Even though Adam's strong vocals are absent; I have to admit Three Days Grace can still pull out a damn good melodic chorus; which was what makes them so exciting to listen to. I agree, with this, but I also understand why many people dislike them too. They do tend to get melodically repetitive.

A few other things to know about this song:
- If it hits #1 on BB Mainstream Rock, it would become their 12th single to do so, which is one behind Van Halen's record of 13.
- If it hits #1 in early 2015 instead of late 2014, it would extend their streak of having a #1 in every year since 2009.

I'd like this song a lot better if they changed their name.

The band is more than just the lead singer. Even though Adam is no longer in the band, they still sound like Three Days Grace. Why cahange their name?

"Painkiller" sounded more like My Darkest Days than Three Days Grace, but this one sounds more like 3DG. I agree. Although I liked "Painkiller"...this one is getting better with each listen. Very cool track.

My Darkest Days. Crap. That's twice their name appears on a Three Days Grace thread. Now it's three. I was really hoping never to see or hear from that band again.

To be fair...it's an inevitable reference when talking about 3DG anymore (thanks to Matt's presence, obviously). Personally, I really liked the first MDD cd. Tons of big, commercial hard rock hooks on that one. I think my fave by the band would be "Every Lie".

To say they should change their name just because Adam left them (it wasn't the band who left him) isn't fair to the band. From what I understand about TDG, the entire band played an equal-ish role in composing, Adam was the lyricist. Now the Walst bros are lyricists, and honestly I've had no issue with their lyrics so far. They're a bit basic, but they make sense and they're relatable just like Adam's were. I also think Matt Walst is a strong rock vocalist, and does a good job with distinguishing TDG from MDD. He's no Gontier, but that doesn't mean they have to suck by default.

Matt Walst sucks by default. How exactly does he "suck by default"? I don't get why Matt Walst has to suck because MDD wrote a couple of cock-rock songs. I honestly thought "Porn Star Dancing", "Move Your Body", and "Casual Sex" were pretty good for what they were, and quite catchy/fun too. I also don't get why songs about sex automatically get looked down upon. Last I checked, sex isn't taboo or anything in North America. Or Europe. Or nearly anywhere in the world. And I agree with Cody that Matt has a good voice for rock. It's edgy, and versatile enough to blend with TDG's style.

Here's the thing. My Darkest Days' strength didn't lie in their vocals. ANYONE could have sang those songs.

This song is f**king awesome.
This would fit the new 'Terminator' movie perfectly.

Same here, although this feels more Alternative than "Painkiller", which had more of an MDD vibe. The song is decent enough for what it is, and this does give the chart a bit more diversity, so I'm hoping it can do decently.

There's actually an Alt station in Halifax playing this a lot, but up here all the rest are ignoring it. There's also only 5 stations playing this enough for it to chart, but whatever.

Break it up people! When are you gonna wake up and stop drowning each others happiness! It's seriously overrated and I know none of you were born like this. I have high expectations for this song so can we just operate calmly instead of arguing over and over? Seriously, just let it die.
