![]() ![]() ![]() Teaming up with producers Gavin Brown and Howard Benso, engineer Mike Plotnikoff, and mixer Chris Lord-Alge, Outsider is the first time since One-X that THREE DAYS GRACE have recorded with this team and that’s where much of the magic of the revitalised sound comes. ![]() Three years removed from the alt-metal escapades of the much-unloved Human, Outsider sees the band revaluate and remap their sound, retracing their steps and relearning their sounds to create a collection of songs that are far more rooted in the reviving post-grunge movement, polished off with that mid-noughties alt-rock sheen that catapulted the band to new heights way back in 2006 on their breakthrough One-X. They’re outsiders in more ways than one, and on Outsider, THREE DAYS GRACE prove they’ll never be anything but, both sonically and thematically. Having always been a band on the peripheral of alt-rock’s flag-bearers, forever in the shadow of their peers such as NICKLEBACK, BREAKING BENJAMIN, and PAPA ROACH, THREE DAYS GRACE have always been outsiders of their scene and yet they’ve also doubled up as the underdog outsiders of the mainstream invasion, having broken into the Billboard 200’s Top 5 several times. It’s both ironic and apt then that the title of Canadian alt-rockers THREE DAYS GRACE‘s sixth studio album is Outsider. Alternatively, to be an outsider is to be someone will little chance of success, the underdog of the game at hand, the one you’ll bet on in moments of desperation. To be an outsider is to be the odd one out, to be the one looking through the window from the outside, never entering through the door. To be an outsider is to be a person who does not belong to a particular organisation, profession, or culture. ![]()
