According to their Myspace, this is the second single.
What a piss poor choice. This is a great album, but they picked the wrong song...I don't know if I'd call it the worst song on the album...but if it's not, it's close.
If they were going to go that route, they might as well have gone with At First Sight...or if they wanted to stay the course, they should have picked Feel the Change.

I'm afraid it doesn't really matter what they went with. If "Better Think Again" couldn't go top 30 at active rock, I think this album is done at radio. My personal favorites other than "Better..." are "Life Without You" and "Over Now," but it really feels like nothing is going to succeed. I hope I'm wrong as Submersed is the only Wind-Up artist I really like, and yet the one that can't seem to make it big. IMO the most talented group by far on that label.

I think "At First Sight" was their only hope of a crossover single. I understand that this is the song they went back and added to the album, so they must have a lot of faith in this song. That faith is misplaced.

R.I.P. Submersed...they got dropped and hence disbanded :( Knew it was coming. Other way round. Their message on MySpace suggests that three members of the band left prior to this single being released, and sales numbers plus only two remaining members are probably what is leading to them being dropped. I say leading because their MySpace message says the drop is not yet official. The remaining members, Donald and Garrett, have put together a new band already called Million Man Army. |

Well now there's soon to be a grand total of 0 bands I like on Wind-up. Donald Carpenter seriously has one of the best voices out there. If he and Garrett weren't already working on another project, I'd try to recruit him to sing for my band.
And I guess I do sorta like Evanescence, but I liked them much more when they had Ben Moody in the lineup as a guitarist and songwriter. The rest of the wind-up bands aren't bad, but the "Fallen" and the two Submersed albums are the only Wind-Up albums I've ever bought....or wait, I guess Drowning Pool's "Sinner" was released on Wind-Up back in the day, wasn't it. Hmmmm....and I bought Finger Eleven's "The Greyest Of Blue Skies" cuz I loved "First Time" back in the day. I guess I like Wind-Up more than I think I do. But yeah, they definitely just lost the one act on their roster that I actively like.
