I decided recently to check out this new album and their last one and they're both pretty good even though I'm really not into metalcore so much. The pop-punk and metal come together perfectly. Like peanut butter and jelly!

2nd Sucks is the worst song on the album. It would fail to get any spins whatsoever at Alternative.

Yeah, releasing "2nd Sucks" would be a bit of a joke. That along with "You Be Tails, I'll Be Sonic" are too heavy for alt, which is their targeted format, I'm guessing. Therefore, "Better Off This Way" or "Out of Time" would have to be next.

This better do better than merely top 20. There's so little good rock on the active rock stations anymore -- they need to embrace the few good hits they actually play.

I don't understand the love for this band or this song. I like heavier music so I really should like this band if they're that good, but I just don't think they are. Obviously I'm in the minority on this board, and it's just my opinion, but man am I underwhelmed by this and every other song I've heard from them. I'm waiting for them to live up to the hype, but they're just not doing it for me.

^ Well, I know you're more into the ''progressive'' side of things. These guys lean more towards emo/hardcore, so that may be why. One of the better songs in top 20 for me.

Yeah, but I like my share of metalcore bands, and that's what their wikipedia page lists as their primary genre. I like Killswitch and I like Story Of The Year, so why shouldn't I like the band right smack in the middle? But I don't. :/
Maybe it's the vocals. I think the singer sounds boring at best.

I must say I really dig their metalcore/pop-punk combination. I should give their older stuff a listen.

I see them very similar to Atreyu with a bit of a harder edge. I think they're one of the better new bands to come into new rock music over the last few years, but they can't ever compare to Story of the Year for me ;)

I don't mind "All I Want", but it always felt to me like just a lowest common denominator stopgap solution to bridge the gap between Rise Against albums. Well, now Rise Against is back, so let's see how this holds up.
89x, which has fallen so far out of touch with modern Alternative that it's barely even listenable anymore, had I think 4 songs from these guys in their rotation at one point last year. I'm like, "really, guys? With that much love for A Day To Remember? They're just so completely good but not great!"

I think Top 15-20 is a pretty good result for this. Hopefully their future releases can see far greater success.

Sweet. Funny that this has had a positive bullet for a week or so, but hits 10 with a negative.
