Us and the Night is a sleek, energetic and utterly electric album that sees 3 Doors Down incorporating new sounds and ideas into their brawny hard rock. Flaunting a dance beat and synthesisers, the anthemic “The Broken” will dazzle longtime fans. Ditto for “In the Dark", a nasty funk jam featuring intensely jagged riff-work. Though “Living in Your Hell” is more straight-ahead rawk, it’s shot through with power pop melodicism that serves as further proof of 3 Doors Down’s ability to challenge both themselves and their audience.
