For instance - and just so there's no room for confusion - "Let It Die" frankly states "I swear I never meant to let it die/I just don't care about you anymore." And the forthright "Riot" ("Let's start a riot!") is one of a few riled-up outsider anthems on hand. The bandmembers still have no desire to mask sentiments behind perverse metaphors just as their 2003 smash single "I Hate Everything About You" addressed a problematic relationship in powerfully straight terms, so do tracks on One-X. The band's simple and direct approach owns a certain charm that makes One-X an enjoyable listen, albeit hardly innovative. Not surprisingly, the songs mostly revolve around feelings of isolation, tumultuous relationships, and anguished loneliness - but through all their misery and confusion, Three Days Grace ultimately embrace the difficulties as merely a part of being human ("I'd rather feel pain than nothing at all" from "Pain"). Thematically based around dealing with the disconnect felt while Three Days Grace were on the road in support of their 2003 album, the music remains catchy despite its lyrical darkness. Three Days Grace continue their accessible alt-metal attack of blunt lyrics and crunching rhythms with their sophomore effort, One-X.
