The Raconteurs - Level

[pen]

Next single from their album, goes for adds September 11th.

Whatever happened to "Hands", do you know?

They've already shot a video for "Hands". Could it be used for a separate international release?

Or they can't make up their minds as what to release, like Taking Back Sunday.

But yeah, it must be some international release. The Yeah Yeah Yeahs have relased "Turn Into" with a video outside of the U.S.

I don't like this song BTW.

[American Idiot]

I haven't heard this, but I don't Hands was a wise choice as far a single since I don't think it was very memorable. Even after listening to it at least five times, I still had to ask myself "What is this song again?"

This is it? You've got to be kidding me.

I think it would be mildly unfair to criticize the choice because of the song time, but there's no real refrain or chorus. It's a great album track, but it's definitely not single material, and the Raconteurs may continue the trend of new artists of 2006 who can't garner second single success. If they don't, it has to be their own fault, not the label's, right? ???. Is there nothing else on BBS with radio power? Sad, because this band, unlike 10 Years and the Arctic Monkeys, had so much name power to begin with.

XM Ethel has jumped on the song "Together", which sounds like single material to me.

Haven't heard "Level" yet.

I'd say either "Hands" or "Intimate Secretary".
