The song is out. This is not good. They got bit by the Imagine Dragon again.

The song is out. This is not good. They got bit by the Imagine Dragon again. You weren’t kidding. This song is AWFUL. As a fan of Pop Evil who likes a great deal of their material, I am thoroughly disappointed. There is nothing about this track that works even the slightest for me. The song isn’t even just “meh” to me....it’s repugnant to my ear drums. I hope this is not indicative of more to come...bad...really, really bad. |

Octane is actually playing the crap out of the other song they released called “Let The Chaos Reign”. Maybe it’ll be the single instead of this one

Two PE songs actually dropped today, and I unsurprisingly prefer the far more rifftastic "Let The Chaos Reign".
This one is certainly...interesting. I guess credit to the band for continuing to add flourishes to it's core Active Rock sound.

Go figure....
I just listened to “Let the Chaos Reign” and it ROCKS!! It’s definitely hard hitting, aggressive and represents the sound I want to hear from this band. Guitars are ripping those sweet riffs!! Talk about a tale of two songs.

Count me in with the chorus of voices wondering why the hell they didn't send "Let the Chaos Reign" instead. That song kicks major ass.
This? This is another "Elevate", a half-hearted attempt to cross over to Alternative but the label decides to still send it to Active anyway. I hope Active collectively decides to spin "Let the Chaos Reign" until the label/band wakes up.

bet you all wish they were still making fierce jams like "Boss's Daughter" right about now.  This "Work" song is garbage. It's worse. It's garbage wrapped in garbage. "Let the Chaos Reign" is way better, but I'm still not a fan of that Rise Against The machine vocal delivery style. I like the guitars tho, but that's about it. |

'Work' is dire on just about every level.
'Let the Chaos Reign' is fine but hardly anything memorable.
PS 'If Only For Now' is an oldie but such a good song.

Ehhh I mean, you won't hear me being nice to Pop Evil often, but I don't *hate* this. They've had worse endeavors into Imagine Dragons-core. Of course it's going to smash because it's Pop Evil

Wow, this absolutely sucks! What happened to them?? Onyx was such a good album and then things started turning south, and now we're here. This is dreadful and hopefully it flops.

Damn this is even worse than I've expected. This is easily on Elevate level. Wow.

This song has actually grown on me quite a bit, but then I tend to like pretty much everything Pop Evil releases. I think it's ascension into the Top 10 would be at a faster clip if they hadn't released a superior song alongside with it. Looking forward to the new album.
I'm a bit surprised they didn't work a 4th single off the last one, considering the success of "Be Legendary", and the fact that each of their previous albums went 4 singles deep.

It should get a lot of recurrent airplay on Mike Kaplan's Work out playlist.  |
