Even though this sounds like "Empire" part 2; it isn't as good. It's Not too terrible , but I think Alt let "Empire" slip by too soon? What is it with the word Wolves in titles now a days?

They're moving quick with this. I'll have to give it a listen, but based on this already starting to be promoted as a third single, I think it will chart at least.

This is probably my favorite single from OMAM this era. Empire eventually grew on me, but this one's more instant. Hopefully it doesn't flop like Empire.

This is good, but I don't see it doing much. Unfortunately it seems their time has come and passed already. "Human" would have been a better single choice IMO, but it probably won't matter much at this point.

IMO they need to get with a new producer or collaborate with new writers so that they can put out something that sounds different from everything else they've already put out - Alt doesn't give up on bands very easily, as long as they continue to evolve and adapt (that means no more songs about animals, kings, queens, and mountains)

I don't think they need to sell out/appeal to the masses - but they've gotta be comfortable with music that's got different instrumentation, different production, different lyrics, etc., otherwise, they're gonna turn into a smaller version of the Goo Goo Dolls or Nickelback |

This is growing on me. Not as good as "Empire", but better than "Crystals" IMO.

Empire is better than all the other stuff I have heard. |

Looks like this is gonna underachieve just like "Empire" did. I can't believe how much they've fallen off the mark since they're first effort.
