Is this from a new album/EP/standalone single? It's not on the EP that "Long Way Down" was on.

I hope this flops on Alternative. This, Big Data, Chet Faker, Lorde, Macklemore and Daft Punk are by definition not alternative and are taking spins away from actual Alternative bands such as Nickelback (the 37th biggest Alternative act), Godsmack, Theory of a Deadman, Papa Roach, The Pretty Reckless and Nothing More. Give those spins to these bands instead of these pop acts, in that way, the alternative chart would be more listenable.
Joking! This should be huge on Alternative, and I'm actually fine with this doing well. I liked Long Way Down, and I'm fine with those rock bands that I mentioned not charting at all. They can chart but they shouldn't rob bands such as Interpol, TV on the Radio or Spoon of spins either.

Also, Daryl gets bonus points for pointing out that Godsmack are the 37th most successful Alternative act. What a disgrace, they're the most alternative band on the planet and should be the most successful ever. If you don't think "1000HP" should have been #1 alternative hit of 2014, then you're just lying to yourself. |

In addition, the reason why I didn't include bands such as Puddle of Mudd and Staind to my joke was because they haven't released anything new recently.

Is this seriously a thing? I have absolutely no idea why Godsmack, Nickelback and Puddle of Mudd even ended up in a Robert Delong thread without anyone complaining about the state of Alternative. Holy f**king s**t.

Holy f**king s**t. Because Billboard classified these bands as 'Alternative' (see the Alternative Albums archive) whereas Robert DeLong and Chet Faker are classified by them as dance. I wanted to start a WTF ALTERNATIVE thread lol because of the rants done in other threads for songs such as Habits (Stay High) and Stolen Dance. |

I wanted to start a WTF ALTERNATIVE thread lol because of the rants done in other threads for songs such as Habits (Stay High) and Stolen Dance. Honestly, I've always viewed post-grunge/some nu-metal ("rock and rool"? Come on) to be a part of the Alternative genre (personal view). Alternative is a rock format, and if it means some mainstream rock getting played, why not. Just because Active likes them doesn't mean Alternative should completley shun them. I have absolutely no complaints with Godsmack, Nickelback, and Puddle of Mudd getting Alternative as well as Active airplay (and yes, I was hoping "1000hp" and even "Edge of a Revolution" would chart on Alternative). If Robert Delong and Chet Faker got played on whatever format that primarily plays "dance" music, along with Alternative, OK then. I'd be more than willing to hear mainstream rock and "dance music" (as classified by Billboard) on the same station. Rant over. |

Kind of like 2010 and 2011 when Staind pulled a Linkin Park and bands such as Theory of a Deadman, Puddle of Mudd, Godsmack and Nickelback charted in the 20s to 30s, and there's a mix of core acts (Chevelle, Linkin Park, Seether, Three Days Grace, Shinedown, Breaking Benjamin) and indie acts (Phoenix, Foster the People, AWOLNATION, etc.) That would be the ideal chart for Alternative. Though in all fairness, Seether was in a slight decline in 2011 compared to their previous era. |

Exactly. That, along with the mid 2000s. I guess I'm just annoyed at how everyone likes to poke fun at post-grunge and hard rock, because those are two of my favorite genres. Many people just see it as a "phase" to go through, but I've liked it when I was 15, I like it at 24, and I'll probably still like it at 30+. Also, I think the "Habits" and "Stolen Dance" threads had all that discussion because of how polarizing the songs were. Robert Delong did not have nearly as much of that. |

But Daryl the Beryl did say he started it for s**ts and giggles, which looks like it worked. Even I've gotten sick of all the "WTF ALT" stuff, and I used to rant about it all the time. |

I always thought the label "Post-Grunge" was lame and I dislike when I see Hard Rock being labled as post-grunge. Makes Grunge sound more important than it really was? I feel the same way when I see STP called grunge. They weren't even from Washington. Anyway,I heard 0% grunge in Nickelback, Hinder, Shindown, Saving Abel ect.. All those bands are inspired by bands, like AC/DC, Boston(southern Rock), Aerosmith, etc.., not Nirvana, Sound Garden ect.. Also none from Washington; where grunge; which was actually a musical movemnet started. So why the hell, where they labeled; Post-Grunge to begin with? made no sense; other then an excuse for Alt radio to play their music.
That's my beef for today.

I enjoy Robert DeLong's music, and I'm excited to see what he follows up #2-peaking "Long Way Down" with, as well as the new tracks that are contained on his upcoming album.
Not sure what's up with all of those weird symbols at the top of the album art though, I know a couple of them were on the EP cover but not really sure why they need to be on the album.

Have you ever heard Nickelback's Curb album? It's Canada's answer to Pearl Jam. Nickelback didn't really have any classic rock influence until Dark Horse. |

I'm assuming this isn't available on the pre-order yet (haven't checked)? I didn't care too much for "Long Way Down", but I'm still interested in this for some reason.

Curb, The State, and some of Silver Side Up and The Long Road had grunge material. |
