I'm really digging this song. Sounds pretty fresh, and I love the hook. I'll have to check out more of their older stuff.

I can see this outperforming the first two charting singles from "From Death to Destiny". Good song.

lol, I actually like this because the chorus sounds like "Go Your Own Way" by Fleetwood Mac.

I might actually personal chart this out of nowhere, and it's rare that I chart random new active rock bands that I've never charted before these days, Beware Of Darkness' "All Who Remain" and Pretty Reckless' "Heaven Knows" are the only two recent examples I can think of. |

See, I've never met anyone IRL who hates Bullet for My Valentine. I nearly got killed for making fun of Five Finger Death Punch though. |

Same on BFMV, they're easily my favourite of the modern metal bands. I also like FFDP, but I have a few friends who can't stand them because of their vocalist. |

You guys were talking about Crossfade right?
I haven't expressed my distaste for Asking Alexandria before but since this is in Top 15, I might aswell do that now. I forgot what their first single was called but it sucked. The Break Down The Walls single was just awful and this is their worst song by far. Not only is the singer's voice terrible but the lyrics are awful and the song is as generic as generic can be. The first time I heard the song I felt like I heard it before because I KNOW I'VE HEARD THAT CHORUS PROGRESSION BEFORE. This has to take the cake for the worst song currently on Active.

These lyrics are just generic and awful. And ripping off another song is a bad quality in my books, see "This Means War" |

I'm glad someone else sees it. |
