Looks to be the third single from La Gárgola. It's now under cool new music.

"One Ocean" should have been the choice, they need a break from the hard-hitting rockers.

I'm not sure how this will do, but it sure as hell is their best bet for another Top 10 hit. I don't think "One Ocean" has the potential to be bigger than "Hunter Eats Hunter," nor do I think it would give Chevelle another Alternative charter. So all in all, great choice.

This song is awesome, and should have been the 2nd single. The riff reminds me of "The Clincher" a little bit. If there's any justice in the world, this will go top 5 no problem on Active. Chevelle is one of the fewer veteran bands that I feel has not dropped in quality yet.

This was my hope for a third single and I thought "One Ocean" would be it. I would have been fine with either one. Their third singles seem to take a bit of a steep drop after the first two, so I'm hoping this makes the Top 20 on Active.

Lol, from now on whenever you get shocked when people make peak predictions ot anything of the sort, just go to Wikipedia and look at the band's discography page. You'll make sense of it and it'll keep us from having to explain the reasoning behind things like what American Idiot just said about a top 20 peak. |

I mean, yeah, I know that "Hunter" underperformed, but still. "Same Old Trip" hit #6 last year, even if that was coming off a few bigger hits. I'd expect #12-15, honestly. |

Chevelle seems to have a trend in which every 2 album cycles they have a third single that underperforms significantly. "Panic Prone" and "Shameful Metaphors" (their second and fourth 3rd singles) only reached the Top 30, and since this is their sixth, this could very well follow that trend.  Also, I would've liked to hear "One Ocean" as well. Something rather peaceful about that song, and on the contrary I think it would stand a small chance on Alternative. |

This was the song to go with. I feel they've made the right choices with each of the 3 singles from the cd. Admittedly, both this and the nearly 6-minute "Hunter Eat Hunter" are dense, decidedly non-commercial fare...but that's true of pretty much all of "La Gárgola" (which, I'd argue, is the album's strength).
GREAT track!

I still think the reason those particular 3rd singles underperformed is because they're softer in nature, versus "The Fad" and "Same Old Trip", which leads me to believe this will follow in their footsteps rather than "Panic Prone" and "Shameful Metaphors"

Whatever. This is still the best song on the album.

Is it bad that I've heard this more on my Alt station than on my Active stations?

I was gonna say that's one of only three Chevelle singles to not make my chart (the others being "Mia" and "Hunter Eats Hunter"), but no, I was thinking of "Shameful Metaphors". "Same Old Trip" got a week in at like #39 |

I think this is my favourite ever Chevelle 3rd single. This honestly sounds big enough to be a lead single. "An Island" is badass, and is their edgiest song since "The Clincher". |

FOX just used "Face to the Floor" in a montage showing the 8 times Colt McCoy got sacked last week in the Redskins-Rams game.  Like your face, being forced, to the floor... |
