As long as you’ll be my friend at the end: 3 Doors Down’s The Better Life turns 20 years young.
The first great rock album of the 21st Century was brought to us by four young Mississippi musicians, who managed to capture lightening in a bottle while the music industry was at a crossroads.
From the explosive, anthemic vulnerability of the No. 1 Mainstream Rock track “Kryptonite” to the sinister warning shot of “Loser” and working-class lament of “Duck and Run”, The Better Life reminded us all that connecting with the power of great music can bring people together in ways other artforms simply cannot.
In celebration of the 20th anniversary of this 7x platinum and timeless record, it will now be available in a 3LP collector’s box set. It will include: the original album on a 2LP, a 1LP of the band’s early sessions in Escatawpa and exclusive liner notes.
