Us And The Night

In order to know where you're headed, you have to recognize where you're from. So when it came time to begin working on their sixth full-length album, Us And The Night, Grammy Award-nominated multiplatinum Mississippi rock band 3 Doors Down channeled a familiar feeling.

"We all missed the excitement of making our first album," says singer Brad Arnold. "As you continue creating records, it can become sort of mechanical, and you start taking everything too seriously. However, for Us And The Night, we were all on the same page about just wanting to have a good time in the studio. That created a great vibe. I don't think we've ever felt this unified as a band in our entire career. That's why the album sounds like it does."
