Yeah, "The Drug" would be my #1 choice, closely followed by "Ghost Town" & "Surrender." They'll probably go with "Kick Ass," though. Not the song I wanted, but it probably has a better chance on Active than any other song at their disposal. |

What you just said is probably true. Hey Mat, guess what I think of this song. Hehehehehe.

You despise it? This is the first crappy single that they've released. The previous three were all pretty solid, for me.

Hehe you got it.
My Egypt Central grades:
"You Make Me Sick" B+
"Taking You Down" B-
"White Rabbit" B-
"Kick Ass" D/F (haven't decided yet, but yes, I think it's atrocious)

I don't hate it either. In fact, this is the most fun I've ever had listening to one of their songs because it's so easy to make fun of. It's atrocious, but if you believe in the "Absolute Value Scale", this song is about a -7 which means that with "You Make Me Sick" being about a 6 for me, this is the most I've ever enjoyed one of their songs. ;)

wow..don't u think this is moving really fast? It had 23 more spins than last week, which means probably about four or five stations added it. I'm not complaining though. I've always thought they deserved more exposure. |

If this song becomes a top 10 after "You Make Me Sick" missed the top 20, I will vow to stop listening to active rock radio and give up on it permanently (something I should have probably done a long time ago).

They're better known on radio now than they were then, though. "You Make Me Sick" would hit the top 20 now, I'm sure. I think a peak in the teens for this song is more realistic than a top 10 finish.

Jamie will be delighted that this didn't reach the top 20. Any one of the three I mentioned in the second post would be fine as a third single.
