Around The Groove: THREE DAYS GRACE "self titled" Vinyl Metallic Colored

Today we have a vinyl to share and that would be alternative metal rock band Three Days Grace's self titled debut album pressed in the metallic color variant. I picked this beauty up at a FYE right outside of Philadelphia. It is pressed in 150g of metallic colored vinyl and really does sound great. Normally I find that a lot of colored vinyl pressed is 140g and black vinyl is 180g. I find that without a slip mat the lighter records won't always play as good because they tend to skip or bounce grooves on the first song on each side of the record. Well lets get back to the album. In the sleeve you get the vinyl with a two sided lyric sheet that also is the inner sleeve for the vinyl. This is their first album and I bet a lot of you remember this album or at least most of the songs by heart and I will share one with you after we look at the vinyl and its packaging. These guys were just a trio at the time of this debut. Three Days Grace inked the deal with Jive Records before this album sending them a song from their demo tape titled "I Hate Everything About You". We all remember that track and if you don't....well go gain that knowledge. Jive Records was a label under RCA Records but unfortunately in 2011 they ceased operations, but Three Days Grace were moved to the RCA label itself and are still signed with them today. I imagine most of you know but if you didn't, the original lead vocalist, Adam Gontier left the band in 2013. He is now the front man of Saint Asonia, check them out too. He was replaced by the bassist's brother, Matt Walst from My Darkest Days. Well lets take a look at this album on vinyl and then listen to a goodie from the tracklist!
