8. 3 Doors Down, Us and the Night

[Republic]

Metascore: 51

Yet another band who has “fizzled” over the years – just being honest. With only four submitted reviews, one outlier (Classic Rock Magazine) and three mixed reviews (AllMusic, Consequence of Sound, and Kerrang!) give Us and the Night a modest 51. Kerrang! delivers the best line: “These inoffensive songs will take up almost none of your mind’s capacity for thought or pleasure.” In other words, Kerrang! seems to think Us and the Night is blasé at best. Cue up Ty Dolla $ign!
