"Life Must Go On" is probably the worst song that they've ever recorded. And the fact that you only like one Bushwhack song shows that you clearly have no taste. I was actually referring to "Wonderful Life," and the song in the thread title could possibly by the worst song they've recorded. And actually, "Life Must Go On" is a damn good ballad. Although, I realize the words "damn good ballad" when used together don't compute for you ;)

Not understanding the hate for this song at all. It's caught them at their catchiest, and would be huge on Active. I still want GODGB for single #2, however.

^ It's not that I hate the song, it's just i don't want them to go the easy route and pick the most generic catchy song. I want them to pick a authetic choice, and based on how "GODGB" sounds and the momentum from "Isolation", it should be able to do well.

I loved "Watch Over You" and would consider "Wonderful Life" a ballad (Which is a good choice for a single, you're right about that, sorry about misunderstanding you). And Coldplay is one of my 10 favorite bands so it's not like I just like heavy stuff.

And two of my four favorite Sevendust songs are their beautiful acoustic ballads "Xmas Day" and "Angel's Son". I'm a sucker for beautiful and pretty. I just don't like formulaic and lame...which I admit are subjective adjectives...but "Life Must Go On" sounded too much like the big Creed hits that also fit those descriptions for me. I mean, be aware that when it comes to your favorite bands, my favorite Breaking Benjamin song is "Forget It" and my favorite Skillet song is "Rebirthing" which are both beautiful songs (even if "Rebirthing" does have plenty of drive to go with the beauty). I don't know what my favorite Red song is, but I have a feeling that it's going to be something off the new album based on the clips I've heard. I'm a big fan of versatility and contrast. I don't like ballads that I find cheesy, but I'm not the one-dimensional metalhead you pegged me for either. That said, Meshuggah is br00tal. \m/ Oh, and you will eventually like more than one song by my band. Our next album will convert you. I'm very confident.

Pen send me some audition mp3's, and I'll gladly listen. We don't officially have a singer yet, though we do have a guy we've recently been working with from Miami, FL who will hopefully pan out if people like him enough and we can make the geography work. You guys can check out his take on "Stonewall" on our facebook, and let me know if you think he's who we should be gunning for as our full-time guy. His version goes under the working title of "Stone And Progress". www.facebook.com/bushwhack And if you wanna like us, I wouldn't complain either. :) Oh and Alter Bridge rocks.

I've pretty much grown out of A7X, I haven't even listened to their new album yet, just the two singles, and I honestly don't even remember the two songs you mentioned... I like Creed. Why should I "be aware"? I've never understood why every BB fan hates "Forget It" and "Rain," I found them both at least enjoyable. "Rebirthing" isn't a ballad, but it is a top 3 Skillet song for me. "Feed the Machine" or "Buried Beneath" as recommendations for the metal head. "Lie to Me" and "Who We Are" is you're feeling like some mid-tempo rock, and "Let It Burn" and "Not Alone" for the ballads. Honestly, the Clint Lowery co-penned track may be the weakest on the album. I haven't even looked at that thread since I jokingly posted in it...in fact I had no idea what you kept referring to until recently.

Because you challenged him on his love of ballads, implying you are not aware that he does.

I thought that's what he meant about being aware but I've never thought of "Rebirthing" as a ballad.

Yeah you're right it's not a ballad. But it's a slow/epic enough song that it shows that I'm more into that kinda aesthetic than some faster in-your-face type song. It has the same soaring quality as many ballads that might make it "balladesque".
I hope you get some sleep soon, dude. I just finished school for good about a month ago, and one thing I certainly don't miss is the stressful homework, deadlines, and sleep deprivation. Stay strong, man.
