I like it - neat little sonic change after the bridge.
Impacts Alt on June 30 as well.

I agree - I never would've thought they'd come up with something like this - it gave me chills by the end of it
Whoever posted that they were disappointed Trojans never went to CHR, I think this is definitely hitting #1 on Alternative, and then crossing over to CHR
Honestly, I think many pop listeners would've been confused by "Trojans" (the meaning IMO was a little too cryptic for pop) - I think this one is much easier to figure out

I really like Atlas Genius, but I just don't see this breaking to even be a Top 10 hit, let alone to CHR. It's very generic.
It really sounds like "Waves" by Magic Man, but that song is a bit better. The lyrics and singing just doesn't cut it for me. Cool beat, but other than that. Dumb.

Whoa, wasn't expecting that New Wave influence! Love this. It's for sure got the catchiness and summer bonfire vibes of their better debut era tracks. Please smash! That alone tells me I'll probly go head over heals when I finally get a chance to listen to it?

This is pretty good and I do like it better than "If So." I never liked "Trojans" as I found it boring as hell. I'd expect this to do quite well once it gets going.

Really good, and I expect this to do better on Pop than Alt.

Really good, and I expect this to do better on Pop than Alt. It would be the perfect song to follow Walk The Moon onto Pop realm. I rather it didn't, but since "Trojans" failed to crack both the Mainstream Pop and Hot AC top 40, I'm not too worried.

I don't think this is gonna touch CHR at all, but I'd love it if it did.

YouTube: allow that the album can be pre-ordered on iTunes (https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/inanimate-objects/id1006063233) and the song (the single version) can be downloaded. The song is also available on Spotify.

This is pretty good. I don't see it doing anything on pop though. It sounds too indie.

I like it, but its bit 'noisy' to me. The end of the song is my fave part...

I thought by now the haters would have shown up, but it seems there's nothing but love here. Such a great sign... we can enjoy a future #1 without any in-thread bitching for once!

This won't even go top 10 on Alternative, not a troll. This has absolutely no chance to go to #1, I honestly don't get why people are giving all the love. I feel like I have heard at least four or five songs like this already in the past:
- Shots, Imagine Dragons - Move Along, All American Reject - Waves, Magic Man (it almost ripped this song completely off) - One More Minute, Capital Cities
Unbelievably generic

LOL, there had to be one! This won't even go top 10 on Alternative, not a troll. The timing though...

I don't mind this song at all, but it is just nothing new or groundbreaking. A very safe electronic\indie song. Have heard it before, and it's Atlas Genius, they aren't exactly exciting.
I predict: Alternative: #11 (Late August) CHR\POP: WNC Hot AC: #25-27 (October) AAA: #21
When you have these new songs with a fresh sound; Coleman Hell, Beck (I don't like that song, but I love Beck), Robert DeLong, Mercy...those are four songs alone that I can't imagine it getting in front of at all. Throw in Death Cab, Twenty One Pilots, I'm sure X-Ambassadors have something ready to be payola'd as well...it's going to be a tough fight for such a tremendously basic, boring, generic song. Vocals are pretty bad too in the chorus.

Going by the MANY comments in this thread, your opinion of this being "basic, boring, generic" seems like an outlier. This is a lead single from an act that had two Top 10's on their last go round. Reaction to this has been very POSITIVE. There's no way this won't be a top 10 hit at the format.

Nah he's free to dislike the song. I'm just pointing out that based on overall reaction it does seem like this will be a big hit at the format, so "not liking" isn't reason enough to predict aa flop. I didn't like "Uptown Funk" personally but...

I didn't know this was out! I'm very excited to listen. "Trojans" and "If So" are still fantastic.
