★★★☆☆
I have never been a huge 3 Doors Down fan, but something about this album has really sparked a liking for their music. “Us and the Night” was released on March 11th and it has 11 songs. The band is known for their rock music with a dark sound, but this album has a twist to it! The music on this album has a pop vibe to it along with the rock sound they always have had. The song I enjoyed the most from this album is “Fell from the Moon.” It is the balled of the album and it is a very pretty piece. To me this song is a personal reflection about life and that the singer seems to have suddenly realized everything around him after being up on such a high time. “I fell to the earth below, And I heard everyone that I know, Well it's gonna be hard, And it's gonna leave scars, Somedays were born to lose, Today, I fell from the moon, I don't know how to get back, Or how to make up for all that I lack, But I'm gonna get there and I'm not gonna be scared, I got so much to prove, Today, I fell from the moon”. Those are just some of the lyrics from the song and they are very powerful and very deep. The song I wasn’t huge on would have to be “Still Alive”. It just is the old sound that I am not a huge fan about but at the same time it is still a powerful song and it flows with the rest of the album. “Us and the Night” is a very reflective album and I highly recommend it to any fan of 3 Doors Down or anyone who is looking for some new music to check out.
