Lead single from the album "Union Black". Jacoby Shaddix of Papa Roach features, too.

This is insanely awesome. I can't wait to hear the rest of the album. I feel like it's been way too long since I heard me some new Skindred. I'm sure my station will be all over this once it's released even though I don't expect it to do anything on Alternative. I'm hoping they finally chart on Active though.

They've charted on Active a few times...
"Nobody" - #14
"Pressure" - #30
"Electric Avenue" hit the top 50, too.

I actually like this quite abit after the 1st listen. The reggae/Jamacian accent is kinda out of place but makes it interesting. And Jacob Shaddix should help the band chart on Active and possibly alternative as well again.
Also like the heaviness of the guitar riff. :)

Yeah, I could have sworn they did because I remember hearing "Nobody" all the time in the summer of '04. It even charted on Alternative at #23. I'm not sure why I said that previous comment of "finally" charting on Active. |

Yeah, they've done more than just those. "Ratrace" was parked right outside the top 40 for awhile without breaking it. "Trouble" almost went top 40 as well. Both of those were bigger on active rock than "Electric Avenue." I think. And "Stand For Something" may have even hit the top 50, if not, definitely top 60.
I don't like this as much as most Skindred songs, but if Jacoby Shaddix has the name power to help them return to radio relevance, then I'm cool with it paving the way for hopefully superior songs.

Yeah, I was gonna mention "Rat Race" & "Trouble", but I wasn't entirely sure. "Stand for Something" certainly didn't hit the top 50. They seem to be out of favor, so it'll be interesting to see how this does.

No adds date? I've heard the first half of the album now, and it's AWESOME!

Yeah, damn good album. The second half slightly falls off the pace compared to the first half, for me, but it's still solid. Doesn't look like they're trying for radio, disappointingly.
