3 Doors Down | The Better Life

CD, Universal

Tekst: Norbert Pek

Publicatiedatum: 24 oktober 2000

I still wonder why people still accept these shit bands from the USA. It is all the same. First there is the hit single: in this case 'Kryptonite'. And people will know the band name: 3 Doors Down. The song is catchy but so very attempted and decent. Produced and produced: Don't take any risks because people won't buy it anymore. Guitars used to make it sound like a cool band: that's the concept. Just like the rest of the album is a concept. Less catchy than the hit single because that's what the whole band is based on. Impossible to make a song that's quite the same. The young 3 Doors Down members and their marketing team decided to put ten of these additional songs on the album. Very smooth, sometimes a ballad and sometimes another rock song. Just like Creed. Just like Fastball. Just like Smash Mouth. Just like Matchbox 20. No thought about any experiment. Originality? That's for losers. Because this will bring 3 Doors Down the success they wanted. Big in the USA, known in the rest of the world. But also forgotten and replaced in a few years. Winner: the major. Loser: the audience, as ever.
