I love the video (feels like a Muse video!). The song is pretty great too!

I thought of The Killers for some reason when I watched the video. Anyone else see it?

Just saw this video\heard the song. It'll be really interesting to see how this song does in the US considering they sound nothing like how they did when they were popular here in late 90's. This song sounds to me like Coldplay's "Speed Of Sound", meets ABC's "When Smokey Sings" with an edge. Very good song and I believe will go at least Top 20 here and HotAC. Daniel Johns looks like Chris Martin and an EBEN mixed together though. Whatever. Good song, great progression\chorus.

One of the best rock songs of 2007. I just wish radio would play it...

The album is really good. Just a warning though, it's not a return to their old sound in any way. It's definitely a follow-up to Diorama. I know most of you will probably be happy about that.

This song is too glorious not to get noticed in the USA and I think they'll push it there later in the year.

Finally goes for adds here on June 18th, with the album hitting on July 24th. Hopefully they find as much success here as in Australia. It's too good an album to be ignored, but we'll see.

I hope this does something in North America. I quite enjoy the song, and the band deserves a larger comeback.

Can see this crossing over to Pop and Hot AC also.

I highly doubt silverchair will hit the Alternative chart again. For as good a band as they apparently are now, that's a shame. It should have been the opposite, if anything.

An adds date? Great. So they are pushing it here. I hope they go to Hot AC at the same time. I really think this is going to break through for them here. I really think they have changed so much as far as there sound, not to mention, a lot of younger listeners probably have no idea who they are. I'm not so sure how big it will be here, but I can easily see this being one of the surprise hits of the year. I really have no idea how to predict this song.
If things go well: Alternative: Top 6 Hot AC: Top 10 CHR\POP: Top 25
Isn't this one of the most played singles so far this year in Aus\NZ?

If your highest peak is #100, the only thing you're smashing is your head against a brick wall.

I saw that movie for the first time in a while on HBO last week. It really made me think if this is how it is for a typical upcoming band, but I doubt bands score their first huge hit in such a short time period like they did these days anymore.

I've listened to it a few times now and have really gotten used to it quickly. I definitely take back what I said about the clip I heard many months ago about it sounding like a boy band.

+122, fourth greatest gainer, only on 32 stations.... I think this IS going to be big.

It's certainly picking up each week and staying steady, the chart run is really reminding me of Death Cab For Cutie- Soul Meets Body, hope it has the same success.
