It's good, but I doubt it'll be played much on the radio.

The Vines are good but hardly the saviors of rock.

Isn't their lead singer, Craig Nichols, like really down to earth and drug free or something?

Was Ride a big hit on radio? I remember it not getting huge amounts of airplay, but I'd say most of America heard it in that iPod commercial they included it in.

Does anyone have the chart peaks for their singles? How do you think this one will go?

I really hope radio digs this song. They deserve success amongs the bland rock dominating todays charts.

the lead singer cleaned up his act? HAHA I find that hard to believe. aside from that I think this song really rocks. all the singles from these guys are good. hopefully this one does well

I <3 The Vines. At one point, I was very nearly obsessed with them. Now? Not so much, but I definitely will be buying their new album & like this song.
I hope it does well.
Prediction:
Top 20

Cherry Crush, we've missed you around here!! I, too, wish Garbage's last album would've done better, but if we look on the bright side at least it was a hell of a lot more successful than Androgyny.

I wasn't a huge fan of the Vines previously... but this song may make be a believer. I think it was because I'm opposed to screaming in songs. This one doesn't have much of that.

Going nowhere fast so far. #146? Ouch.
KROQ is doing them no favors this time around.

Do you honestly think some stations are not playing this because of the title itself? I understand the stations could believe some listeners could see past it, and could recognize that it IS the Vines. But, from a business perspective, it's probably not too smart to play it for the outside listener.
Sluggish start thus far, and I really doubt the Vines will ever live up to the hype that Highly Evolved almost achieved.

Well he only says "Don't Listen to the Radio" once in the whole song.

I'd say give it a week or two and then we'll see whether or not this has a chance.
I'm going to also say that the lack of touring will hurt The Vines significantly.
A good example of that scenario would be the last Silverchair album in the states. I don't recall where The Greatest View made it to, but I know it didn't go far and I also know that they didn't spend much, if any time over here.

Slowly climbing. Maybe there is hope for the track.

I've heard this two or three times so far and other than name recognition (which doesn't mean much nowadays for these guys), I don't see this happening. There's nothing special about it.

On their latest listener survey, WEQX titled this song "Don't Listen".
