"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 July 19, 2012 it was changed for the definitive cover artwork.
