If you were alive and even
semi-conscious in the year 2000, you
undoubtedly heard "Kryptonite" by 3 Doors
Down. It was inescapable. The song and
the debut album from which it leapt,
The Better Life, defied the laws of
gravity. Both clung to the top of any
given chart--album, singles,
multi-format radio--for most of that year
and beyond. "Kryptonite," in more ways
than one, was like the dude Brad Arnold
was singing about: Superman. The song
struck a huge literal and figurative chord
with the populace, a full year before
America truly needed a superhero. But
who knew that then? Two years, four #1
singles, a couple of world tours,
unprecedented radio success, multiple
big award nominations, and a bazillion
album sales later (alright, it shifted 6
million, but who's counting except the
RIAA?), 3 Doors Down were back in the
real-life Smallville that spawned the band
back in 1996--Escatawpa, Mississippi, a
mere hellhound's leap from the
crossroads where Robert Johnson sold

Produced by Rick Parashar (Alice in
Chains, Pearl Jam, Blind Melon), Away
From the Sun finds 3 Doors Down back
with a vengeance and ready to rock. Most
bands feel pressure to sidestep the
dreaded sophomore slump, the
expectations of the millions of
listeners who'd purchased the debut,
but Brad didn't have any worries. He
had compelling subject matter: All that
time spent on the road. "A lot of the
lyrics on Away From The Sun are about
loneliness," admits Brad. "On tour, you
really have nothing but time on your
hands. I was feeding off those feelings of
isolation. With these songs, I wanted to
convey to the listener that he or she
is not alone--there are a lot of
people who feel the same way." "The
band has grown a lot on the road," he
adds. "Our sound is different now," says
Matt. " The music has grown. In one
word, it's better." One listen to the
first single, "When I'm Gone" and you'll

The albums title track, which Chris
calls "our masterpiece" mixes one of
the best air guitar chords in recent
memory with dead-on lyrics about longing
and how Now and then [you] find yourself
so far down away from the sun. On
"Running out of Days" and "Ticket to
Heaven" the guitars and bass surround
questions of fame and its price on family
and friends. And "Here Without You" is
the best road weary travel tune to come
down the pike in a long while.

Away From the Sun continues 3 Doors
Downs evolution to rock band supreme.
"Dynamically, our sound is bigger," says
Chris. They've come a long way from
where they began but never strayed from
their original goal which was to "make
rock n' roll and good ol' American
