Outsider

Six albums in, Three Days Grace have honed their brand of electronically enhanced hard rock to a high-gloss shine. The Canadians' second record with My Darkest Days vocalist Matt Walst is packed with towering sing-along anthems like "Right Left Wrong," "The Mountain," and "I Am an Outsider," while lovelorn themes permeate the pulsing "Love Me or Leave Me" and the sweeping power ballad "Nothing to Lose but You." Elsewhere, "Strange Days" oozes with bulbous melodies and "Chasing the First Time" deals in thudding narcotic reverie.
