Opening track from the new album Medicine At Midnight. The hook and the guitar riff are straight out of the 90's, and I am here for it.

Goes for Alternative adds now. I figured this would be the one! Great choice from what remained, it has a fiery energy to it with an excellent bass groove. It's got a lot of potential as a party rock-style track. I would expect it to be sent to Active and maybe AAA shortly as well. |

I was really hoping for “Holding The Poison” as the next radio single but this is a great choice too.

This is pretty cool. Sounds like one of them Grunge with a Hard Rock moon rising songs I liked in the 90's. A lot of Guitar strums. How cool is that Music video tho? That's how you make a cool torso MV.

The one is fine, but the "nana"s got to me with the first listen when hearing the album. I haven't come back to this one more than I want to say once since then. I would have preferred "Cloudspotter" or "Love Dies Young."

I would have preferred "Cloudspotter" or "Love Dies Young." I have a sneaking suspicion "Cloudspotter" will be single #4. I don't think "Making A Fire" will bellyflop like "The Line" did and end this era early; so I think "Cloudspotter" will get its chance. No way RCA doesn't go four singles deep as long as the songs keep hitting the top 10 on all three formats and if the singles continue to top the combined airplay chart. EDIT: Though I will not rule out the title track yet - it has strong single potential too. |

Woohoo! My choice. I don't think it will dominate on any of the formats - I'll guess Top 10 Active, Top 20 Alternative (might be optimistic) and Top 5 AAA. Alternative needs some energy that isn't emo/pop-punk so stations there need to pick this strong uplifting single up.
The refrain (or prefrain?) that comes before the chorus sounds straight out of a Triple Play Baseball '98 soundtrack, which is part of why I love this song but I also love the diversity of its making - parts of it do not sound like the other. Though the core grunge/punk/classic Dave & Taylor inspired stuff is as noticeable as daylight outside, this album is the evolution Foo Fighters needed to make. Masterpiece of an album.
Hopefully, this does well.

This song has a big Dodge Ram sync.

This reminds me a lot of "Alive & Amplified" by The Mooney Suzuki (which of course was used in a series of Suzuki car commercials).

Interesting that AAA hasn't really picked up on this. Is this too hard for the format? The refrain gets a little busy guitar-wise and there is some pseudo-scream/singing from Dave, but then there was on "Waiting On A War", as well.
I'm hoping this breaks their recent 3rd single curse or at least does a couple top tens, and maybe a top fifteen.

This is definitely my favorite single from this new album. It's like 6/10
