Away From the Sun by 3 Doors Down
Away From the Sun is an album by 3 Doors Down, released in 2002. 4 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 64 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “When I'm Gone”, on 42 lists with a best position of #2.
Away from the Sun, 3 Doors Down's second album, came out on Universal on November 12, 2002, and it's the band from Escatawpa, Mississippi doubling down on the formula that made The Better Life a smash. Brad Arnold sings, Matt Roberts plays lead guitar, Todd Harrell plays bass and Chris Henderson holds down rhythm guitar.
This is sturdy, earnest post-grunge: chunky, mid-tempo riffs, big clean choruses and Arnold's husky Southern ache right up front. "When I'm Gone" and "Here Without You" both cracked the top five of the Hot 100, and the title track made it three Hot 100 entries from the album. The album debuted at number eight on the Billboard 200 and was certified quadruple platinum on August 4, 2006.
