Fight or Flight, is the fifth studio album by American rock band Hoobastank released on September 11, 2012, delayed from prior July 31, 2012 and August 28, 2012 dates.[4][5] Like their previous album, the album deals with relationships and love themes and it follows a more mainstream sound.
Overview
Produced by Gavin Brown, the album features eleven new studio tracks including first single, “This Is Gonna Hurt.” On May 3, 2012 the band revealed the first single on their official website.[6] The release of Fight or Flight marks the band’s newfound independence and the opportunity to move forward on their own terms. “We’ve been on this journey for a long time now,” says singer Doug Robb. “It’s like a clean slate, but not in a bad way—quite the opposite. We’re no longer trying to satisfy others, not even on a subconscious level; we’re comfortable in our own skin.”[7] In July 11, 2012 a tentative cover artwork was revealed in Hoobastank’s Facebook page, but in July 19, 2012 it was changed for the definitive cover artwork.[8]
Reception
Fight or Flight received mixed reviews from critics. Pete Crigler of Lithium Magazine stated that "While it’s true that Fight or Flight is better than Hoobastank’s last two releases, it manages to fall short of the record it could have been."[citation needed] Similarly, Alternative Addition stated that "...they could have taken this to an even higher level if they had been willing to up the ante and bring more of an edge to the record by experimenting with heavier and darker musical elements. With that being said, this is still a very good album and one that most fans of the group will appreciate."[citation needed]
