Loaded with lyrics about nightmares, pain, isolation and broken relationships, One X, the sophomore effort from Three Days Grace should be a downright bummer of a ride. Instead, the listener manages to find uplift lurking beneath the weighty lyrics as the quartet churns out a series of anthemic, crunch-chord songs. The band moves from arena-ready light metal with "It's All Over" to the sex groove of "Animal I Have Become," before plunging the listener into full-on chaotic heaviness during the anti-alienation anthem "Riot" and easing us into the atmospheric future hit "Get Out Alive." Throughout, TDG remains true to its core alt-metal sound. While that sound has been called unimaginative and unoriginal and at times does feel a little too familiar, the material on One X is never less than convincing and it packs a serious and stinging rock `n' roll punch track after track. --Jedd Beaudoin

 THIS CD ROCKS!!!! June 16, 2006

I was driving to an electronic store to get my camera fixed. On the way, I hear a comercial on the radio for this CD. I hear that one of its tracks is "Animal I have Become", which I have heard before and loved. While I was at the store, I decided to check the CD out. Most of the time, I buy CDs for just one of its songs, so I decided to buy it while I was there. Although I mainly only bought it for "Animal I have become", I decided to check all the other songs first. As soon as I heard the, I loved them. I only got the CD 2 days ago and I have heard every track almost 10 times.
1. It's All Over 5/5- A great opening song. Really powerful and moving.
2. Pain 4.5/5- good song, it does take a few moments before the song really kicks in.
3. Animal I Have Become- Awesome track. Very catchy tune and lyrics. Buy the CD for this song.
4. Never too Late 5/5. Another great powerful moving song. It is something I myself can relate to and others guys I know.
5. On My Own 4/5- Althoug its is one of the my lesser favorites, I still enjoy listing to it.
6. Riot 4.5/5- Very catchy and loud. This sing really kicks in quickly.
7. Get out alive 4.5/5- a little slow but still a really awesome song.
8. Let it Die 5/5- Another very powerful moving song. This song helps me connects with real issues I have experienced.
9. Over and Over 5/5- Another great memorable song. One of my favorites.
10. Time of Dying 5/5- I feel like crying when I hear this song. It really does help me remember a time in my lie when I needed help. Very powerful.
11. Gone Forever 4/5- A little slow but still good.
12. One-X 3.5- My least favorite but still enjoyable.
This is seriousely one awesome. If you love rock, you'll this Cd.
TDG Grow Into An Even Better Band June 13, 2006

It's been about three years since Three Days Grace last "graced" us with their debut album, an album which went on to spawn several hits such as "Just Like You" and "I Hate Everything About You." Despite it's cliches, it was still a solid album, and a worhty breakthrough. I always figured that on their next album, Three Days Grace would only get better -- and I was right. "One-X" is their second full-length album, and improves on every aspect. From the musicianship to the songwriting and the production, everything here is much more professional, more thought-out and most importantly, just better.
"One-X" is the kind of album a busy band on the road comes up with on their second effort. You've heard it all before, about the lonely road, the faceless people, the alcohol/drug abuse. These bases are most definitely covered here. The lead-off single "Animal I Have Become" -- a song about becoming the victim of your vices -- is the shining example. Despite the dark nature of the album and particular songs like "Pain" and "It's All Over," the album has quite a few bright spots, which the first album was especially lacking. "Time Of Dying" proudly proclaims "I will not die, I will survive" and likewise, softer tracks like "Never Too Late" and "On My Own" reinforce this message. However, my favorite song on the album is the obligatory anthem, "Riot." Built off of an old-school sounding metal riff, I could definitely see this song taking off as the next hit.
All in all, every song is a hit, really. I will definitely go as far as to say that this is better than the first album. "One-X" simply doesn't disappoint. For the fans of the debut, there is plenty of material on here that holds up. For those hoping to see some growth, Three Days Grace surely grow. Without a single weak link, "One-X" is just a perfect second album.
Hard, fist pumping rock for us knuckleheads August 10, 2006

Apparently word on the street is that only knuckleheads and jocks listen to bands like 3DG, Staind, Breaking Benjamin, etc. If so then count me in because all of the above bands make me put my fist up like no other can! I love fast hard rockin music as much as the next knucklehead and guess what, on their second album, 3DG deliver the goods yet again.
This and BB's "Phobia" are the latest hard rock albums that I've gotten lately and wow, these two are in constant rotation due to their ability to keep my fist in the air while also makin me put it down and just enjoy the softer parts. The album suffers in some parts, but for the most part it's all good. I know this is the worst review I've ever written but the songs explain themselves. One complaint is, that "Pain" should have been left off the album are been a hidden track or something because it doesn't really fit in the album very well. That's the weakest song on the album. How many copies of this album have the bonus track "Running Away"? I really like this song. Definitely the better one on the album. And what can I say, I love to turn up the volume on "Animal I Have Become" it's funky and rough, kinda like I love my women. Hahaha, just joshing ya guys. I do wish they hadn't changed their personal appearance but I'm glad their sound is the same and they still kick hard, unlike Papa Roach who is slowly going down the road of "slit-your-wrist wannabes" bands. DON'T GO TOWARDS THAT DIRECTION 3DG and BB, stay where you are, go back to the mohawks and stuff....ooh, Animal just came on pardon me while I blast it.
BUY THIS ALBUM EVERYBODY! It's good!!!
 Pleasing Sophomore Album August 7, 2006

With their second release, Three Days Grace prove that they will be a force to be reckoned with on the charts for some time. They are really a band for the masses, combining a harder alternative metal sound with memorable riffs and hooks, appealing to fans of harder rock as well as listeners who may be turned off by other metal bands. Adam Gontier's vocal is amazing here as usual, strident but always maintaining clarity. The production is polished, and there are at least five or six radio-ready tracks.
There really aren't any bad tracks here. A few I thought were merely average ("It's All Over", "Time Of Dying", "Gone Forever"), but these are balanced by the very good tracks ("Animal I Have Become", "Never Too Late", "Let It Die", "Over And Over").
None of this album would really be considered ground-breaking or innovative. However, that doesn't mean it is not an enjoyable listen for just about any rock fan.
Lets keep these 5 star ratings going.... June 13, 2006

This is an excellent sophomore album from TDG. I don't know why there saying its softer than the first, if anything its heavier than there last cd. There are a few soft songs on here but then again theres more heavy than soft songs like Pain, Riot, Animal I Have Become, It's All Over, Let It Die, and One X. I waited for 3 years for this disc to come out and the wait is definately worth it, even though they told me it was suppose to come out in 2005 that was a long year waiting for releases to come out. Well so far this is one of the better releases of 2006 other than RHCPS Stadium Arcadium that one is the best release of 2006 (so far). I just hope there third album doesn't take another 3 years to be released I don't think I'll be able to wait that long for something from Three Days Grace.
