Dammit. I do not want this to be the next single. There are far better choices left on the album like "The Bottom," "Now," "Something to Remind You," and "Failing."

Agreed. Horrible choice. Worst track on the album in my opinion

I mean, it even says in the post that they're using this to influence their decision. So this isn't necessarily a single yet.

Let us pray "the powers that be" veto this!  I'd rather entertain the motion for a joint release: "The Bottom" to Active Rock/Alternative (editing "Failing" too heavily doesn't sit well with me) and "Something To Remind You" to Adult Top 40 and, possibly, Mainstream Top 40 depending on its initial impression. Namaste, lisping HIBISCUS

"Now" should have been it. Disappointed.

Let us pray "the powers that be" veto this! Amen.I'd rather entertain the motion for a joint release: "The Bottom" to Active Rock/Alternative I would love this. (editing "Failing" too heavily doesn't sit well with me) and "Something To Remind You" to Adult Top 40 and, possibly, Mainstream Top 40 depending on its initial impression. I feel like they're intentionally avoiding those formats to fight to gain back their rock cred. They've made good headway, but they're not there yet, and honestly pop is not a good place for rock bands right now. I almost think rock formats would be more interested in that song than pop formats anyway, but they gotta go with one more heavy song before going that route.

Dear God I hope this doesn't see release. I can't see it doing too well if it does though.

Dear God I hope this doesn't see release. I can't see it doing too well if it does though.  Some puerile yrics aside, this is just too manic (in an awkward way) and Snoop Dogg's feature doesn't help matters none either. "The Bottom" strikes me as their best follow-up bet. I know it may arguably feel a little stale to some listeners because of its place in the Transformers film soundtrack, but then again there have been multiple instances of tracks from respective soundtracks eventually released as singles still proving to pave way into hits. Christina Perri's "A Thousand Years" is the most recent example that comes to mind, and I'll bet Keith Urban's "For You" will eventually do so too. Otherwise, "Now" would probably be my second choice. But "The Bottom" just has something about it that really hits hard, while "Now" has more of a melodic sheen to its aggression. Namaste, lisping HIBISCUS

One of the worst Staind song ever! I hope next single will be The Bottom, Now or Failing

^ The Spice Girls song is actually better.
I'd have to echo what everyone else is saying in this thread. They're just plain stupid to release this over "The Bottom" or "Paper Wings." I understand the "stale" arguement as far as "The Bottom" goes, but I still feel like it's their best shot at joint success on Alternative & Active.
I also don't think there's a cat in hell's chance of Pop embracing "Something to Remind Me" or any other single from Staind at this point. Daughtry & Nickelback recently flopped with very pop-friendly tunes, so I fail to see how Staind could fare any better with a ballad that has some pretty dingy lyrics.

But I think it could go Top 40 at least on HAC. "Believe" from the last album peaked at #28 on that chart I believe.

I did nothing bad enough in my life to deserve to listen to this.

let's just wait for EWO to fall down the charts and then, they'll decide the next single.

I would go beyond could and say that it IS definitely their next single. The only reason this thread was created was because it was being tested on WCCC's hit or diss and then "Now" was subsequently tested on hit or diss and did a lot better and has since received multiple adds so I think this is a pretty safe bet at this point.

So should I change the title? Or better yet, I'll create a new thread so this gets locked.
