Ticket to Heaven" has some twangy, almost Americana sounding guitars in the verse but jumps right into the trademark Three Doors Down power chorus. "Running out of Days" is a song Pearl Jam fans would love and "Here Without You" is a slow tune tailor-made for all of those summer romances put on hold as everyone goes back to school. "Changes" is another power ballad that has an almost dated sound, like it could easily have been performed by Poison or Warrant. "Going Down in Flames" just flat-out rocks and "Sarah Yellin'" is a guitar-riff driven piece that again brings to mind 1980s metal. Three Doors Down sounds like they could write radio-friendly songs in their sleep, and that's really saying something these days. Their melodies will stick in your head for days. Okay, sometimes they are musically dated and sometimes they sound like Creed, but give them credit for finding a formula that works. And if hearing Three Doors Down conjures up images of chicks in bikinis, it's all good. ~Mike Farley mfarley@bullz-eye.com
