Wouldn't be my first choice. I used to skip this track last Autumn when I listened to their album a lot, but it's catchy enough I suppose. It literally sounds like a cross between "Pompeii" and "Bad Blood" so... the more the merrier I guess? isn't that song 2 years old or so? Yes.

My favorite song off the album!!!
"There's a hole in my soul, I can't fill it, I can't fill it."
AHH!

Aww, what the hell? This song is nice and all, but "Laura Palmer" and "Things We Lost In the Fire" would have been better choices IMO.

Eh, not really a fan of this one. I wanted Things We Lost in the Fire for Alt and Of The Night for Pop.

The album is so good that we can complain about this single choice, but still realistically expect it to do pretty well since it's a solid song.

I haven't heard their album, but this doesn't sound like single material to me. I liked it decent enough, but think "Pompeii" blows it to shreds and isn't as good as "Bad Blood" either.

I saw it got removed about an hour ago - that happens sometimes, and presumably it'll be back tomorrow. ???

If a 3 year old song like Still Counting can top Active then I think this can do the same on Alt, though it's really boring.

Bad Blood didn't hit #1 though. It was behind The Black Keys, but I don't think this one is going to carry enough momentum to be a third single #1.

This is among my favorites on the album, but "Things We Lost in the Fire" would've had a better shot at guaranteeing them a 3rd big hit. They've already made enough of a name for themselves on Alternative that they can probably afford to release the not-quite-as-radio-friendly "Flaws" instead though without worrying about its performance being a huge deciding factor in their future chart success.
I'm going to predict a #10 peak on Alternative. The fact that it's less catchy than "Pompeii" and "Bad Blood", combined with the fact that those two songs are still getting lots of airplay ("Pompeii" would still be #15 on the current chart), will likely make it hard for this to get much higher.

It's a good song and all and it's catchy enough, but holy cliched chorus, Batman.

This is the song on the album I go back to most frequently.. I'm happy with this choice.

Disappointed with this single choice. It should've been "Things We Lost In The Fire" or "Laura Palmer." Hopefully this still goes top 10, so one of those can be the 4th single!

Anybody else prefer "Weight of Living Part II" as a single choice? Even though "Things We Lost in the Fire" would've been good too.

I don't mind this, #7 peak prediction.

Really nothing beats "Pompeii" for me. But I was hoping for "Things We Lost in the Fire".

Great song! I love the new sound of alt music these days. catchy and not afriad of a syntheziser.
