October 25th is the drop date for the second single from Population: Declining. This is a decent enough option but I would've preferred either "My Reward" or "Evil Has A Name".

I would have gone for "My Reward" also. This should chart, at least.

My Reward, Runaway or 16 Cradles sound great, I'm happy that the 2nd single is one of them I guess though none of them can top Take Back the Fear

I've heard this song on Music Choice metal before I think. It wasn't THAT heavy, so I was surprised to hear it there next to Iwrestledabearonce, Chimaira, and Meshuggah rather than on the Rock channel.
This song was meh from what I remember.

Well it was the most added at active, with 9 adds, so I would expect a strong start.

even if this will do better from "Take Back the Fear" i won't be able to like it more, no matter what good luck to them, hopefully 16 Cradles or My Reward as 3rd single

"Take Back the Fear" was a grower for me, but I ended up loving it after it had already spent 20 weeks on the active  . But this was instint for me, probably because of how radio-friendly it is and I was getting right into TBTF. "My Reward" was probably a more risky choice because of it's heavy sounds. It reminds me of a 5FDP-Thornley-Metallica monster. Probably why you guys like it so much. But for me right now, "Runaway" is better than "My Reward". Never heard any other tracks though. |

I had the opposite situation. "Take Back the Fear" was instant with me; this one took a little longer for me to get into.

I had the same situation as Ɖǰʘ. I expect this to surpass the peak of "Take Back the Fear", aswell.

u guys think it's upsetting that the new album didn't make the Billboard 200 chart, like what happened with Adelitas Way, Veer Union, Since October, etc.?

Whoa. Cool video, but all in all, very disturbing and creepy, especially how the lead singer looks and how similar he is to his cartoon character.

Well most of them albums came out before the success of their lead singles, but it's still disappointing that they never climbed in sales enough to debut in the Top 200. And My Darkest Days has digital sales and a decent amount of promotion on their side, which helped them debut in the Top 40.

This powered its way into the top 30, it's slowed up a bit since then, though. Top 20 still looks on, but I would like to see it go higher.

Strange chart run for this, which now looks to be over. Looked like it was gonna be big at one stage.
"16 Cradles" for single #3.
