I hate to say that I think "I Know It Hurts" would have charted better as the second single, but that's starting to look like the case. Bull. "Ghosts" is a far superior song to "I Know It Hurts", which again is one of the more generic tunes on the album. If a better song can't do better chartwise, a meat-and-potatoes song is not going anywhere.

Are you not seeing "Lowlife" fly up the chart right now?

just can't get enough of "I know it hurts" and "ghost of days gone by" looks like a certain top 10 hit in the coming days, overall i believe this era is their best so far

This is such a good song. One of my friends is a big Creed and Alter Bridge fan and he played me some of the album a few months back i didn't even know they had a new album out.

^I believe it can as well. I think where it peaks is ultimately dependent on how far it gets on active rock. If they somehow muster another #1, then I think this will approach or even hit top 20 on alternative. Right now, my bet is on it peaking at #6 on active which I guess would correspond to a mid-30's peak on Mediabase alternative, and roughly #30 on BDS/Billboard.

I like songs that morph that way but the sum of its parts don't seem shoehorned. "Let It Die" by the Foo Fighters is another good example of that kind of song. Namaste, lisping HIBISCUS

"Let It Die" is one of if not my favorite Foo Fighters song, partially for that reason. Instrumentation (high-register acoustic guitar and electric guitar blend) and its harmonic structure (major/minor modal mixture) make it to me the most interesting single I've heard of theirs, and up there with "Come Alive" and "Aurora" for their overall most interesting song I've heard from them.
I actually find their new album completely and utterly overrated as I think their last record, while inconsistent, had 3 or 4 of the best songs they've ever written. Wasting Light is consistent, but it never hits the peak of Echoes even if its lows are far less low.
And on the subject of "Ghost", I'd say the aforementioned reasons also contribute to my love for this song as well. I still hope it can summon the radio strength to go top 5 on active and top 40 on alternative.

Using this thread as an excuse to post my three videos from the Alter Bridge concert yesterday. Also, any thoughts on single 3 should they have one? I daresay a peak in the top 5 would warrant another one.

They'll get one alright. I'd pick something more progressive like "Show Me A Sign", "Slip To The Void", or "Words Darker Than Their Wings" if I got my choice. If it's about making the more obvious choices though, I think rockmaniac's make the most sense depending on whether they wanna go melodic or heavy. And I think "Make It Right" would be a mistake.
