Fight or Flight, is the fifth studio album by American rock band Hoobastank released on September 11, 2012. 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. 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". On July 11, 2012, a tentative cover artwork was revealed in Hoobastank's Facebook page, but on the 19th, it was changed for the definitive cover artwork.
