Does anyone actually listen to 3dd? I’ve picked up a few tracks lately—"loser," "when im gone"—and honestly, they’re pretty solid...

Yeah, sure, there's plenty of commercial fluff and nonsense involved, but whatever...

Yep!
I’ve got their "The Good Life" album and it’s actually pretty decent. 👍
They aren't my absolute favorites, but they're alright...

Yeah, sure, people call them commercial or whatever, but who cares?

What does being "commercial" even mean? I hate all that labeling. You either like the music or you don't! Or maybe you're somewhere in the middle!

I think their stuff is great. I love that specific sound. To me, "loser" is easily their best track—especially the acoustic version—even if "Kryptonite" was definitely more of a massive radio hit.

There's one line in there that always sticks with me:

If I go crazy
Than will you still call me Superman...

They’re honestly alright with me....
I’ve got both of their albums, and they’re actually pretty solid...

IMHO Away from the Sun is slightly better than The Good Life, even if they don't hit quite as hard on that one compared to Better Life...

but all things considered: they're an okay band... 👍 👍 👍

I just listened to "When I'm Gone" and man, what a track... the music is incredible, and honestly, the music video is a perfect 10. I can't really give you a deep dive critique, though... mostly because that’s pretty much all I've heard so far.

Yeah, that music video is absolute fire...
I mean, I honestly couldn't believe they went all out and put that much effort into a single video...
They're literally playing in the mud, buried up to their necks...it's freaking legendary... 👍

It’s good, though I prefer taking it in small doses...🙂 Any more than that and it becomes too much, since he knows how easily he can become a nuisance...😁

Listen, you should really check this out—I'm certain Kryptonite is going to be right up your alley... 😎

Well, I actually own both of their albums, and while they are enjoyable enough, as I mentioned before, the novelty tends to wear off pretty quickly...😁

Honestly... they seem to be doing more copying than actually creating anything new, but hey, it doesn't sound half bad!

Is this some kind of "Duck and Run" strategy?

The vocalist has an absolutely incredible range. I’ve been listening to them quite a bit lately; they're genuinely good.

I’ve got three Vald albums lying around or whatever, but honestly, I can’t be bothered to listen to them... it’s just too much effort dealing with that guy's voice, you know? Like, those super deep vocals just don't really vibe with rock for me, he needs to crank the pitch up, even if it's just a tiny bit
and Kryptonite is actually decent... though I still don't really get why everyone is so obsessed with them, it's like... nothing special really

I really loved that first album, where you have tracks like Loser and Duck and Run...
But honestly? That follow-up felt pretty lackluster to me...

They’re just too repetitive, and honestly, their songs all start sounding like the exact same track. I can wrap my head around the debut album, but those next two... (it's wild to think I was actually listening to them just a few years ago 😲 )

I’ve got their album *The Better Life*, and I guess my favorite track is Kryptonite, even if the music video is pretty terrible...

If anyone happens to have any intel on their upcoming tour dates—specifically shows they might be playing here in the States or maybe even nearby in Canada or Mexico—could you please drop the details below? Even just a helpful link would be great.

Thanks in advance. 🙂

I'm curious about what you guys think of their concerts...
But hey, since we're on the subject, Let me go, Live for today, and When I'm Gone are definitely up there among my favorites. 🙂

In October, they’re actually pretty close together—think somewhere near Switzerland or Germany—check this out.

I’m guessing you’ve got this thread linked to another one? If you look at the post dates, they definitely weren't replying to you!

And the topic
well, the topic
hmm
has a few decent tracks—maybe something like Duck and Run or Be Like That
. Kryptonite was such a massive hit, totally perfect for those teen dramas back in the day😁
.
uglavnom, their debut album felt really promising, but this later stuff? It just kind of misses the mark.

I’m assuming you’re looking at a merged thread; just check the post dates, those weren't even replying to you.

Kryptonite was a massive hit, totally gave off those teen drama vibes.😁

uglavnom, the first album felt promising, but this later stuff? Total garbage.


Thanks, I guess it shows I'm new to the forum since I didn't even bother checking the post dates.🙂
Yeah, I agree with you there—the first album is definitely the best, but the rest aren't *that* bad, come on... there are a few good songs in there.
