It should be interesting to see how this does considering "I've Got Friends" had a very surprising great chart run and the follow up "Shake It Out" did decently.

I'm wondering if this could possibly flop, like Ludo's last lead single.  |

Well Ludo's last lead single was terrible in comparison to "Love Me Dead". If this song is any good, these guys shouldn't get shafted in the same way.

Well, as uninterested as radio turned out to be in playing "Go-Getter Greg", one would have to believe that "Love Me Dead" and its top ten finish might have been one of those quality purchases.
I happened to have been shuffled into hearing "Shake It Out" a couple times this week, reminding me of what an underrated track that was, and now we get news of this new release. I'll be anxiously awaiting!

plus Ludo is a little on the pop side if I remember. As long as this track is pretty good, it'll get some play. I'm excited for their new cd; "Mean Everything To Nothing" was a great cd throughout.

I don't know why Ludo got thrown into this, as they're not comparable bands at all. With the indie-leaning trend on Alt gaining ever more traction, these guys should do very well upon their return. I wouldn't be surprised if it ends up going Top 5 or even #1, without even hearing the song.
Really looking forward to this, but I really need to study up on their full discography first.

Just heard the song. Doesn't sound like a lead single at all. I like it a lot though.

crazy how its a ballad-like song with a slow buildup.. It's a great song but who knows how it will perform on the radio.

Looks like they're struggling with this song. I'll probably be wrong, and this'll end up picking up again and bolt into the Top 20.

One of my purchases over the weekend. After one listen, I was very impressed with this album.
