XM says this is the new single. They promised a clip of the song this week, but I haven't heard it. I think they charted 5 rock singles from the last album, and release 9 or 10 to radio. Too soon??
EDIT : MODIFIED TITLE

Perhaps they're tempted to reconsider and release "Bitch Came Back" first, because.................y'know..............that bitch with the little smirk is still getting the best of Connolly, even after maxing all her credit cards and burning all her clothes! ;) Namaste, Lisping Hibiscus

I wouldn't go as far as genius, but that song rags on bad drivers, my biggest pet hate.

I rarely say something this negative, but I pretty much could care less about any new material from them anymore. I don't think any of their albums were bad at all, and obviously many people enjoyed "Scars & Souvenirs" as it had a plethora of singles released from it. I just got so sick of them after awhile. How many songs can they make about how their girlfriend broke up with them, now it's the end of the world, and they're going to do whatever it takes to get revenge.

Especially considering Connolly is happily married from all we know, it is interesting that he insists on relying on that sort of topic as opposed to...........well.............an umpteen number of songs gushing about how bad a girlfriend his wife is and syrupy string-laden power ballads professing his love for her.

Did I mention these guys are lyrical geniuses? Honestly, that's probably the best lyric of the whole song. Sometimes, I wonder if it is a poke at their general audience. That is the most positive thing I can possibly say about Theory... which obviously isn't saying much!

Theory was fine until Scars, which only has like, maybe four or five good songs on the whole disc, which is me being generous.

^ Scars was my least liked album as well, as there are a about a quarter of the disk I don't care for. It sounds too commercialized compared to their earlier material. I hope this sounds something like a track off their first album or like "Say Goodbye." But most likely it's going to be "Bad Girlfriend Pt. II". Which isn't bad, but kinda boring.

Hopefully it's kick-ass. I'm thinking it'll probably sound similar to "So Happy" and "Bad Girlfriend."

Probably will tear up Active. Not so sure about Alternative.

If y'all are wondering what the songs sounds like, you can hear it live on youtube. It's kinda like "No Surprise" meets what Dev said.

Yeah I found it yesterday: It's a pretty weak song. :( I want stuff like "Say Goodbye" and "Nothing Can Come Between Us" again!!! I think it sounds a bit like Social Distortion new stuff mixed with Post-grunge "So Happy" stuff.

I can't tell anymore if they're doing these songs to be ironic or what.

How does this sound like Social D, btw? This band gets worse with age.

Haven't listened yet...but I was really hoping this'd be more like "Santa Monica" or "Make Up Your Mind".

I actually like this. Its "Hate My Life" part two with slightly less dumb lyrics.

It's pretty catchy. Theory of a Deadman are my guilty pleasure for acts that don't have near as much talent as they think they do. Hopefully the next album will be a return to their early sound.
