But this song is musically and lyrically better than everything on their last album basically. Would you agree to that?

Yah but at least they never sampled another Ozzy Osbourne song for this lead single.

Yeah.... This is so commercialized and smoothed out it makes for unpleasant listening. It's clean-cut, boring emo-pop-rap. Agreed 100%. It's better than what they were doing before. That has to count for something. Whoa, what just happened here? I'm in full agreement with lockebox and not pen. Their old material at least had personality. And melodically, the hooks on half the album's songs I found oddly compelling, in spite of the atrocious lyrical content. I'll take that over this generic tripe any day.

"You f**kin' F-A-G-S vs. complete and utter snooze-fest. Why are we even arguing over which is better when this group should simply cease to exist. And Pen, I know what you're gonna say about how I don't have to like it, but I should accept that other people do; but between these guys and Hinder, can we PLEASE make at least TWO exceptions to that rule. Goddammit, there is an auto-correct on F-A-G-S to "male who is into other maless." I guess that proves my point all the more that these guys are both juvenile and to some people, fairly offensive without any cleverness to back it up. And in the case of "Undead", let's remember that was someone else's hook, not theirs.

Their old stuff made me angry when I listened to it that bands like this existed. The new one just sounds like a B-side Linkin Park track. Which I can dig.

I'm suprised this is shooting up Active so fast. This is more alt-leaning than "Undead", but I guess they're too busy with indie these days.

I noticed that too and heard the song yesterday for the first time. Easily the most Alternative-like song I've heard from them yet. I'm surprised it even charted on Active.

^ Coming of a Top 10 hit from their last album and a Top 30 follow-up? I fully expected this to chart on active, no matter how it sounded.
