Is it just me or does anyone else hear Brad's voice differently than 3 Doors Downs' previous work. His voice sounds deeper and older. Not really, minimal changes if anything. Granted, given that he's a smoker and was only 21 (turning 22 later in the year) when The Better Life came out, it's pretty amazing how little it's changed.

I don't know, I think his voice is getting deeper with age. And yes, although I do like his voice, the band's material is aged-sounding and unoriginal. They should just o all rock or all HAC, because that's basically their only choices now. And I didn't know Brad was a smoker.

Interesting. I just found this interview with Matt (the lead guitarist) that someone posted from the band's official forum (it's dated Jan 30th so obviously no talk about delays or what have you). socialthemagazine.com/blog/2011/01/30/rallywood-social-interviews-matt-roberts-of-3-doors-down/Apparently he says that they picked When You're Young because it had that usual/signature/whatever you wanna call it 3DD riff. Also it's interesting that he says there are 5-6 potential candidates for singles in his mind and he hasn't felt that way since TBL.

what's weird is that the delay of the album hasn't been made official. no official statements from the band, the record label, nothing.

If it's one thing that could be said about this era it's that 3DD and their team CLEARLY do not realize the full extent of how much things have changed since '08. I mean, when the single was released to radio, they didn't sync it up with the iTunes release and that was incredibly frustrating to have a song you could only hear on the airwaves but not be able to purchase. I mean, who does that anymore? Usually if it's a difference of a few days, fine. But what they did was stupid.
I also have no doubt that it's pushed back but keeping mum on this is rather strange. You'd think they'd fess up/deny the changes to the release date once Tunelab posted word of it. I'll keep an eye out for recent interviews.

It's now confirmed. The following was written by the band's drummer Greg Upchurch:
Everything is crazy right now. It has been pushed back but not sure when sorry to say. It will be released at some point. I'm guessing sometime late spring early summer. I'm not sure. Sorry dudes xx

^I wonder if their label is waiting for them to write a better "lead single"...

Well, yeah, but they can't exactly get a second shot at a lead single. People would view it as a second single. Unless, they wanna cover their asses, and say that this was a teaser single.

with the push back of the album, I see them get a second single before the album comes out, like Creed did when they released Overcome and Rain before Full Circle came out

Yeah, that worked out well for them, didn't it? I don't know why they did that when "Overcome" was still rising. This is completely different situation, all together. "Overcome" stormed in to the top 5, this is tottering along in the mid-teens.

Isn't "Shine" going to be on the album too? That would make any new single the third.

Oh sure, I could just buy it as a single. If I was into that sort of thing.

You might have to if it's not attached to an album per se.

Even though I knew most of these before, I gotta say this.
Holy Ratt and Limp Bizkit remakes! ;)
While I've heard of What's Left and On the Run, apparently Heaven is supposed to be very moving. Wish I could hear that. :/

Yeah, seems like that. Outside of knowing what Time of My Life/On the Run sound like (and they are rock songs), the only other ones like that would probably be Round and Round, Race For the Sun (then again, maybe it's just because the title reminds me of Default's Hiding From the Sun) and My Way. Even if we're completely wrong and judging a book by its cover (or a CD by its tracklist ), it's fun to see how predictions play out.

I don't think you can really tell what kind of album it's going to be by the titles. Songs like "By My Side" and "So I Need You" from the first album and "This Time" from the second would seem like Hot AC songs based on their titles. They're not.

Songs like "By My Side" and "So I Need You" from the first album and "This Time" from the second would seem like Hot AC songs based on their titles. They're not. The titles, overall, just suggest to me that the material is going to be more emotionally-driven and, more specifically, in a more feminine vein. Sometimes looks can be deceiving, surely. But even so, a majority of the time when I gaze at song titles in popular music, and predict how they're going to sound, I am quite accurate at proving my instincts correct! ;) There's just very little attitude and/or testosterone behind the titles here. That's by no means a bad thing whatsoever. I just predict this will be their most (overall) feminine record yet. Namaste, Lisping Hibiscus

I guess my point is that 3 Doors Down songs tend to have titles like these regardless of how heavy they are.
