the album version is similar to the acoustic version, it will be great if they will make a general rock version for this only for the single release

^It's acoustic, but unlike the acoustic version it has drums and bass too.
And while I'm not exactly IMPRESSED, the four songs that I've heard off this album (the two singles as well as "Bloody Sunday" and "I'm Still Alive" put them well ahead of the rest of the cock rock pack. "Bloody Sunday" musically is actually interesting to me and the acoustic guitar voicings in the verses of "Sex Is Good" are actually REALLY nice...I'd say beautiful if it weren't for the context of the song.

The fact that this has a far bigger bullet than the Trapt lead single is disgraceful.

Its funny to me that this song has now taken on a whole different meaning just in the fact the song actually has the word THE in front of it rather than just "Sex Is Good".

Makes it a little more specific, that's for sure.

It may crack Top 40 (alt) if "The Sex Is Good" matches "Stupid Girl..."'s peak on active. If it continues to outpeak "Stupid Girl...", then it may crack Top 30 on alt. But that's about it.

Not really an alternative song in any way, so if it charts anyplace there is good.

The first thing I actually thought of when I heard this was Matthew Sweet. The style reminds me of him in a way. Personally, I find this more simplistic and humble than anything on their first album...and it's called "Sex is Good".

Sweet has a song called Sex Is Good? Is this a cover with a new title? You don't know how to read, do you?
