Agreed I can't see Animal doing particually well on radio. Personally I think they should have released Asylum and Warrior as singles.

This is just..............awful lyrically.
What are they doing? Their credibility among loyal listeners of theirs could very well erode with a release like this, as though they think Draiman is tapping more into the "Twilight" phenomenon than his own inner-demons.
To make the official tally six, the title track is simply the stand-out radio release. I also believe "Warrior" is a leading contender.
Namaste, Lisping Hibiscus

I'd vouch for "Warrior" over "Asylum". I wasn't really listening to the lyrics of "The Animal", but I think it has a way cooler sound than "Asylum". "Asylum" sounds like EVERY other Disturbed song. It brings absolutely nothing to the table. "The Animal" has an interesting darker than usual sound for Disturbed. "Warrior" has the chorus going for it as something that makes it different, with the riffs certainly being up to par. "Asylum" is as Disturbed-by-numbers as it gets. It's like they took the music for the chorus of "Indestructible", and then stripped it of all melodic content, didn't add anything melodically new in place of it, and added some cut-time riffs that made it sound a bit more like it was from the Believe era.

That's actually how I feel about "Warrior".

Yeah, one of my least favorite songs ever by Disturbed right here.

I listened to "Asylum" (song) a while ago and I listened to this a couple of days ago. "Asylum" was 10x better than this.

Ɖǰʘ and lockebox, u can't imagine how much i agree with you I only listened to each song once I think, and "Asylum" was the one to get stuck in my head. I can't even remember how "The Animal" even sounds.

Not looking too promising. It may not be the best single choice, but hopefully it can do decently anyway.

I would consider 10 Years more alternative than Disturbed at this stage of the game, especially since 10 Years hit #1 on alternative at one point and they never had a chart-topper on active yet.
