I couldn't stand Blue October, but I was curious enough to give this one listen. I'm glad I did because this is pretty good.

It's starting to take off. It now has a +150 bullet and is in the low 20's, according to All Access.
Additionally, though, I really encourage all of those indifferent to or disliking of Blue October to listen to this song at least twice. As far as singles go, it's a vastly different direction for the band. It's starting to grow on me and rapidly. Bigtime sleeper hit both on Mediabase Alternative and in my realm.

I just don't like it. I don't know, I normally really enjoy Blue October but this one just doesn't do it for me. Oh well, I'm sure they'll have something on Approaching Normal that I'll enjoy.

Has nothing to do with your quote, but wow, we have the same #1 song at the same week.

Bigtime sleeper hit both on Mediabase Alternative and in my realm. Sleeper hits are more hits that take forever to climb the chart, though. "Sometime Around Midnight" is the latest perfect example.

You're correct - and needless to say I did not anticipate the (pleasantly) shocking jump this song had received just recently over at Mediabase. I mean, it's getting near +300, at this point. Simply uncanny....especially after only bulleting slightly in the upper 40's and lower 30's for a few weeks.

I like this quite a bit. Definitely different from their other singles. "Hate Me" and "Into The Ocean" were just okay imo. I'm happy to see that it is having success hitherto and hope it keeps it up.

This song was a nice surprise for me! It's not that I don't like Blue October past stuff, but this is the first time they really hit me.
I love the rawer sound of this one, it's so different from their other stuff... Considering what I just said, it's obviously my favorite Blue October song. I would put "Into The Ocean" in the 2nd place. This got me really excited about "Approaching Normal". Hope there's a lot of variety in terms of sound...

I know "Foiled" and one song from "History For Sale", the single "Calling You". Out of these there's nothing that sounds like "Dirt Room". I guess you're talking about their older stuff. You put me interested in those now, I'll check that soon.

There's plenty of stuff on History For Sale and Consent To Treatment that sounds like this, but on the subject of Foiled, you don't think "Drilled A Wire Through My Cheek" and "What If We Could" have the same feel to them?

Yes, for "Drilled A Wire Through My Cheek" but I don't consider "What If We Could" that similar to "Dirt Room" mainly because it's slower... Still, I think every song on "Foiled", even those two, are more polished than "Dirt Room".

It's not any slower than "Cheek". It's a loud heavy song.

I love Foiled! Lots of different stuff on there. I'm growing on this song tho. I am looking forward to the new album. I don't know much what to expect though.

I'm angry that "I Don't Care" has a bigger bullet than this or MGMT's "Kids." Sorry, that song's old enough where that could objectively be considered just wrong.
