Data Insight
Time of My Life is again band-written, but it hands production to Howard Benson, a change from Johnny K that gives the album a glossier hard-rock sheen. Led by the single "When You're Young," it debuted at No. 3 but sold well below the band's early-2000s peak. It was the last 3 Doors Down album recorded with founding bassist Todd Harrell before his 2013 departure.
