Just delivered to alt radio - second single from Lunatic. Fun fact: it sold 400,000 copies during its time as the iTunes Single of the Week in March. (via Play MPE)

Well that was pretty good, I guess there's no worries about these guys ever being one-hit wonders.

Not as catchy to me as "Come With Me Now," but still can get stuck in your head a good amount. I don't know if it'll hit #1, but should do quite well.

Love this song. I still like "Come With Me Now" better, but this is awesome too. I don't care for any of their other songs though.

This is a solid follow-up, kinda saw it coming from a mile away. I can see this hitting Top 10 pretty easily.

Obvious next choice. Hopefully, this can get Top 5 at least.

The Chicago alternative station was playing this one back in September/October of last year. I thought this was the single until I started hearing Come With Me Now.

Another pop song? If it's not as catchy as CWMN it probably will not have an impact.

I'm surprised this hasn't come up on Active yet with how heavy this is.

Glad they went with this one! (I think some Active Rock stations will eventually get on board.)

I think I prefer this to CWMN, which was a #2 on my personal chart, so...

I love this. CWMN took a while to grow.
I'm waiting for one station to have the balls to play the unedited version. KROQ & 104.5 have failed me.

This is great. Hopefully it climbs further. Also my Alternative station plays this one censored as well.

My Alt station played "Afraid" uncensored but censors this one for some reason.

Just listened to the album, and I thought it was quite average. Lots of filler, but I think "Hey I Don't Know" would be an excellent 3rd choice. Their ballads are pretty weak.

Well I really like this album. It's a grower. I like "It's a Good Life" probably because it's got that Paul Simon Graceland vibe in it right in the middle. It's not a radio song but not everything has to be for radio. I saw from hits they just sold a million records of "Come With Me Now" so they're doing really well considering the videos for these songs are from 2011 and 2012.
