August 16th Billboard reports.
I've liked a lot about the first single. So I have hopes for this upon hearing it!

This song is pretty good, but I'm really waiting for Catch & Release to be released.

This one is alright. I was kinda hoping for Catch & Release or It's Nice to Know You Work Alone...but to be honest, there isn't a song I don't like by these guys.

Damn. I was hoping for "It's Nice To Know You Work Alone." but this would have been one of my other choices anyway.

"Catch and Release" sounds alot like Soundgarden's "Fell On Black Days" in parts. Mostly it's the baseline. Everything I've heard from this album has been good but I'm a little disappointed that they don't look to be releasing "No Secrets This Year"

I'm almost positive they did. That's my favorite from the album. |

yeah, but not for radio adds, it was a digital single which does not mean push to radio.

Yeah, I thought for sure "There's No Secrets This Year" would be next. I like this one a good deal too, but it seems kind of an odd choice to me because there's not really a discernible chorus. They don't even start repeating the title until toward the very end.
"It's Nice to Know..." would be a decent choice, but not before "TNSTY" or "Surrounded (Or Spiraling)" for me.

I wanted "It's Nice To Know", although "Secrets" wouldn't be terrible, but this is kind of weird. It's a great song, but it doesn't seem like a single to me.

Nooo! This is a decent song, but there are far better on the album without doubt. "There's No Secrets This Year" is the best song on the album IMO. And "It's Nice to Know You Work Alone" is another great track, which would of been my second choice. Poor Selection.

Heard today on radio. First impression is a little better than Panic Switch. Not enough to hear or buy the CD yet, but this could grow.

Well, this "report" from Billboard may be wrong after all. The band recently shot a video for "Substitution", which is said to be the "follow up". It has been getting some good airplay on Alternative. www.fmqb.com/Article.asp?id=1435776 |

Eww, seriously? That's my least favorite song on the album. Compared to their other stuff, it's boring as hell.

Yeah, I agree. I hope it's just an international release or something. It's better off sticking to album cut status.

No! "Substitution" can't be a single, especially when songs like "There's No Secrets This Year", "The Royal We", "Catch And Release", "It's Nice To Know You Work Alone" or even "Draining" are yet to be released. I would prefer any of those songs. If it was my choice, I'd definitely go with "There's No Secrets This Year", though.
Anyway, I'm still amazed with Swoon. One of the best albums that came out this year. Hope they get more hits from this record.

So, this will get released after all. Poor choice in my opinion. They appear to have given up on "Substitution". Goes for adds January 26th.

"Substitution" has had plenty of time. It's barely a top 20 hit and can't even get past "Panic Switch" on the chart. (It has grown on me enough to crack the top 50 of my personal chart, though.)

Have not heard this a lot, but it still beats Panic Switch for me.

I hope it catches on and can even do at least as well as "Substitution." Being that this is far more radio friendly I'd say it has a chance.

While this song was always better than "Substitution," I've been streaming this the past few weeks on All Access, and I can't wait to start hearing it on the radio. I don't see any reason why this song wouldn't be able to send "Panic Switch" on its way out the door once and for all.

Well, I have to say I really like the album overall but personally I think they overlooked the two best songs on the album to go to radio. I understand that they used "No Secrets This Year" as basically a teaser track but the fact that "Growing Old Is Getting Old" hasn't seen the light of day, especially over Substitution is pretty much the only misstep I can think that the label has made with this band since Lazy Eye premiered.

Yeah, I love "GOIGO" (it's my 2nd favorite on the album and my #14 song of 2009) but it wouldn't work on radio.

I can agree with those arguments except that the song is just way too good to not get released (but it suffers the same way Kings Of Leon's "Closer" does). Between hearing Closer and Growing Old on overnight spins I think they could kill just with that (yes I know they wouldn't really but it would be awesome to hear them driving home at 1 AM)
I do actually believe that Growing Old COULD have a chance to make it on radio if given the opportunity however I also acknowledge it would be a risky song to push.

I don't think it's necessarily too slow-paced, but it would need a masterful radio edit. It's 6 minutes long, but I'm not sure it would feel like the same song if it got cut under 5.
