Alrighty, so I just listened to this on their MySpace, and wow! This is EXACTLY what I wanted to hear out of a first single, and I think the song is absolutely awesome. They definitely went back to their old roots and put out an opening single of basically what their long-time fans wanted to hear. I don't expect to do dramatically well, but as I said earlier, I don't really care. I'm just so freaking psyched for more new material from them for the first time in many years :) I actually expect this will do really well, especially if the rest of the album is anything like this and includes fewer (but still one or two) semi-novelty songs. If this album is the "freightrain" they say it is, it could be huge.

I love the Western feel this song has at the beginning. Apart from that, this is EXACTLY what I was hoping to hear from the band after this long hiatus. Hell yes, old school all the way.

This song is available for download straight from their site. I love that so many bands are doing this.

Surprising leadoff single from a band I was expecting novelty from. This would not have sounded out of place on Smash. It is a little long but it's almost like two songs in one because the last verse is different.
Only knock on it is that it doesn't really have a memorable hook, but this has so much energy and will be hailed as a "return to form", so I'm sure it'll be a huge hit.
