Riot got old though...fast. Funny you say that, that might be my favourite 3DG single. I didn't mind it til radio played it so much. The repetitiveness just got monotonous after awhile.

You're just upset that Three Days Grace is more popular than BB aren't you. xD Oh completely, absolutely racked with jealousy. I think TDG is ten times better, actually. No one's perfect. I enjoy their singles enough, but rarely do I hear an album track worth listening to. "Never too Late" was their best album track, then it was released as a single. Other than "Drown," everything else seems like filler. EDIT: I'll give you "One-X" as well, but nothing else really comes to mind immediately. I was only teasing about the first part by the way. Have you listened to Over and Over? Burn? On My Own? Scared? (Correct me If I'm wrong, I don't really know the songs that were singles from the first record). I guess that's where we differ. The only things from BB that I find interesting are the singles. Riot has always been my favorite 3DG song btw. I recently started learning it on real guitar too, so I've been into it even more.

Ah, "Over and Over," that one is quite good actually. I have both records, and "Burn" is ok as well, but I don't really like "Scared" or especially "On My Own."
Revisiting their library, the only songs I liked from the debut were IHEAY, "Just Like You (repetive riff aside)," "Home," "Drown," and "Take Me Under." Like I said, "Burn" is decent though.
From One-X: "Animal," "Never Too Late," "One-X," "Over and Over," and "Gone Forever."
The rest from One-X is pretty much garbage IMO, I'll never understand why they played "Get Out Alive" so much in their live show, it's probably my least favorite of theirs. The remainder of the debut is mostly decent, however.

Changed my mind, my favourite has gotta be the underrated gem that is "Home". I love that one.

I actually learned the whole thing on guitar when I first got the album, then I got sick of it. My drummer still loves the song and I have to play it now and then to appease him, lol. It's much more fun to play than it is to listen to.

Never got the appeal really. And about Riot - that's interesting haha. I like the whole Drop C tuning cuz I can play Riot and then play Downfall of Us All by A Day To Remember right afterwards I've only been playing for a little over half a year now though, but I guess I've been told I sound decent for having only been playing that long.

I had just gotten One-X when I first started playing guitar, "Never too Late" was the first song I learned to play all the way through cause it was so simple, lol. I was trying to play Breaking Benjamin stuff (which is also very easy, just not quite that easy), and wasn't having much luck so I gave 3DG a try. The riff on "Just Like You" is ridiculously simple, but when you play it you realize just how repetitive it is haha.

I don't really care a lot for any of the singles on the first 3DG album. I do sort of enjoy the stuff from their second, though. I didn't really hear "Pain" a lot at the time (due to barely-listenable radio here) but I think I like that one the best from them.

I remember just learning the intro to Never Too Late for fun, I haven't really taken the time to learn anything else by them really. I think a fun would to learn would be Until the End by BB haha. That's my favorite song by them.

I could be adjective I could be adjective You know I could be just like you Though I agree with you, when I read that I couldn't help but think of this: I will not verb I will not verb I will shut the world away But yeah, at least it's not as repetitive as the former.

what does it matter if its repetitive? If that's what makes it catchy than so be it, like wow. Just Like You is a terrific song, and if it wasn't repetitive like it is then I have no clue how it would even work, and it just would not make sense

I liked Three Days Grace's first album, but their second one to me was hands down better. Besides "Never Too Late" I didn't think the other singles were anything spectacular, but all the albums tracks I find to be awesome.

One-X is a fantastic album from beginning to close. "It's All Over", "Gone Forever", "Over And Over" and "One-X" are all great album cuts. Although Phobia had better singles, the album cuts weren't as strong, though "Had Enough" and "Dance With The Devil" are both strong. In all, I view both bands as very similar, BB has been more consistent over their career (the first TDG album wasn't so hot) but One-X is the finest work either band has put out to date.

Of both bands albums:
1. One-X 2. Phobia 3. 3DG 4. We Are Not Alone
Only know a few songs of the Saturate album, so I won't rank it.
Also as of now this is my second least favorite BB single, after Skin. Big disappointment to me.

1. Phobia 2. Saturate 3. We Are Not Alone 4. Three Days Grace 5. One-X
I'm such a benhead.
I think I'd really enjoy this song if it were the second single, it falls right in the middle if I were to rate their 10 singles.
1. Breath 2. The Diary of Jane 3. So Cold 4. Until the End 5. I Will Not Bow 6. Sooner or Later 7. Medicate 8. Rain 2005 9. Polyamorous 10. Skin

So Cold is severely overrated, Sooner or Later is equally under appreciated.
