Three Days Grace enjoyed their best debut yet as Life Starts Now reached Number Three.

Filter are back!
Well, to be honest, Filter came back from the dead last year, when they released an album called Anthem For The Damned. It was their first disc since 2002′s The Amalgamut.
Now Filter have covered The Turtles’ “Happy Together” for The Stepfather soundtrack, and you can hear their version of the track on their MySpace page. The soundtrack comes out Oct. 13.
Filter have teamed up with producer Bob Marlette (Ozzy Osbourne, Saliva), who’ll be working on the next Filter album. It should be out sometime next year. It doesn’t have a title or release date yet.
Filter put out a greatest hits collection, The Very Best Things (1995-2008), earlier this year.
