The song’s lyrics are rebellious in nature, like all great rock anthems. The seventh track on the album, “So What,” is fierce and on the verge of being a rock-n roll-anthem, which was likely the point. The song’s chorus comes off as catchy and odd as it cruises through a crescendo of intensity. “I Am Machine” was the second mainstream rock hit from the album, played about as frequent as “Painkiller” was. The song does offer a glimpse at the upper vocal range of Matt Walst and an easy to follow chorus and lyrical structure, but not much else. “Fallen Angel” is a slower song that seems hit ready, yet has not been released as a single. Seattle radio station KISW seems to play the song every two hours, and has been doing so since the single dropped in late 2014. The album then proceeds to the mainstream rock radio hit “Painkiller,” a fan favorite off of the album. It is hard to resist the urge to throw both fists in the air as the band belts out big backing vocals during the chorus.” The song is definitely a standout for the album. The guitar solo starts at the last third of the track and it is probably one of the better guitar solos of all of the mainstream rock bands today. Matt Walst’s vocals are strong during the verses, but they are a bit underwhelming during the chorus. The album starts out with its third promotional single, “Human Race.” The beginning of the song sounds like awful electronic pop music, but once the hard rock guitar riffs and vocals start, the electronic sound disappears until later in the song. The album isn’t as exciting as the earlier work of groups such as Van Halen or Def Leppard, but no one expects it to be either. Human follows a generic, 21st century mainstream rock formula with repetitive lyrics and a somewhat muffled and electronic sound. The band is known for mainstream rock hits such as “I Hate Everything About You” in 2003, “Animal I Have Become” and “Pain” in 2006 and “Never Too Late” in 2007. Matt Walst had worked with Three Days Grace before and is credited as a composer on the band’s 2012 album Transit of Venus. Matt Walst, who rose to fame as the vocalist of band My Darkest Days in 2010, is the brother of bassist Brad Walst. The album is the first with new vocalist Matt Walst, following the departure of Adam Gontier in 2014 to pursue a solo career. Rock group Three Days Grace released their fifth studio album, Human, March 31 to stores everywhere and for digital download.
