Seems a little early, "Take Me To Church" hasn't even peaked yet.

No surprises here, that's the best choice from both of the released EPs. I'm sure it will get a push to Alt after Take Me To Church peaks, though this one is a little more AAA friendly so I don't see it doing as well.

I really really like Hozier, I'm so excited for his album. This might do well on the Alternative formats I guess but I don't like it as much as "Take Me to Church," I find it kind of uneventful. He's a good lyricist though.

I like this but not as much as 'Take Me To Church' and 'To Be Alone', though I can't see the latter ever becoming a single.

This is almost as bad as "Take Me To Church" lyrically, but it's somewhat tolerable musically. I'd give it a "C" for now, which is a big upgrade over the "F-" I give to "Take Me To Church".

I don't like this as much as "Take Me To Church" or another song from his album, "To Be Alone", but this is chill and I like it. Not something I'd usually hear on radio, it's too chill.

I didn't really ever like "Take Me To Church," but I think I can tolerate this. Sounds a lot like Kings of Leon to me.

This has grown on me a bit. I actually don't mind this at all...Hozier might become my new Kings Of Leon.

I just can't imagine this as radio music. Love the music so much but it's just something I feel is too soft and chill for radio. A man with a guitar making beautiful music is very enjoyable, don't get me wrong, but I feel some of the more energetic tracks should be made for radio, so people don't get bored and switch the station.

Not as boring as "Take Me to Church", but still way too slow for my tastes. Doesn't help that the song just drags on either.

Yes! Hopefully this hits #1 even though Take Me To Church missed out.

This is great. Almost top 20 on my chart and it gets better and better so I wouldn't mind it at all if this goes #1 (shocking given my distaste for "Take Me To Sleep", I know)

I enjoy both songs(Take Me To Church peaked at #1 and this at #4 on my chart), but in my opinion From Eden isn't as catchy, gripping, or lyrically impressive as the lead single. |

I enjoy both songs(Take Me To Church peaked at #1 and this at #4 on my chart), but in my opinion From Eden isn't as catchy, gripping, or lyrically impressive as the lead single. It's more upbeat, it's alot catchier, and I thought the lyrics in TMTC were terrible, and rather offensive. I'm not even religious either. Musically, the most annoying parts of TMTC are the "AYAYAYAYAYAYA MEN" pre-chorus and the second chorus intro where he feels the need to hold his vocal notes and make it choppy "TAKE MEEEEEEE TO CHURRRRCHHHH". Those two things turn an average musical piece into a disaster IMO, and the lyrics make it absolutely shocking. From Eden is a well-structured song without any of the issues mentioned above IMO. |

Being sent to Alternative on Feb. 10. I'm still curious to see if they will elect to go with a different song for HAC and Pop. It seems to me like they should go with "Angel of Small Death" for HAC and Pop. I cannot see "From Eden" doing well on those stations.
