Human by Three Days Grace

Human, released on RCA on March 31, 2015, is the fifth Three Days Grace album and the one that had to answer the big question: what happens after the voice leaves? Adam Gontier had quit in 2013, and in his place stood Matt Walst, bassist Brad Walst's younger brother, formerly the singer of My Darkest Days and already a longtime songwriter for the band. It was the first of three records they'd make without Gontier.
The answer was to keep the alternative metal machine running: Barry Stock's guitars grind, Brad Walst and drummer Neil Sanderson bolt the low end down, and the new singer slots into the choruses without blinking. "Painkiller", "I Am Machine" and "Human Race" all turned up on the countdowns, and the album went gold in the US. Gontier finally came back in 2024, with Matt Walst staying on beside him.
