Chances are people have forgotten this band, and have been chalked a one-hit wonder unfortunately.

I'm pretty sure Alt will welcome this with open arms. Bring it on.

Going for Triple A adds on September 25th according to All Access. I assume it'll go for Alternative adds the following day. Maybe this will be released on the 22nd?

Maybe this will be released on the 22nd? They are with RCA, so there's a possibility that the track could be released next week instead. |

I'll wait and see what it sounds like. If it's as melodic and fun as SUAD, I won't mind a modern EDM influence.

Peak prediction:
#5 Alt
#? AAA
#28 HAC
#46 CHR
These predictions migh change after I hear the song, but there seems to still be demand for these guys at least from alt, and I could see this making a minor pop splash, especially if the EDM rumors are true.

The term "EDM" scares me. It used to refer to good dance music, but now it just means generic and unoriginal pop music with a drop. Their last album was great, so I'm still looking forward to this.

EDM, IDM, & EBM...I never quite understood the difference but EDM seems to be making a bad name for itself over this decade

Looking forward to this. The last album I feel was a huge missed opportunity to really break out. So many great songs. I will never understand why "Avalanche" wasn't a single. Could've crossed over easily. Maybe they didn't want to get relegated the pop charts...idk

If that had done well, I guarantee "Avalanche" would have been the fourth single. "Avalanche" would have made a great single. I still think "Different Colors" was a dumb choice. It didn't sound like a hit like "Avalanche" and "Work This Body" did. I'm still surprised "Work This Body" did as bad as it did. |

Yeah I didn't like "Different Colors" as a single either, at least not as a second single. "Avalanche" should have been second IMO...would've been a great end-of-summer/fall song. Then either "Work This Body" or "Different Colors" after that and "Portugal" fourth just for fun lol. |

I thought Work This Body was awful and not very single-friendly, avalanche and Portugal would have saved it

"Different Colors" was decent. "Work This Body" was complete shit. "Aquaman" was the single I would have chosen.

Not sure why everybody is hating on "Work This Body". It was a goofy song, but still fun. "Different Colors" was good, but "Aqua Man" and "Avalanche" are two of my favorite Alt songs in the past few years.

"Avalanche", "Portugal", and "Aquaman" were all wayyyy better than "Different Colors" and especially "Work This Body". Hard to be objective on "Shut Up And Dance" after the insane overplay but it's still a pretty good track.
Curious to hear this but not getting my hopes up based on info so far.

I could have sworn that I heard this song from "Talking is Hard" as I remember seeing the title come up on Spotify when listening to this. I just remember hating the auto tune in it. After not being able to find it anywhere, I looked back at the tracklisting and see that I'm probably thinking of "Come Under the Covers."

Surprised that this will be released first in the US at midnight today.
Either way, the length of the track is 4:21 min.

This is 80s as f**k. I like it.
The 'EDM drop' was not really anything to worry about. It's a "Dancing on Glass" / "Kids" kinda 'drop'.

I was going to say this is pretty good, but the chorus is lazy and drains a lot of the momentum

The performance parts of the video reminds me of the music video for "Words as Weapons", lol.

This is about as 80's as Nirvana. It isn't terrible, but I would have thought this band; after their massive "Shut Up + Dance" song, would stick to that sound. ..and what is that unholy effect that is being added to drums to make them sound that way? Jeeze, give me an 80's drum machine instead.
