This sounds average. Their single from the greatest hits package was far stronger.

Yeah that's true. Their greatest hits single was their best in awhile, and it didn't even chart. 'Tis a shame.

Not that I was expecting much out of a first listen of this, it's better than I expected. Definitely more ballad-ish than usual. Still wasn't close to blowing me away though.

Well, it's on iTunes. The reviews of this song make me.... LOL. I guess a lot of rock fans are not fans of sappy love songs like I am. LOL. I love Sappy Love Songs even if they are by artists i hate as long as it's catchy.

This is taking its sweet time to reach the top 50. Definitely is gonna struggle to make top 30 at this rate.

This reminds me of Staind's "All I Want"...except not nearly as good, and by a crappy band.

Saliva is better than a lot of people give them credit for.

This song certainly doesn't help them... extremely average and his voice sounds weak.

I just listened to this song out of curiosity and wow, I wasn't really expecting this for their first single from the album. What the hell are they thinking?

This is a disappointment, and I've liked all their singles up until now. I can't see it reaching the top 40, and I doubt they will recover by sending out a stronger follow-up (if one exists).

Haha. Well, it's currently at #51 with a negative, so it's not looking too promising.

Theres nothing i can do that get's me over you.....theres nothing....theres nothing.
He does say Nothing a lot in the song. haha.
I will leave no comment about what i think of this band as a whole....but i like Rest In Pieces and Nothing by them. I'm not really into these guys musical ability's. Click Click Boom was average and Always was a little above average. But this song is catchy as heck though.

Their lead singles do at least reasonably on Active...
Guess their time is almost up.

Well, this song doesn't sound like a strong active or alt lead single. It's stuck in between sounding too pop for rock and too rock for pop, which doesn't really bid it well for radio success.
Plus his vocals during the chorus are disasterous.

They should have released this and not wasted it on the greatest hits set. "Nothing" is just dull, and this is coming from someone who actually quite liked "Bleed for Me" & "How Could You?".

I couldn't agree more on your "time to shine" statement, now about nothing i think we have to give it some time, at least i believe it will be able to hit the top 40 at some point

It flew under everyone's radar, but I didn't think "Southern Girls" was too bad. Very Crue-ish.

The song even starts out by being self-referential, which is an artistic maneuver that can typically fly over people's heads, much like a jumbo jet flying over the head of a deaf man.

I mean, it's just trying to be ironic. It delivers something you wouldn't expect by giving you something you've already heard. I'm surprised the hipsters never caught on.
