Hmm okay. I was thinking that "Amerika" was a bit slow for the lead, so them doing something else for radio makes sense.

It's no "My Body" or "It's About Time" to me, but it's not bad.

Really digging this other new song a lot. Very melodic band with high grade vocals. Download? Check.... and by Looking at that tracklist; I'm guessing "Mr. Know-It-All" could be a future single?

These guys just keep getting better and better. I already like both of these songs from their upcoming album more than either of the last two singles from Mind Over Matter. I think this one might even rival It's About Time, which I love. Hopefully they can get a #1 out of this era. They deserve to.

Pretty solid return from these guys. I'll never expect them to match "Cough Syrup" as that is one of my favourite songs ever, but this is quit solid. I like how this is noticeably different from their prior lead singles in a good way.

Better than "Amerika", probably would put it up there alongside "Crystallized" and below "It's About Time" (though not by much).
Can't believe there used to be a time when I didn't like these guys. Ridiculous.

This is awesome. I'm a pretty big Young the Giant fan and this is one of their best. I think this could be a future #1.

This has grown on me, but I can't say I'm in love with this yet.
As for their singles...

Probably my least favorite singles of theirs to date, but it's not bad.

"Cough Syrup" was great, I didn't really get into this band until "Mind Over Matter" Album.
My Body: B- Cough Syrup: A Apartment: C+ It's About Time: A+ Mind Over Matter: A+ Crystallized: B+ Something to Believe In: B+(still early but growing with each listen)

Only rating the ones I know
My Body B- Cough Syrup B- It's About Time A- Mind Over Matter B+ Something to Believe In C
There's something that irks me about STBI, even though I really like the instrumentation. Glad these guys are still getting hits though, they're a perfect band for alt and they've made some great stuff.

Never got into these guys, and this song doesn't do anything to change that.

Overall, they're ok. I don't like them as much as most of you on here.
