Line #2 YMMV/ThreeDaysGrace


1	* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: Some think that Adam is singing "The High Road" about breaking up with the band.
2	* ContestedSequel: ''Transit of Venus'' is either their best album, or them selling out to mainstream pop. The album was hailed by critics as their best album yet, because they expanded their boundaries. Many fans disliked it because TheyChangedItNowItSucks
3	* CriticalDissonance:
4	** Like Music/{{Seether}}, they generally garner mixed reviews from music critics. However, among music fans, they're actually one of the more well-regarded post-grunge bands in existence.
5	** ''Transit of Venus'' was hailed by critics as their best album yet, because they expanded their boundaries. [[TheyChangedItNowItSucks Many fans disliked it for that same reason.]]
6	* EpicRiff: Just about all of their songs, though "Just Like You," "Pain," "Animal I Have Become," and "Break" stand out.
7	* FridgeBrilliance: "Pain" could be taken as either {{wangst}}y, vaguely masochistic or [[WordSaladLyrics Word Salad]]. Taken in the context of Adam's painkiller addiction, the lyric "I'd rather feel pain than nothing at all" takes on a new light...
8	* FriendlyFandoms: With the Music/BreakingBenjamin fanbase, as both have similar styles and are big FanVid bait.
9	* GrowingTheBeard:
10	** (Original lineup): ''One-X'' got a more positive reception than their first album, ''Three Days Grace''.
11	** (Post 2013 lineup): While ''Human'' got mixed reviews, ''Outsider'' was nearly universally praised as a return to form for the band.
12	* HarsherInHindsight: The last single "The High Road" is about looking for a way out which was followed by Gontier quitting the band, especially if you think of it as Adam singing it to the other members
13	* MemeticMutation: "I can't talk right now, I'm making PISS!"[[labelnote:Explanation]]Around early 2021, a [=TikTok=] user "gregglz" started uploading videos of himself quickly drinking large quantities of liquids set to the chorus of "Animal I Have Become", usually preceded by him saying the phrase and putting on comically small sunglasses.[[/labelnote]]
14	* {{Narm}}:
15	** Some songs during Adam Gontier's time with the band can come across as this due to his habit of SuddenlyShouting his lyrics in [[PunctuatedForEmphasis an emphatic manner]] during parts of the song, usually the chorus. It's most prevalent in their earlier works, but you can find examples of it even on ''Life Starts Now''.
16	** Not that the Matt Walst era doesn't have its moments.
17	-->[[{{Wangst}} I am an outsider, I don't care about the in-crowd, no! I'm better off on my own now!]]
18	* ReplacementScrappy: Brad's brother Matt Walst, singer for My Darkest Days, received this reaction after it was announced he'd be filling in for vocal duties on the tours following Adam Gontier's resignation from the band. Despite his mixed reception in ''Human'', his performance in ''Outsider'' was widely praised, helping alleviate the fans' initial reaction.
19	* SignatureSong:
20	** "I Hate Everything About You", with "Animal I Have Become" offering a challenge to the title (they even finish some shows with it).
21	** "Pain" is another very popular song from them, being their highest-charting Hot 100 entry.
22	** "Never Too Late" could also be in the running considering it was a big pop hit.
23	** "Break" did fairly well on rock radio, and seems to be one of their most-liked songs in recent years.
24	** "Chalk Outline", which is to date their longest-running #1 on rock radio.
25	** "Painkiller" is well known, as it’s their debut with Matt Walst. "I Am Machine" counts too.
26	** "The Mountain," for the Matt Walst era. It did quite well on rock radio and was the lead single for ''Outsider''.
27	** "Better Place" for Saint Asonia, as it’s the band’s debut single.
28	* TearJerker:
29	** "Home" is about a dysfunctional homelife and abusive relationship.
30	** "Never Too Late" is about keeping hope whilst feeling suicidal.
31	** "Fallen Angel" becomes this once you know the meaning behind the song. It's meant to be about someone watching their loved one go through grief and try to hide it, with the song being inspired by drummer Neil Sanderson's mother grieving over the lost of her husband and one of her sons.
32	** "Lifetime" is about the regret and difficulty of losing a loved one. It especially hits harder when you view the music video of the song, dedicated to the people affected by the Mayfield tornado disaster in 2021.
33	%%** Adam Gontier's departure if you grew up with this band.
34	%%** "Last to Know".
35	%%* {{Wangst}}: Their early work, particularly "Drown".
