That has to be one of the worst album titles of all time. I mean it's sorta clever I guess, but it just seems like a random non sequitur that has absolutely nothing to do with the album. I'd probably find it funnier if I liked any of their music.

I dislike this song less than the two charting singles off the last album. That's still not saying much. I'll be rooting for these guys to fail.

I gotta agree. But what did you expect from these guys?

I had no expectations because, while I've seen the name before, this is the first I've ever heard from them.

But you think New Medicine sucks? This song, "Invincible", and "Last Stand" are way more generic and obnoxious than "Laid" to my ears anyway.

^ Didn't really like "Invincible", and never heard "Last Stand" enough to judge it. But I can listen to this song, keep in mind, Nickelback was my favorite band for 4 years prior to my knowledge of Mumford & Sons, so I'm kinda used to generic stuff.
As for New Medicine's "Laid", I've already stated out why I don't like that song in it's thread. ;)

*reads*
I agree that Adelitas Way's singer has a less annoying voice than the guy from New Medicine, but from a compositional standpoint, I like "Laid" a lot better than the three charting singles from Adelitas Way. Actually, I remember thinking the third single off Adelitas Way's last album "Scream" (which didn't do anything) was decently good, I might have liked it more than I like "Laid" (I'd give both roughly a B or B-). But the songs from AW that I've heard more than once I've disliked.

"Scream" is their best, but they didn't release it as a single. I prefer New Medicine, so there ya go.

But they did release it as a third single. Wikipedia doesn't list it and FMQB doesn't have it, but my station tested it on their hit or diss feature, and it was added by enough active rock stations that I'm pretty confident that their label sent it around but didn't give it a legitimate push.

I also figured that an adds date was forthcoming and that someone else would make the thread then. And by the time it seemed like it wasn't going to go for adds, the song was done at radio anyway.

Because I don't like Adelitas Way enough to care. Haha. I don't remember viewing anything about it on any page of allaccess, either, but I'll take your word for it. Clearly not the strongest push. This one looks bound for the top 10, on the other hand.

Thank YOU.
What did "Invincible" peak at on alternative?
