Lead single from their upcoming album, "Dirty Work." Under CNM on Allaccess. No way will this chart, I just wanted to show the Alt. folks that they've really sold out.  |

They said on their new cd they have pop songs and rock songs. Makes sense they'd make a poppier song their lead single. There are some rockier tracks on the album though, they are going to release another song before the cd drops; its called "Under a Paper Moon" watch out for that.

I remember my Alt station spinning "Weightless" a few times. Maybe they'll score a Top 50 from this album.

These guys' name sums up how I feel about them very nicely.  |

"Dear Maria, Count Me In" and their cover of "Umbrella" were ok. Too generic for pop-punk.

^^I liked those songs but I agree that they were too "pop-punk" that kind of music really doesn't transcend to the mainstream anymore. I'm interested to hear their whole new album bc they are trying to get bigger but they'll need more universally appealing songs this time around.

I'm not a fan, but can you really blame them for "selling out"? I put it in quotes because it's not like that style of pop-punk was un-commercial whenever ATL were doing it.

I really enjoyed "Remembering Sunday" and their older stuff...but they've gone downhill. Lyrics are really horrible on this too. Except I lol'd at the Kesha part.

That was my first thought when I read the sellout comment too. Not sure All Time Low can sell out when they didn't exactly have much artistic cred with which to begin. |

Around the right people they did. They actually started their careers covering Blink songs...if you listen to their Put Up or Shut Up EP or whatever it is, you can see how much they've sold out. If your definition of selling out is veering away from your original sound toward music that will sound good on Pop radio, then yes they sold out. |

I don't really see how starting your career playing Blink songs implies selling out seeing as how Blink was always marketed toward the mainstream.
