I love the lyric video for the song, it's awesome. It could work as an autual music video as well.

I think this has taken around the same amount of time as "So Happy" did to make the top 10, so no surprises really. Here's to praying this doesn't reach top spot.

Here's to praying it does. I was SOOOOO happy when TOAD got their first #1. And their first charting single on the Hot 100. And their first Top 30 album debut on Billboard 200. And their first HAC Top 5 hit. And their first Pop Top 20 hit. And their first UK charting single. Scars & Souvenirs was a massive step for TOAD on the charts, but my least favorite album so far by them.

Not to mention their first Top 10 on Alternative as well.

Well when you put 9 (or was it 10?) singles out to radio, you're bound to find some hits here and there.

That laugh was rather scary. Made all the worse by the static. It's like you're hearing a demon escape from Hell.

This song is on the Transformers 3 soundtrack and proves they are damn good song writers when they want to be.

The chances of me buying Incubus are shrinking by the single. I may be stuck with the Science/Crow/Make trifecta the rest of their career.

Yeah "The Truth Is (I Lied About Everything)" sounds like it could've been slapped together by a 12-year old. Sad thing is that it'll probably be one of the worst songs on the album and probably will be a future single. "Hurricane" sounds promising, though.

I mean theres something seriously wrong with the band if they feel the need to include such lazy and pathetic songs in their albums. "Hate My Life" always gets slagged but it had a little charm compared to "The Truth Is...".

I consider "Hate My Life" to be a fun anthem to sing along too, in which all the lines actually rhyme, unlike "The Truth Is...".

Wow, i was trying to be nice earlier, but listen to the lyrics of "Truth Is" in this video. :o Lead singer seems like a dick in real life. Maybe that's just me. Anyway, yeah lyrically it sounds horrible, but it's almost like in my mind I can forgive them for that because I just like their sound and know their ability to make great lyrical music, not just stuff that most of the population likes. The sad part though, is that alot of these rock bands are trying so hard to be like mainstream or make these lyrically horrible songs just to send to the radio - when pop radio is barely eating up rock songs lately anyway.

"Scars & Souvenirs" has just been certified Platinum. Deftones' "Around the Fur" has reached the same feat.

More like their first certified album in the US. ;) Sucks to see this song struggling on Alt.

Yeah but they've never had even a Gold album before, so I was just pointing that out.
