Matching the total of Sainthood in a much quicker time frame like I expected. However, it's down to selling 4-5k per week already. The official second single needs to be released next month.

Is Closer going to be pushed at Pop at all? I feel like it could get there eventually but yeah, I'd like to see something new promoted from the album. They have filmed a video but I'm not sure what song it's for. I'm wondering what methods they have planned for promo in the future, like, are any songs going to be licensed for movies or anything like that. I think that would help them out a lot since even just a 15 second clip of a song from this album would be enough to get it some attention. The songs are pretty instantaneous.

Express' new clothing line, feat. a 15-second "Closer" clip.The song is awesome. I think I originally heard it on degrassi, lol. I can def see it big here in the US though.

I would rather "Goodbye, Goodbye" be pushed to Pop.

It should be "How Come You Don't Want Me." That feels like the song most likely to break them through.

That one is my least favourite on the album with the bridge being the weakest moment. I like the song but I hope not...

I love the song and I love Mae Whitman... but that video is way too melodramatic and on the nose. It looks nice, though, I guess. The lyric video was much better.

They're seriously sending Closer to top-40 five months later? Ok.

I Was A Fool is a SMASH! It's on all the radio stations now! Really? I was iffy when they said it'd be the second single. I think "I'm Not Your Hero" should go to Alternative and "Now I'm All Messed Up" should be the second Pop single/third single.

This was an okay album for me... doesn't even come close to touching the masterpiece that was The Con, probably because the overall mood is way too placid than what I'm used to by them, but nevertheless I enjoyed a few songs: Goodbye, Goodbye, I'm Not Your Hero, Drove Me Wild and Closer are pretty much the only songs I'd bother listening to from the album lol. I find Heartthrob to be even weaker than Sainthood, which I at first didn't like much but upon repeated listens the clever lyrics and awkward melodies became quite enjoyable. Is Closer doing much on CHR?

The single release is puzzling. Why go with that song, when there are much better choices? (i.e. How Come You Don't Want Me, I Couldn't Be Your Friend, and Now I'm All Messed Up)
I do like the verses to Goodbye, Goodbye.

It puzzles me that their label hasn't bothered properly pushing anything in America after Closer.

I've never really listened to anything by them much--not sure why--but just heard "I Was A Fool" and I love it. I plan to stream their album at some point today.
