6? Do you mean singles because this marks their 8th one, and 7th in the U.S. Oh yeah, 7. For some reason, I was forgetting about "Never Too Late," which is ironically my favorite one. I'm not a big Three Days Grace fan, and even for them, this is pretty ehhhhh relative to their others. The only songs of theirs I've really liked are "Home" and "Never Too Late" and I liked the verses in "I hate Everything About You" and "Pain" but not the choruses. "Riot," "Animal I Have Become" and "Just Like You" really don't do it for me, "Just Like You" especially. I could be _____(adjective), I could be ______(adjective), you know I could be just like you. And the riff gets old very quickly. They're definitely my least favorite of the post-grunge power trio that is 3DG, Seether, and Breaking Benjamin. I agree with just about everything you said to a T, except I give "IHEAY" a free pass. (Though I definitely hated it when it first came out.) Also, They are easily my favorite of the three bands you mentioned. (Seether 2nd and BB last.)

"I Hate Everything About You" is still at the top of the list for me, even after hating it at first due to principle and its flashes of incompetence akin to Theory of a Deadman (and hearing it first as a Can-Con track didn't help at all). But there's just so many individual bits and pieces of that song that I can't resist. It's a guilty pleasure, but that's fine. "Never Too Late" is the closest they've come to making a quality track. Still, their music has never been anything for me to get excited about, and their songs going for adds are usually met with a sigh of "here we go...". I don't see that changing.

I'm glad i actually like this band and straight up rock in general because I'd hate to constantly be sad with musical releases. I could care less if these guys(or anyone for that matter) is the best at the "technical" side. I just want music I can stand listening to, sing along with and at the end of the day, enjoy. Though this song wasnt really up to my listening standards , which admittedly arent real high for all music. I probably havent listened to it all the way through more than 5 times.

I loved the riff in "Just Like You"; it was catchy yet a bit repetitive. It was a welcome breather from "(I Hate) Everything About You", which I felt was just generic overall. (Oh, let's end it with "I - Hate - You - Hate - I - Hate - You Love Me" twice. Voila! Come on, I'm not asking for world-changing lyrics, but Adam & Co., you have to devise something better than that.)
My favorite single of theirs, overall, is "Animal I Have Become" (as it peaked at #2, I believe, on my personal chart). Three Days Grace are one of those bands somewhat riding the coattails of metallic post-grunge, and yet they are innovative enough to really keep me interested with their singles (unlike a band like Saving Abel, whose second single I'm sure will disappoint...sorry Saving Abel fans). Among all their U.S. singles:
1. Animal I Have Become 2. Just Like You 3. Pain 4. Never Too Late 5. Home 6. Riot 7. (I Hate) Everything About You
However, I agree that this is a basic filler song. Nothing wrong with filler, as long as it doesn't comprise most of an album and never gets released. I still find this unavailable over at AllAccess. Is it because it never officially went for adds?

Im not 100% sure, but I dont think it went for adds, now that I think about it, which isnt all that surprising. I mean really, the album has done about as well as its going to do and now its time to hit the studio and put something out. It feels so long since Animal, I Have Become, that it feels like it was on the last album.
