"Stars" is the second single off of their upcoming album Modern Vintage. It goes for Active adds on October 14 according to All Access. Not sure why they are pushing this already considering "Gotta Get It Right" is still climbing the Active Rock chart (currently at #12).

This is another mess. It's like they tried to mesh Hot AC production with a ton of loudness in the chorus.
Why they couldn't just stick to their darker hard rock sound is beyond me/

they just released their lead single, why push another this early? it's just going to kill off the first one before it reaches its peak. also this song isn't as good as Gotta Get It Right.

I'm assuming "Gotta Get It Right" didn't do well on Pop so they're trying again with this.

I could understand another single if it was something heavier, but this is just as poppy as "Gotta Get It Right". And unlike that, it doesn't even really have a melody.

This week's jump up the chart for "Gotta Get It Right" is partially a reflection of the massive decline in spins for Godsmack, Chevelle, and Rise Against. Unless there's a significant increase in plays over the next week or so..it's run could be over by the time the add date for this rolls around.
I prefer this song to "Gotta Get It Right". (And it's certainly better than the band's cover of The Cars "Drive". I was afraid that would end up being the 2nd single.)

I listened to their cover of "Drive". It's not abysmall. I mean the song, is such a classic, it's almost impossible to screw it up, but it has zero% sound of SixxX A.M. Now for "Stars"; hmmm, I need to let it sink in down a bit more. It doesn't have the coolness of an 80s Glam Metal Ballad, but it has a killer welcome guitar solo, so I'm kinda on a two street with it for now. I hope it hangs back a bit untill "Gotta Get It Right" reaches the Top 10 at least.

I've never been a huge fan of Shinedown's "Simple Man" much, but The Ataris do an amazing job of "Boys of Summer." That was probably my favorite song from the Summer of '03.

The FFDP version is one of my favorite cover songs ever, right next to Nine Inch Nails' cover of Johnny Cash's Hurt.
