As weird as it is, I actually really like "Indy Kidz" xD I voted for Always Something however, since I haven't really given some of the other tracks a fair enough chance yet though.

Ha, Indy Kidz +2 spins this week! Still think this will be Aberdeen eventually.

After the third listen, I decided not to keep this album. I have to admit that I'm pretty disappointed with it after a pretty good debut one. No songs, not even "Shake Me Down" really grab my attention and there just doesn't seem to be any flow going from song to song.

I'm guessing Aberdeen will be the 2nd single - my radio station started recently spinning it.

I haven't gone beyond track four with it so far though.

Matt Schultz referred to Aberdeen as "their new single" in Fuse interview. Not sure if that's official enough?

What a damn shame. I don't think there is anything special about "Aberdeen." "Right Before My Eyes" is just waiting for a #1.

Around My Head has been sneaking in airplay this week. I agree Right Before My Eyes will be a single soon. But Aberdeen seems like the obvious choice. Around My Head reminds me way too much of Shake Me Down.

with "Shake Me Down' slowly losing spins I think the second single will be going for adds in the next few weeks. The album has potental to have 4 really good charting singles with "Aberdeen" "Right Before My Eyes" and "Around My Head" it's just gonna be tricky to decide which one won't kill the momentum of shake me down...

"Around My Head" gets the nod. Goes for adds May 17th.

Well, scratch that. Seeing as how I was asked to the change the title from one of the moderators/owners I think I should bring this back to page 1.
That stated, this is one of my least favorites from the CD. But they got away with it last album with Wicked and Ear having nearly the exact same chorus. Maybe they know what they're doing.
And with 0 votes, I think the listeners here don't agree with this one either.

Yeah. At least Aberdeen or Right Before My Eyes would've shown a little diversity.

I wonder if this'll do an "In One Ear" and start flying up once it goes for adds.

This might be their first single I don't really like at all. Hello, Aberdeen??

^ I agree. I don't like this one very much. It was very hard to get through. On the other hand, however, "Aberdeen" was more accessible and I enjoyed a live performance of it on YouTube.

Lol, I third this opinion. Aberdeen was much better suited for radio than this.

I think this will be break their streak of Top 5s on Alt.

Agree, but it's technically a streak of #1s at this point.

They do have a streak of #1's, but I think what TRN is saying is that they've never failed to hit top 5 before. Whereas "Ain't No Rest For The Wicked" didn't hit #1.

This will still probably reach Top 10 nonetheless.

True, but remember In One Ear only peaked at #63 as the second single before its re-release. So actually their top 5 streak is exactly the same as their #1 streak.

"Back Against the Wall" was the second single. I'm going to regret this. Artie is actually not hallucinating this time. Cage The Elephant's album was released in the UK in 2008, and "Free Love" and "In One Ear" were the first two singles before "Ain't No Rest For The Wicked" was released and became their breakthrough. However, those were UK singles. The album was released here in the US in 2009, and thus "Ain't No Rest For The Wicked" was their first single over here. So if we're strictly going by their US chart runs, then Artie is wrong.
