New single from Moon Taxi is out now. This has picked up a few AAA adds. It's also under Cool New Music for Alternative and AAA. They're with BMG now.

This is a bad song and I can’t understand why anyone would invest in sending something like this to radio. The lyrics are awful.

This either sounds like something that spends one week on the alt chart and falls off or the alt crossover that gets sent to pop and spends way too much time on the chart and at #1. That’s how generic it is.

"Now's the Time" was really solid; I don't know why they didn't sent that. It sounded very radio friendly.
This is really meh, as most of their material has been for the past couple of years. Shame because I really liked them at a point, but they kinda lost me with this past album.

Moon Taxi has had some decent songs, they are based out of Nashville and pretty much AAA Pop. There is no way even the band thinks this song is good, for them, this is complete garbage.

This song made me laugh, but not in a good way.

Besides that background noise that I don't even know what it is, but I feel like Walk The Moon used it in "One Foot," I enjoyed that song. That chorus is damn catchy and reminds me something from like Vance Joy or The Head and the Heart.

For such a poppy song, the lack of rhymes stick out like a sore thumb to me. Normally this doesn't bother me, but on this one it does.
I don't think this is that bad, but it's a far cry from a solid chunk of their discography.
