I still haven't been able to get into this. Fact. It's difficult to get into songs that are lazy and bad. This group is way too talented to have this as a follow up to a monster single.

I don't think it's 'lazy and bad', I just think it's uninteresting for a single. This is totally an underwhelming follow up to "Shut Up and Dance", though that one is easily the best on the record (and in their whole discography for that matter), so most would have to be underwhelming. I still choose "Work This Body" over this, or even "Avalanche".

For me, it's just like Foster The People, in that he probably woke up one day with an idea for a really catchy song in his head, but IMO hasn't really had another idea for another one of that level
This is #2 on RTM.com callout, though, so I think it'll go Top 10

I like this better than Shut Up And Dance. I don't mind Shut Up And Dance, but i think it is one of their worst.

Definite worst has to be Work This Body. no I can't think of a song that can be considered their 'worst'. I mean, there's songs by them that I don't care for, but there's not one I can single out as their worst.

it's either Work This Body or Up 2 U personally
this album had a lot of "mediocre" songs that weren't horrible but not good

Agree with the "Work This Body" dissents. Least favorite song on the album, and I hope that never sees the light of day as a single.
"Tightrope", however, was cool. They're four for four with singles, but "Anna Sun" remains their best IMO.

I'm only familiar with 5 of their songs.
1. Shut Up and Dance (timeless classic) 2. Tightrope 3. Different Colors (so Far) could move up? 4. Aquaman (i want this to be a single) 5. Anna Sun (not really a fan)

this band is just mediocre in general...haven't hated anything they've done, but even SUAD only managed to get to about #17 on my personal chart & nothing else by them has come close & likely none of their future singles will either
