I should correct the label - it's DCD2/Warner (DCD2 is the indie label founded by Pete Wentz; Warner distributes all of their acts except for Fall Out Boy, which is on Island) - but they were signed before "Everywhere I Go" was released. (Also, Vikings is the album title, but release date is "early 2015" whereas they'd once tweeted it'd be out in February.) |

I thought their album was lost to the annals of time. I enjoyed Everywhere I Go at first but it burned really fast. Glad to see they're coming out with a second single, but why wait until May? I fear for this one's success since EIG didn't do all that great on the charts. Hope it matches the quality of Dignity and Harlem, both of those are great tracks.

The title of this is so similar to New Medicine's "Rich Kids" that I can't help but fear the worst.

Anyone knows if the official tracklist is actually out yet? No but Green Baron did a parody of the tracklist with each song title consisting of a Hollywood Undead song in front and a Thirty Seconds to Mars song in the bracket behind 1. Hear Me Now (This Is War) 2. Undead (The Kill) 3. Everywhere I Go (Kings and Queens) 4. Been to Hell (Do or Die) 5. We Are (Capricorn) (A Brand New Name) 6. Young (A Beautiful Lie) 7. Day of the Dead (From Yesterday) 8. Dead Bite (Up In the Air) 9. Levitate (City of Angels) 10. Bullet (Closer to the Edge) |

The song is alright. Might be a grower on me.
lmao at it saying that "Everywhere I Go (Kings & Queens)" is still climbing the charts. It's still climbing in their hearts!

This is better than "Everywhere I Go", but I can't tell if this will grow on me or if I'll find it worse the next time I listen to it.

This wasn't bad at all, but I'm laughing at the whole "Everywhere I Go" climbing up the charts thing too!

Grew on me after my second listen lol. The chorus is really catchy. The verses are little off, but I'll probably look past that on further listens. Much better than "Everywhere I Go (Kings & Queens)".

The chorus is great and really catchy! I felt the bridge was pretty predictable though. The more I listen to this the more it grows on me. I think you'll like this too nikkominaj! It's got hints of ATL and some chants! |

I think the poppiness of this song is what's making it hard for me to get into it. It's not bad, but there's nothing really hooky about it that is keeping my attention, it's too safe. I do see the potential for growth, but after three listens I'm squarely undecided about my opinion on it. It lacks some of the edge of tracks like Dignity that helped them stand out a bit too. Everywhere I Go at least had some grittiness going for it.

Finally got a chance to listen to it. Loving it from all angles. A major improvement from that "Everywhere I Go(Kings and Queens)" song; that didn't go anywhere, with me. You know with the right promotion it could crossover to mainstream, HotAC ,ect.. ala "Shut Up & Dance".

And that's saying something too considering A Bad Girl In Harlem was a pretty poppy record. |

Lyrically, I like it better than "Everywhere I Go," but as a whole, I'm not sure if I like it better overall. I'd prefer something like "Yeah, Yeah, Yeah" again.

Well, it's better than "Everywhere I Go", I'll give it that much. I'm a bit surprised (but not all that much) at how fast this is rising out of the gate.
