Smile Empty Soul: "Don't Need You"

[EvanJ]

It has 12 spins on Alternative.

It says the album "Anxiety" comes out in September and you can listen to "Don't Need You" there.

I don't like this nearly as much as I like Holes.

I can't wait to hear it!

You can hear it on their website, it should load and play automatically.

Didn't we already have a topic on their new stuff already. I seem to remember predicting their career trajectory as being similar to Trust Company's...

[ydoucare]

There was a topic for "Holes" which they had playing on their website a while ago.

I like both songs.

Yeah, I liked "Holes" better as well, but this song's also good. It went for adds this week. Not many stations seemed to jump the gun since its only at #115 on Alternative and #54 on Active Rock. I'm sure it will do farely well once their album is released in late-September.

Smile Empty Soul is alright. I didn't give them much of a chance at first but their album has been steadily growing on me. I think some of their lyrics are a little too immature, and that worries me a bit since their new album seems like it might be getting somewhat political and I'm afraid they're going to sound like idiots. But they are also not a bad band so I do look forward to seeing what new material they come out with.

This is just another typical angry rock song. it just sounds slapped together. I think Saturday or Holes would have been a better first single. all my opinion though

I like "Silhouettes" better.

From Smile Empty Soul's website:

Hey Fans:
Well, it looks like we're going to have to wait a little longer before Anxiety hits the racks of your favorite music store...To start the new year off with a big bang, Smile Empty Soul is holding off on the release of their new album, Anxiety, until 2006.


Ouch...this seems to be happening a lot.

[Mega248]

Did this song ever really go for adds? I just have a hard time believing that their lead single would fail to even crack the top 60, regardless of what it sounds like (I haven't listened to it).

[ydoucare]

Wow, an advance copy of this album has already been leaked and circulating on the torrent networks for at least a month or more. I don't suggest anyone download it of course, but the fact that they're delaying the release until 2006 is odd.

[pen]

They're delaying the release because they're leaving Lava. They also are encouraging fans to go ahead and download the album. Considering the circumstances, I'm not entirely sure Anxiety will ever be released in its current form, if all that I've heard is true.

[Crushcrushchris]

I still hear Don't Need You and (occasionally) To The Ground from this album. Shame that it may not be released anytime soon, if ever.

from the sounds of it, heres whats going on with the band
- the newest drummer left the band. they're looking for a new one. this will be there third drummer
- leaving Lava and lookin for a new label
- looks of it, theres some problems with alcohol in the band. nough said.
- they're gonna go back into the studio in early 2006.

this was all gathered together by reading posts on their official forum. so take it as you well :)
