Second single from the Matt Walst era is called "I Am Machine" and will be out September 16. Album is due out around March 2015. I liked "Painkiller", hopefully this will be great too.

I can't believe they're releasing the album so incredibly long after the first single came out.

I can't believe they're releasing the album so incredibly long after the first single came out. That's exactly what I was thinking. Usually you want to get your album out right when the first single is peaking. Will Painkiller even be on the next album? I can't believe they didn't have a second single ready to go after that one peaked. |

"Painkiller" could have been a teaser just to have an original with Matt on vocals for fans to know what they will sound like and to get a public opinion of Matt.

I have low hopes for this. Painkiller sucked and this is a lame song title.

As long as Adam isn't involved, I'm not interested.

This pretty much confirms that My Darkest Days is done now. :/

Shame My Darkest Days have disbanded.
Porn Star Dancing was such an epic song.
Hard to think now even that almoust went top 20 in alt.

Better than "Painkiller" in my opinion.

Solid once again. I don't like it as much as "Painkiller" yet but I can see it being better. #1 on Active please! I'm officially intrigued, I think a full album with Matt Walst will work. Hopefully this can be their 12th active #1, and their 12th #1 on my personal chart |

It's not bad, maybe a grower.

I thought that was better than "Painkiller," but still isn't nearly as good as most of the material from when Adam was the vocalist. Matt's voice does sound better in this one, but Adam's voice was what made Three Days Grace stand out from similar bands to me.

I like it, but I don't know if I like it better than "Painkiller". "Painkiller" sounded more like My Darkest Days than Three Days Grace (who I like anyways), but this one sounds more like 3DG (in a way).

Better than Painkiller, I guess. I don't care if Alt neglects this, though.

I thought this was pretty good. Not too much different than their previous material, and has a nice edge to it that is missing on today's radio. Should have no problem reaching #1 on Active.

It doesn't even sound like Three Days Grace. It's like a weak Linkin Park ripoff.

I'm skeptical about this hitting #1 on Active. With Nickelback likely to hold down the spot for the next month or so (when it hits #1 that is), then the Foo Fighters having it for potentially 2 months, this might be the odd man out. I see this peaking at #2, unless it takes a slow ride to the top.

Pretty good on first listen! A bit better than "Painkiller", which I still thought was great, so I hope this does well (probably will on Active anyway ). |

Way better than "Painkiller", I wouldn't mind this doing decently. The current state of Active top 10 needs something to spice it up.

Even though Adam's strong vocals are absent; I have to admit Three Days Grace can still pull out a damn good melodic chorus; which was what makes them so exciting to listen to.
