This from Skillet management, The Older I Get will be the follow up for Whispers in the dark. should go to rock formats and possibly HAC. not official yet, but the single at least is set in stone. this song is great, its their first reach to formats other than rock. check it out www.myspace.com/skilletmusic its on thier profile player.

They should have ridden the wave of "Lips of an Angel" with "Say Goodbye".

I think they should've gone with "Comatose".

I think they should've gone with "Comatose". Comatose is really good, but if they're attempting to cross over to pop/Hot AC, it's not such a good idea.

That's true and "Say Goodbye" could get them some crossover success but I think they should build a stronger foundation at the rock formats before attempting something like that. On the other hand, a crossover hit might be exactly what they need...

Yes.
This is my favourite song off "Comatose," so I'm happy.
This should do well on radio; it's certainly popish and up-tempo enough compared to their other work. Some songs just sound like radio rock, and this is one of them.

Comatose is really good, but if they're attempting to cross over to pop/Hot AC, it's not such a good idea. With the success of Three Days Grace and their incredibly-similar vocal sound, this should do well. It's the first thing I hear from everyone who I make listen to Skillet - it must be a 3DG side project.

That's stupid. They don't sound like Three Days Grace at all. And they've been around a lot longer.

But they are the same people who love dredge like Children of Bodom. Plus, notice I said 'vocal sound' in my comparison, not musical sound, but I digress.

Well I don't think either vocalist sounds the same either.

Fair enough, I think we have to agree to disagree on the comparisons of this one.
However, perhaps we can agree that it would be great if Skillet could really light it up and make it to the big time. 'Comatose' is one of my personal favourite albums of the year, and they seem to be one of the few hard-working, long-established bands that deserve some real long-term success.

Both Skillet and three days grace's vocalists have similar raspy voices. of course no two vocalists are exactly alike. but i must say these two are somewhat similar. not that it really matters... I do like "say goodbye" better that The Older I Get. but they (several radio stations) did a test of the 3 slower songs on Comatose: Yours to Hold, The Older I Get and Say Goodbye, and aparently Older I Get won. but i have heard rumors of releasing Say Goodbye during High school graduation around June, becuase it relates to moving on to something new.
Atlantic/Lava should promote this next song a lot more. Aparently "Whispers in the Dark" was just meant ot get them through the 4th Qtr.

I don't see the comparsion between Three Days Grace and Skillets singers at all. they sound nothing a like in my opinion. regardless of that, good song. I was sketchy about Whispers in the Dark because it didn't do that much for me. this one does. coolio stuff

I heard this on Sirius Top 40 Hits; potential for mainstream crossover?

I heard this on Sirius Top 40 Hits; potential for mainstream crossover? I'd say it definitely does, and I think has the possibility of doing pretty damn well considering its a bit of a ballad.

just hit #31 on Billboard's hot mainstream rock tracks, and re-entered the Billboard 200 at #197 with 4100 albums sold last week. they also have a #12 on Christian CHR going on #1 in the next 2-3 weeks im guess.

It's good to see this one climbing the charts. I hope they decide to release "Rebirthing" next.

I'm starting to like this. I downloaded "Say Goodbye" off iTunes, it's amazing. I should go buy their whole album.
