I listened to that sample of the audio and I can guarantee some of y'all aren't gonna like that song at all. Autotune and quite a bit of studio trickery is used but it 'could' be a big hit as it's different but not too different for a radio station.

I can guarantee some of y'all aren't gonna like that song at all. And? Not everyone likes every single song. It would be pretty weird if that were the case. I'm not against autotune if it's used well, but I don't think that's the case here. The clip started off promising but as soon as the vocals kicked in, my first thought was "this will be very polarizing to country radio listeners". And the thing is, if it weren't for the autotune, this would probably stand a much greater chance at becoming a hit. And yes I really do think it makes that much of a difference. But the autotune makes it sound like some sort of Weird Al song or almost like the autotune in some European dance song (Basshunter anyone?) The chorus sounds fine and the production isn't bad at all but I think the autotune alone (and the fast-paced lyrics don't exactly help) will make this a polarizing tune to many radio listeners.

Here's the full audio for anyone brave enough to make it all the way through. I honestly can't believe this is Jerrod Niemann - what a mess. I can't believe someone known for such taste could release...this. I'll stop short of calling him a sellout but it certainly makes you wonder. To make matters worse his voice is horribly ill-suited for this kind of music. Jerrod's a great singer, but he lacks range, and this song really exposes that. Even for frat-boy country this doesn't seem to be very good, although I realize I'm probably the wrong person to judge that.

That clip was horrible. I don't even want to hear the full version after that. For me, the auto-tune in the verse ruins any potential that song has. Wouldn't be sad at all if this flopped. However, personal feelings aside, I still think this will struggle. I don't think country radio or it's listeners will embrace this song.

We generally like to avoid "you" statements when posting, as it's not talking about the song. But my intent wasn't to sound snarky, so no harm, no foul.
After listening to this in full, I'm pretty disappointed that Jerrod decided to go with a song like this. I think the lyrics are pretty rough here, and he's proven he can do so much better.

For the record, I don't like this at all. As a matter of fact, this song is basically the definition of everything that is wrong with country music today... techno beat, autotune, loudness, over-production... this is all of it wrapped up into one.
It's sad, really, because Jerrod is so much better than this.

Yikes, he and Jamey Johnson are my favorite male singers, counting only artists less than 90 years old. He has a responsibility to me. He can be original, I respect that; but this clip doesn't make sense. Maybe it's a parody? Yes, that's it. This isn't supposed to be taken seriously.

He sounds more like Luke Bryan on this song, from the clip I've heard.

Wow. This makes me dizzy...
Jerrod's music and style are just way too odd. The production of Jerrod's vocals in this song are just unbearable in my opinion. Radio will likely never warm up to him unless he conforms more to the style of more mainstream artists like Luke Bryan, Jason Aldean, Keith Urban, etc, which wouldn't necessarily be a good thing, though. Despite Jerrod having experienced top 5 success with both his first two singles, I don't think he'll ever get a hit again unless he, in a way, "sells out." I guess I respect Jerrod for his unique music, but I never really have liked his sound. I highly doubt "Drink to That All Night" will do much on the chart, but I suspect Niemann may develop a cult following similar to a lot of artists who never experience much radio success, provided Arista keeps him around long enough for such a fan base to develop, which will take a big digital seller and possibly a song that can make it at least to the top 20 so Jerrod can get airplay exposure.

This is an instant station changer. I thought Luke's "That's My Kind of Night" was going to be the worst song to take us through the end of this frat boy year, but here we go again. Congrats Jerrod and songwriters for giving us yet another "I love drinking all night with hands up in the air" type of country song that I've come to despise. Glad the pocket books get heavier of the songwriters and artists while they spew out this crap to the country music audience.

This song is terrible. I hope this flops and I'll be turning the station every time it comes on. The verse is the problem...that wordy auto-tune part is disgusting. The chorus and bridge improve slightly, but not enough to counteract the disaster that is the verse. I know I may be coming on too strong, but I really can't stand what I'm hearing here. I've never been a fan of Jerrod or his style, but his other songs are masterpieces compared to this.

I feel like, for the most part, I can tell when a song is going to have a big adds date. I'm not trying to be arrogant here, but I recall myself thinking that Kacey's "Merry Go 'Round", Jake's "Barefoot Blue Jean Night", Thomas Rhett's "It Goes Like This", and Kip Moore's "Somethin' 'Bout A Truck" would all be break-out hits just based on the 'feel' I was getting from early hype, radio tours, etc.
But the ad for Jerrod's song in tonight's Country Aircheck issue says this song already has more than 40 stations committed for adds date on October 21, and that baffles me. I figured a decent number of stations would jump on this because it is a lead single from Jerrod, but I didn't think a ton of stations would take a lot of interest in this so early on. This song just screams "polarizing" to me.
I guess what I'm trying to say is that I think I usually get a good 'feel' for when a song will get off to a hot start, but I didn't see that at all here. I'm not saying that means this will be a big hit or anything; just that I'm surprised such a big number of stations are excited about this, because I honestly think it's a pretty terrible song.

First of all, thank you all for allowing me to post as this is my first. All the veteran forum members are extremely interesting to read and has fueled my passion for country music. But this song made me post. This industry is gotten my blood boiling. The frat boy, party, have one night stand, lazy songwriting, and catchy hook epidemic has gone too far. I thought that no one top 1994 in worst song of the year category.Then Thats my kind of night came along. And no this atrocious tune. The chorus is actually passable.Not good but ok. But those verses are a disgrace to country music. Auto tune is frekin everywhere,and jerrods vocals just don't hold up in this song.How can The Warren Brothers who wrote songs like Anyway and Blank Sheet of Paper write such a horrible song.I can only think of 1 thing....money.That is whats selling now and being played on radio.I pray to God this song stalls on the charts but I saw 40 committed stations already... Ugh...Hopefully this trend ends sooner rather than later or god forbid never.

Now that I've listened to this more carefully, I'm more convinced than ever that this is a parody. The purpose of the auto-tune is to make him sound as much as possible like Luke Bryan. I think he's making fun of the trendy (and bad) songs that are dominating the chart.
Maybe I'm giving him too much credit. Still, Jerrod is such a smart guy with an unusual sense of humor and I can't believe he's 100% serious with this release.

I actually really like the feel of this song it has a great beat to jam to. I figure since it seems I'm the only one around these forums that actually enjoys the frat boy music, I would give my take on this. I loved his first single lover lover and his second single what do you want I can't remember if that album got a third single so it must not have had a huge impact. I liked his first single on the second album which was shining on me but I didn't like only god could love you more. I don't know why it just seemed like a song that was really well written but not something he belonged singing as it seemed like it required way more vocal range than he had. This song while it has a lot of Auto tune is his attempt to capitalize on a fad that has been showing great success and I really like it. Maybe the lyrics aren't reinventing the wheel but why does every song have to make some statement. He seems like a fun loving guy so this seems like a song he would enjoy singing and I think it will be a big success for him. I saw him in concert two years ago and his band played the devil went down to Georgia on a guitar so I definitely see a fun loving side to him and I can see him enjoying singing this and can see it hitting the too of the Chris just like Luke Bryan and others with similar songs

I dislike the frat boy songs but I find myself liking this. Maybe. And I don't intend to be confrontational, but is it remotely possible that you could write your posts in a way they could be understood? I tried hard to make sense out of your paragraph and I mostly failed. If the idea of a board to post on means anything, it means something about communication. Note: There are a lot of bad writers out there, along with many very good ones, and Lord knows nobody appointed me Chief of Grammar. Mostly I just bite my tongue, but I can't do it any longer. So if the mods think I am out of line in writing this I will take my reprimand. But I am starting to feel like if this posting style belongs here, then I don't. "The too of the Chris" does not work for me.

Well first of all while I respect your opinion I can't see where anything meaningful about this song was contained in the post other than that you actually like the song. Correct me if I'm wrong but while you asking the mods to look into doin something about my posts your breaking the mods own rules. As far as I can see this post was made to be confrontational regardless of whether you said it wasn't or not. And you specifically criticized my post while adding nothing meaningful about the song. I realize that the last sentence of my paragraph ended up jumbled it was supposed to say top of the charts. But regardless there was nothing else wrong with the paragraph other than that sentence. If you couldn't understand it I'm sorry but it was a simple break down of the song in my opinion I thought that is what the board is for. Anyways I will take this opertunity to actually add meaningful discussion about the song. After you mentioned one more drinking song as one more drinking song it seems he has an affinity for drinking songs and seems to enjoy singing them so hopefuly he finds success with this

Correct me if I'm wrong but while you asking the mods to look into doin something about my posts your breaking the mods own rules. Well, this is at least the fourth time (maybe fifth?) that you have been asked, politely, by a staff member or a poster to work on using proper grammar and punctuation in your posts. Each time, you have been told that your posts are difficult to read because of all of the grammar errors. There hasn't been an improvement after any of the requests. Our rules do accommodate members of the community nudging each other when there's an issue. Staffers really only step in here when there's an issue posters can't resolve amongst themselves. Judging from your most recent post here, we may be at that point. It has gotten to the point that your posting style feels inconsiderate of others. It is just taking too much effort to try to get through your run-on sentences, spelling errors, and other grammatical issues. If this keeps up, I think you will find that your posts are going to be ignored (through actual use of the board's "Ignore" function, or just skipped over). I can't imagine that is your goal in posting here. If you want to contribute to discussion, then why not work on making your posts readable? Why not follow the same grammatical rules that everyone else does? Look, none of us is immune from the occasional typo. You are also not the only person whose posting style needs work (mine does, too. I have been told my posting style is too dense and can come off as condescending, etc.). But speaking as someone who has been a member of this board for nine and a half years (yikes!), I have found that a little effort can go a long way. I think you, too, will find that if you show some effort to improve the readability of your posts, you will get a better reception as a constructive contributor here at Pulse.

I've always had the most respect in the world for The Warren Brothers, especially their songwriting abilities, but this is such a huge step below anything they've written. I don't even want their name attached to this song because I know what they can do and it's not this. Exactly what you said, they've written amazing songs for Martina. I guess people like Martina and the thoughtful music that artists like her used to release doesn't exist much in country music, so this type of music is where the market is and where the money lies. I'm scared of where the future of country music is headed if this song becomes a hit.

Ive got three words for you. Red. Solo. Cup. EDITED because on second thought even that wasen't as bad as this turd. Cup at least had humor. But it still showcases that this song isnt a complete departure for the Warren Brothers.

But it still showcases that this song isnt a complete departure for the Warren Brothers. See that's the reason I didn't mention that song, it was completely humorous and wasn't meant to be taken seriously. The Warren Brothers are hilarious (see their show "Barely Famous" or "Sell A Lot of Beer") but they do take their songwriting seriously, for the most part. This song was meant to be a serious release, not just pure humor like "Red Solo Cup" was.

God I hope Zazie is right and this is a parody.
Unfortunately I think he and the songwriters are completely serious. Jerrod prides himself on a having a different sound on his albums and radio("What Do You Want, "Only God Could Love You More").But unlike those tunes, this different is BAD!
