Great to hear they got something new coming. I'm guessing this is from the upcoming album "Approaching Normal"
Can you hear this anywhere yet?

Live version is pretty damn good, way better than the overrated "Hate Me"

Hate Me was SO bad. There other singles were all right though.

I thought "Hate Me" was sick (in a good way), I think I liked "Calling You" a bit better though. "Razorblade" might be my all time favorite but "Into the Ocean" was just decent. I'm really excited about this one. Lately they've had some good luck at CHR. They seem like such an odd fit but I'm glad they get played there.

I'm looking forward to new stuff from them. Their past two albums have really grown on me and I like the variety that they always put out how not one song sounds like another one.

Fuck yeah, I'm so excited to hear this. I hope they have some more heavy material on this one though like on Consent To Treatment and History For Sale. Foiled was a fantastic album, but I thought it got too weighed down by softer songs toward the end.

I thought Foiled was great from start to finish. After I bought a ticket to a Blue October show in September 2007, I bought History for Sale and that album also blew me away. I fell in love with Calling You, and since just about everyone at both Blue October shows I've seen was singing every word, I'm guessing I'm not the only one.
What's interesting is that after the show I loaded both albums onto my iPod, which I always play in shuffle mode. I've found after hearing Blue October songs that I tend to like the feel of songs from History for Sale a bit more than the ones from Foiled. Not a huge jump, but I'm also hoping for just a bit of a return...

I'm liking it. I'm afraid my expectations are way too high for the upcoming album, since I loved Foiled so much, but so far, so good.

First thoughts:
1. I can't believe a pop station played this. :o
2. Where can I find a mp3?

But this is already getting a lot of play, surely someone could rip the promo CD or something. Blue October fans are too nice, aren't they?

I finally got around to hearing this. It wasn't easy to find on their MySpace without actually clicking the album title. Anyway, I think it's rather good. Not exactly what I expected to hear as for a single and it sounds to me more like an album track, but I like it nevertheless and am still really looking forward to the new album.

This song is amazing. Sadly, it won't do well on radio anywhere.

Holy Cow. This sounds nothing close to what I expected. I would recommend this song to anyone who was not interested enough in Blue October's singles from their last album to really listen to the entire thing. Such a (welcomed, IMO) departure from that signature sound they were creating in "Calling You", "Hate Me", and to a much lesser extent, "Into The Ocean."

Signature sound? I think these guys do a fairly solid job of staying away from any particular type of sound. "Into the Ocean" sounds nothing like "Hate Me" imo. HM was the first song of theirs I heard, and then I heard ITO and was like "What the heck is this?" It grew on my after awhile but hearing that as the followup to a solid pop-rock tune was surprising.
As for this song, I really wanted to like it, I just can't for some reason. Once again, they put out a song that doesn't really reflect any of their other stuff. Maybe I'll like it after a few more listens like Into the Ocean though.

If I'm not mistaken, they sound far less pop-oriented (or mainstream pop-rock oriented) with this song. I had grown tired of the desperation that was "Calling You" and "Hate Me" - which sounded too formulaic for my taste, although I found both songs somewhat catchy. This is a pleasant surprise, though. |
