THIS CD ROCKS!!!!, June 15, 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 9, 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!!!
