Album's to come out in February judging from the massive tweeting the band's doing.

One of the most underrated bands over the past ten years IMO. I can't wait for this. Amity Lane was good, but it just didn't compare to the "The Lonely Position of Neutral" & "True Parallels."

With Linkin Park alienating a lot of their 'Hybrid Theory' and 'Meteora' fans, this is a perfect time for one of the prime LP sound-alikes to rise up and fill the void for the masses. Another "Downfall" should have them in position to do some damage at active rock even though active rock radio seems to have completely forgotten them.

They needed something harder closer to "Downfall", this is a little bit too soft to make immediate impact.

You're probably right, though it has some pretty awesome moments, especially in the bridge.
And why is the quality of the audio streaming on their myspace so bad? It's like they uploaded the song with the wrong sample rate or something. It sounds kind of nasty with all the alias frequencies.

Hopefully this can make a dent in the charts. Their earlier stuff was quite strong.

The lyrics may be a bit emo, but it still kicks major ass and meets my expectations for sure. I'm really hoping this at least does something on Active.

Tunelab says this got sent to radio October 4th. I'm hoping there's an "official" adds date soon, though. But they're no longer on Geffen, they're on an Indie, which could be a problem when it comes to a radio push. |

Debuts at #50 on the mediabase rock chart. This needs an official adds date.

still can't believe that they had a song like hover and they didn't release it as a single, probably stronger is my favorite of them, this sounds decent too

^Agreed. "Hover" would have been huge on active I think. And given the state of alternative back then, it probably would have been big there as well.

I actually consider "Hover" to be one of the weakest songs from the first album. I would've preferred "Slipping Away" or "The Fear".

I liked "Finally". Everyone was still playing "Downfall", so no follow-up was go blow up, anyway.

The chorus isn't anywhere near as strong as so many of the others on the album. It almost goes nowhere. It hovers lol. |

So does the chorus of "Downfall". I don't think it stopped it from doing well. I don't really like the album anymore, but back when it was right up my alley, I remember "Hover" being my favorite song on the album. I'm sure if that album came out now, I'd think that it was mediocre at best with its guitar production being its one redeeming quality.

I still love that album and True Parallels, and "Downfall" is ten times better a song than "Hover". |

I haven't listened to either album in quite awhile, but both are incredible. Like I said earlier in the thread, they were one of the most underrated bands over the past decade IMO. As far as my favorite songs from "Lonely Position of Neutral," that's really hard to decide, but "Drop To Zero," "Take It All" and "Figure 8" stick out to me most. "Downfall" was the right single as an opener since it had a huge amount of energy to attract new listeners, but I wouldn't have chosen "Running From Me."

I don't know, I thought "Running From Me" was a fine follow-up. Actually, I'm not really sure why it tanked so hard after "Downfall". Seems like it would've at least done well at Active.

Nope. Now, "Hover", that song would have been a juggernaut.

Ahh but I was not smiling; I was wistfully reflecting on what could have been – the musical empire that TrustCompany might have built if only they'd released "Hover" as their follow-up single.
