“Life Starts Now” is the third studio album from Three Days Grace. “Life Starts Now” expresses a lighter lyrical mood compared to the band's previous album, presenting 12 slabs of the kind of reliable, accessible and serviceable hard rock that will always have an audience. “Life Starts Now” treats the well-worn metal themes of anger, isolation, heartache, and redemption with the kind of begrudging respect they deserve, pumping out a competent flurry of fist-bump anthems (‘Break’, ‘Bully’) and world-weary, mid-tempo rockers (‘World So Cold’, ‘Last to Know’).
