Ils y ont vendus plusieurs millions d'albums, le dernier « Got You Six » a été N°2 dès sa sortie (500 000 exemplaires écoulés). D'autres pays (N°3 Finlande,N°3 Canada ,N° 5 Allemagne et Suisse) ont succombé à leur Heavy Métal parfois trash mais non dénué de finesse ( comme ici le très beau « Gone Away » cover de The Offspring). C'est bien fait et assez mélodique comme « Wash It all Away » , »Wrong Side Of Heaven » ou » « I Apologize », Malgré quelques poussées « métalcore » du chanteur Ivan Moody l'ensemble se laisse très bien écouter grâce à une belle richesse des compositions. Les « The Bleeding », l'inédit« Trouble » en sont la parfaite illustration heavy mais avec une bonne trame mélodique, les « Remember Everything », »Battle Born » me font penser à du très bon Nickelback. La power ballade « Far from Home »est particulièrement réussie. Un Excellent best of pour un très bon groupe . Ce « Decade of Destruction » est rentré dans pas mal de charts : USA N° 29 Suède N°45,Canada N°30,Allemagne N°36,Australie N° 30, Autriche N° 52.

  • Doug Hoekstra Press Quotes
    Doug Hoekstra Press Quotes More blurbs than you’ll ever need, not quite complete, but still ridiculous and here for those who like to go all in… Blooming Roses – (US & UK Release 2008) “…The literary album has withered into a state of permanent dialysis. But cerebral Southern folkie Doug Hoekstra’s recently released Blooming Roses is the light side of the moon. It’s packed with frisky Muscle Shoals rhythms, gospel-tinged harmonies and helpings of near-whisper swoon. The songs themselves hang on nylon strings and lost regrets...” (Joey Hood, Nikki Style, May/June 2008) “…every songs gets its own appropriate approach and this brings about a great diversity in timbre. From modest songs as 'Instinct' to exuberant rocking tracks as 'Part Of The Problem, Part Of The Solution', every song on this album is a real pearl…a small masterpiece.” (Jos Berg voor, Platomania April 2008 Netherlands) “Doug Hoekstra is a singer-songwriter. Strike that; reverse it. He’s more of a songwriter-singer, crafting immensely detailed vignettes that are pure Americana and pairing them with subtly earnest arrangements, giving him a signature style….his latest release, Blooming Roses,’ is a cache of gritty, nuanced tales tackling the horrors and pleasures of life…” (Kyle Koster, Chicago Sun-Times, April 2008) “Possessing an intimate vocal style that evokes early (pre-"Transformer") Lou Reed, a hard-earned gift for storytelling (he's published award-winning short stories, essays and non-fiction), a gently twisted sense of humor and an adventurous, stylistically diverse approach to music that ranges from Harry Nilsson-esque parlor pop to folk to velvety, underground rock 'n 'roll, Nashville-based Doug Hoekstra has it all goin' on.
