Three Days Grace Has Changed Their Album Covers, Potentially to Tease Something New

It's becoming more common in this day and age for musicians of all kinds to mess with their album artwork after the albums have already been released. Of course, musicians can't change the physical copies of these albums or the images of them that already exist online, but they can change how the covers appear on streaming services like Spotify.

Three Days Grace is the latest band to take advantage of this option, although the changes they've made to their albums are subtle enough that you might not have noticed them at first. Here's what we know about what Three Days Grace did to their albums, and why people think they did it.

The band appears to have replaced notable figures on each of their past albums with stick figures. On the cover of "Outsider," for example, the colored directional arrows that were originally on the front of the cover have now been replaced with stick figures in the same color that point in four different directions.

Although users have noticed this change when they listen to the band on streaming, many are just confused by the decision.

Although the band hasn't offered any explanation for the change, many have speculated that they decided to change the album artwork to promote their new album. This is an approach that other artists have already taken, which would suggest that whatever their new album cover looks like, this stick figure that has appeared on every other album will be a prominent part of it.

Kesha was the latest to do this, adding a pink circle to all of her previous albums. It looks like the people who occupy the Three Days Grace Reddit might not be aware of Kesha's activity, though, because many of them were totally baffled by the change.

"This feels like an analog horror wtf is going on," one person wrote.

"I first thought this was some joke from another subreddit or something, but the fact that this is real is so weird," another added.

Although many fans of Three Days Grace might be a little disturbed or turned off by this change to the album art, the change is unlikely to be a permanent one. If it is indeed being done to promote a new album, then you would think that all the older albums will go back to their original artwork once the new album is out.

If you own the album in some physical form, though, you should be comforted by the fact that it doesn't matter whether Three Days Grace or the record company behind them decide to change their artwork. You'll always have the original artwork, and no one is going to break into your house and change. One of the perils of the streaming era is that artists can do things like this, whether fans are into it or not.
