I like Anna sun more than this more anthemic The only problem with "Anna Sun" is that it's 5:21 long...that's just so unnecessary, and why I burned out on it faster than I should have lol. Should've ended at the 4:19 mark, in fact I recen tly edited my file of it to cut it off there lol.

If we were in the 80s and 90s; i'd say yes this sounds very poppy. I'd even be proud to say it, but nowadys pop has turned to something else. Songs like these barely scrape the mainstream pop charts. That alone should tell you something! That this doesn't follow the general formaula for a pop song by today's standards.

This song is inescapably catchy. It's easily one of my favorites released this year. I'd love to see this become a huge pop hit, but for now I'm glad it's doing something here.

This has a really good chance of going top 5. I prefer Anna Sun a lot to this, but I'm glad that they're able to score a huge hit.

That's a really bold prediction because of "Anna Sun" only having got to #10, but I would love to see it happen.

It's digital sales are stronger than "Anna Sun"'s ever were; even enough to debut on the Hot 100 this past week. That's a pretty good indication that'll it'll become a crossover hit, and therefore it has a great chance at being one of those songs to reach the Top 5 and stay there for months.

So much great news in two lines of text, haha. You have my hopes up now though, so if none of this happens I'm boardiciding and that blood will be on your hands

Yeah this should be a crossover hit easily. It's getting rave reviews through Single of the Week, which most reviewers bash every song that comes through there.

I'm predicting it goes onto the Hot AC charts in the weeks to come.

Wow, I was simply hoping for these guys to not fade into obscurity with this album and now this has a good chance of outdoing "Anna sun"'s #9 peak. It'll probably take a couple more weeks for that to happen, as the next two unbulleted songs are 300+ and 400+ plays ahead of it, but there aren't any songs ready to pass it either.

Album is very average. "Shut Up And Dance" is by far the best song, only a few others really stood out.
"Come Under The Covers" or "Different Colors" should be next. I really hope they don't release the "Tightrope" clone that is "Sidekick".
"Avalanche" is also pretty good, but nothing else is really anything special.

Upon 1st listen I fairly enjoy it. It's a nice listen. All the songs are good. Not amazing, but good. the one thing I will point out though, is this sounds like the follow up to the "When It Was Now" album by Atlas Genius. (For me that isn't bad because I enjoyed that album too.
7.3/10 Chuckles

Notes as I listen.
Really like "Different Colors". Wish they would let the guitar solo develop a bit more though. "Sidekick" is kinda meh. Chorus sucks. Cringeworthy. "Up 2 U" has a good riff, but the vocals are meh.

Did this song get some kind of promo? All of a sudden it's up to #64 on iTunes! Incredible position given that it's still only #11 on Alternative radio, and #22 on Triple A.
