Okay, why are there so many song's on this dude's album that are better than the singles? "On the Way Down" was decent, and "True" is not bad, but just really bland. I had no interest in the album because I figured if those are the best 2 songs on the album, it can't be that good. However, I decided to give "Exit to Exit" a try after hearing it was single #3, and wow they finally got it right. I also DLed "Shame On Me" after seeing Sleepless rave about, and it's another great song. Makes me wonder how "OTWD" and "True" became singles when there's much stronger material there... (phew sorry about the tangent)
Anyway, "Shame On Me" is awesome. Catchy hook and the musical arrangement reminds me of Santana in a way. It sounds like an updated version of 1999-ish Pop radio, kind of Enrique meets Goo Goo Dolls with a 2k5 twist. Really hoping this is A) the 4th single and B) becomes a hit. I just don't know if radio would support 4 singles from him given his sales though...

I hate this. It reminds me of boy band mush. His three singles are some of the most solid pop/rock songs of the past year, but I really don't care for anything else on the album.

I love this song it's awesome. All of Ryan's CD is good. He's more than just a single's artist.

I love this song. It's one of my favorites on his CD. Overall, I think his CD is very solid. There are only two songs I dislike - "Take It All Away" (by a lot) and "Blind Sight" (just a little bit). I can see this song becoming a huge summer hit. It's definitely good enough! ![](http://yoursmiles.org/ssmile/fun/s0270.gif)

Definitely one of my faves from his album as well. I like the breakdown in the middle of the song....gosh it's great! My absolute favorite tracks from this album are "Illusions" and "Exit To Exit" however! So I'm definitely pumped that "Exit To Exit" is the third single.

Someone needs to write a letter to Atlantic and let them know that this song has to be shipped off to radio ASAP.
