He\u2019s doing a great job, the fans really love him, he\u2019s a great frontman and he\u2019s just a great kid at heart. So surprisingly it was pretty seamless,\u201d said Brad Walst, the band\u2019s bassist. \u201cOur fans really embraced what we were doing and they understood that this was chapter of life and went along with it. We\u2019re very fortunate to have Matt around and very fortunate to have two number one singles with Matt, you know, its something I thought would never happen but it\u2019s pretty amazing and we definitely owe that to the fans. We\u2019re forever grateful for that, for sure. Matt\u2019s got a lot of energy live, you know, he\u2019s a little bit younger than us and he definitely makes us step it up a bit.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Produced by Gavin Brown (Three Days Grace\u2019s self-titled and a majority of One-X) the band revisited their old heavy sound that fans could easily recognize as the classic 3DG sound. From Barry Stock\u2019s very epic guitar riffs, heavy drum beats provided by Neil Sanderson, to Brad Walst\u2019s booming bass rhythms; all of these instrumentals screaming out the Three Days Grace style the beloved fans know added with Matt Walst\u2019s powerful, unique pipes.<\/p>\n<p>This perfectly mixed 12-track record is filled with catchy choruses and gloriously heavy sounds, each track giving off unique, indescribable sounds and all telling the different aspects of humankind. \u201cWe realized that after listening to the whole record that there was definitely a theme of struggle of being human, you know, there\u2019s a lot of human emotion in there and we\u2019ve had this idea for human race and machine and it just kind of all made sense to come up with the name Human. I think, sometimes, being human is not all what it\u2019s cracked up to be and I think this record definitely has a lot of emotion in it. I think it\u2019s probably one of the most emotional records we have, for sure,\u201d explains Walst about the concept behind the album\u2019s themes.<\/p>\n<p>Overall the album was brilliantly composed and shows that rock is far from dead. Some notable tracks off the record are \u201cHuman Race,\u201d \u201cPainkiller,\u201d \u201cFallen Angel,\u201d \u201cI Am Machine,\u201d \u201cSo What,\u201d \u201cNothing\u2019s Fair in Love &amp; War,\u201d \u201cThe End is Not the Answer,\u201d and \u201cThe Real You.\u201d <i>Human<\/i> will not disappoint the fans; Three Days Grace is just warming up.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"2577\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/theentertainmentoutlet.com\/?attachment_id=2577\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/theentertainmentoutlet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Album-Artwork.jpeg\" data-orig-size=\"600,597\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Three Days Grace &amp;#8211; Human\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/theentertainmentoutlet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Album-Artwork.jpeg\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-2577\" src=\"http:\/\/newenglandmusicblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Album-Artwork-300x298.jpeg\" alt=\"Three Days Grace - Human\" width=\"300\" height=\"298\" srcset=\"https:\/\/theentertainmentoutlet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Album-Artwork-300x298.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/theentertainmentoutlet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Album-Artwork.jpeg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><br \/>\n<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><b>Three Days Grace <\/b>&#8211; <i>Human<\/i><\/span><br \/>\n<i>1) Human Race<br \/>\n2) Painkiller<br \/>\n3) Fallen Angel<br \/>\n4) Landmine<br \/>\n5) Tell Me Why<br \/>\n6) I Am Machine<br \/>\n7) So What<br \/>\n8) Car Crash<br \/>\n9) Nothing&#8217;s Fair in Love &amp; War<br \/>\n10) One Too Many<br \/>\n11) The End Is Not The Answer<br \/>\n12) The Real You<\/i><\/p>\n<p><b>ALBUM RATING: 8.5\/10<\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Being human can be an emotional struggle.
