In early 2008, they toured alongside Seether and Breaking Benjamin across the US. Three Days Grace toured the US and Canada throughout the second half of 2006 and all of 2007 in support of One-X. One-X was certified platinum by the RIAA in the US on August 30, 2007, and double platinum by the CRIA in Canada in July 2007. Its first single, " Animal I Have Become ", was Three Days Grace's most successful, becoming 2006's most played rock song in Canada, and the album helped propel Three Days Grace to become the number one rock artist in airplay in the US and Canada in 2007, with Billboard ranking them as the number one rock artist of the year in 2007. One-X peaked at number two on the Canadian album chart and at number five on the Billboard 200, selling 78,000 copies in the US in its first week of release. Apar pointed out that Three Days Grace is "hardly innovative" in their approach to writing music and that "further distinctive qualities" would help the band separate itself "from their alt-metal peers". The album did receive some negative criticism. The Toronto Star complimented the album with a review title of "One CD worth buying." and focused on its lyrics, saying, "The lyrics really speak out to you, especially if you're going through a tough time in your life." Allmusic reviewer Corey Apar praised the music, saying it "remains catchy despite its lyrical darkness". One-X was met with generally mixed reviews. The album, titled One-X, was then released on June 13, 2006, and was guitarist Barry Stock's recorded debut. In a 2006 interview, Gontier said that the album's material was more personal to him than the band's previous work because the material had come out of his experiences with despondence, drug abuse, and rehab that had constituted the past two years of his life.
