Compared to the banger that was Amsterdam, this is a whimper.

Yeah. I hope this becomes a huge multi-format smash.

Not as good as Amsterdam, but still really solid. I don't hear pop hit at all, though... Like, AAA at best, but this doesn't sound like something that would be big on pop to me.

Typical for 2017. Make an upbeat rock song, ignore it because apparently that's unmarketable, switch to a softer single which isn't bad at all, but never goes anywhere. I can't believe this is getting picked over Amsterdam.

Why was Amsterdam not even released? It's been one of the rare times when a teaser is literally a tease, but song was good enough to be a top 10.
What's interesting is they are really making a statement by choosing sorry over Amsterdam, I assume active won't touch Sorry but what do I know.

Amsterdam was great, but when I listened to it on repeat for a few weeks it got old really fast, at least for me
This song is alright - I mostly like it though because it's a Nothing But Thieves song and I want this era to be big- IMO this song could go either way, but I hope it's huge

Not sure how it took me over a week to finally hear this. I don't understand the band's thoughts here on choosing this as the leadoff single compared to "Amsterdam," which was the perfect choice IMO for a leadoff single. This one I think can easily grow on me, but it seems to me more like a third single after they've already drawn fans into two energetic songs were released.

Today IS it's impact date though These are stations that have been playing it prior to today... Not necessarily. If you look at the starters and leaders section for this song, you'll only find 1 station on the former and none on the latter, and that station (WRDA) which spin it 2 times, didn't even add the song yet. (as of today) Plus KXNA usually plays their stuff after they add the song from what I've noticed. EDIT: 2 of the adds, KPOI and KFMA, spun it once 1 week since this post was made, but three of the adds (KQGO, WMRQ and WWCD) are on the starters section, which meant they didn't even play it last Monday, hence proving my point.

Well I'm sorry that Sorry didn't do well. I did like this. They probably should have started with Amsterdam though.

well they thought Amsterdam might to be too heavy for Alt so they went with the safe pick but now even the safe pick isn't even working

I'm betting this band goes the route of Crash Kings on alt unfortunately.

"Mountain Man" is solid since it's pretty much just a White Stripes song, "Shaking Like An Animal" is decent, the rest I don't care much about.
NBT definitely has a much larger catalog of solid, single-worthy tracks, would be a real shame to have their Alt life end this early.

Well they shot themselves in the foot by not sending Amsterdam. It had the sound of a "huge" hit

It had the sound of a "huge" hit And "I'm Not Made by Design"...sigh, I guess I'll just go on ahead and say it...does Muse better than Muse did themselves this year. I really hope they haven't screwed themselves here. They don't deserve this.

Don't worry NBT, despite this song you'll always have hits in our books.
