What sort of ballad is this?

Is it more of a power ballad (Head-On Collision) or something we haven't seen before from them?

Sounds like a lullaby.

I've heard this for the first time (I streamed "Catalyst")

My first response hearing the record was that this is far more alternative-sounding than "Sticks and Stones". I did hear "All Downhill From Here" on my Alternative station and found it is easily more aggressive-sounding than any of the three singles ("My Friends Over You", "Head-On Collision", "Understatement") from "Sticks and Stones".

"I Don't Wanna Know" is a ballad, though a power ballad. I have mixed feelings on this track and feel after the flop of "Failure's Not Flattering" this might not get the full push it hopes for.

I'll say it'll stick somewhere where Yellowcard's "Only One" is right now.

If this explodes, however, which it very well could, I don't think it would be a bad idea to re-release "All Downhill From Here" to CHR/Pop as a followup, which could be a logical economical decision. It's the standout track on the record and quite infectious with its bouncy, roller-coastering pre-chorus and chorus interlopings and power-punched riffs that crunch borderline heavy rock punk. It already peaked long ago on Alternative at #11, but this year we've seen quite a lot of re-releases that paid off, especially Gavin DeGraw's "I Don't Want To Be" earning a second wind.

My Prediction: #24

It looks like it missed the chart.

I know I'm late on this one, but I heard this one for the first time and I really liked it, I'm surprised it didn't do good in POP, or at least TRL where they're a staple.
