Jamie will be disappointed. I would have gone for "Karma".

I saw this coming but I wish they'd gone for "Better Place" or "Nowhere" instead.

Well, top 30 is better than their recent third singles. It may even do better than that if lucky. And didn't "Angel's Son" chart as a Snot single?

Sevendust did contribute the song to the Lynn Strait memorial album, but it was always written by them and it rereleased as a single with a new video after Animosity came out.

Pen, you're wrong and you're right. "Angel's Son" was not a follow-up single. It was a lead single off a compilation album between album eras for Sevendust. When it was later re-released under the Sevendust name as the third single off Animosity, it failed to chart. "Forever" reached #15 on active, easily making it their highest charting follow-up single on active. Your point about Sevendust writing the song is completely true, though I heard Sonny May of Snot was at least involved in the process which is part of why those chose him to replace Clint in the first place.
As for this as a single choice, it screams single as much as anything on the album other than maybe "Confessions (Without Faith)" which I think would be their best shot at a chart success with this being second. I would love "Better Place" as a single, but it needed to be second or fourth because of the alternating mellower/heavier single pattern they have going. "Karma" would have been a fine choice as well.

Your point about Sevendust writing the song is completely true, though I heard Sonny May of Snot was at least involved in the process which is part of why those chose him to replace Clint in the first place. I've never heard of Sonny Mayo being involved in writing that song and he's not given any kind of writing credit either, so unless they totally gypped him, I'm standing by it being a Sevendust-only creation. The only authors credited with it are Lajon and Clint, whereas all the other entries on Strait Up give credit to the members of Snot, since they were made from the remains of what would have been Snot's second album. "Angel's Son" was completely a Sevendust creation. As for the single run, I've finally found the source of my confusion. Wikipedia has "Angel's Son" listed as being a 2002 single and lists the chart data at 11 and 15, but Billboard only lists the data under Strait Up. And yet there were two videos for "Angel's Son" which implies two chart runs. I just found an MTV article which explains everything: "Angel's Son" was a European single for Animosity and the video was geared toward that audience at the same time "Live Again" went for adds here in the States. Someone merged the data for the song on Wikipedia, probably to save space. So we can compromise: I'm right about the writing credits, but wrong about the chart run. And that was not entirely my fault.

Not at all, just slight confusion going on. "Angel's Son" wasn't a follow-up single, so my point stands that "Forever" is their most successful follow-up. I actually thought "Angel's Son" charted as "Snot feat. Lajon Witherspoon (or Sevendust)"

Well it's an acoustic song. Clint plays the guitar and Lajon sings. Not much room for any other musicians on that thing.

"Angel's Son" was actually the song that made me a fan of Sevendust in the first place when it was charting on Modern Rock, so I remember its chart run vividly. It was after "Waffle" and before "Praise". It was listed on the Billboard chart at the time as Strait Up f/ Lajon Witherspoon. It's interesting that the compilation album name became the artist name, but I'm sure they did it that way to maximize the promotion of the album when radio DJs announced the track.
And you may be right Pen about Sonny not being involved, but I remember on the Sevendust fan site there was an argument about Sonny's involvement with "Angel's Son". That same style then supposedly showed up in his writing of "The Past" which was also debated upon whether it was Sonny, Morgan, or John who was the primary writer on the song.
I think this will be their most successful 3rd single besides "Face To Face" and may come close to matching it. We'll see.

This already has a negative bullet. I hope it's only a temporary setback, but that's ominous as far as it going top 20 like I picked it to. At this point, top 30 is no guarantee.

I would have guessed that going in. They needed to come close to matching the peak of "Forever" to warrant a 4th single. They'll probably have an album ready for early next year anyway so it's all good. Hopefully that album's lead single can make progress on their lead single success they had with "Unraveling".

And this song is dead. However, Clint Lowery just released his second acoustic album under his side project Hello Demons...Meet Skeletons with the album entitled Words That Sing Well. Hard copies can be bought here: www.clintlowery.net/Song samples and digital download available at iTunes and Amazon. My copy hasn't arrived yet, but the clips sound really good. I wish "Summertime" could be a single, because the bit that I have heard of it sounds as beautiful as "Angel's Son" or "Xmas Day".
