The fact that KROQ is playing flops like "Sinner" and "2 AM" in their top 20 over songs like Breaking puzzls me. They need to put some recurrents away too

The fact that KROQ is playing flops like "Sinner" Songs like "Sinner" (as well as bands like the Offspring) just seem to be quintessential KROQ music, though. At least in my head. I do agree wholeheartedly that they need to stop with such heavy rotation of so many recurrent songs. For all the music I don't typically hear regularly in the midwest, I'd probably be just as sick of KROQ if I lived in the L.A. area, just for the heavy recurrent permeation alone.

07/25/09: 35 ANBERLIN Breaking 366 +052 1.045M | +10 S | +12 T | –87K A thats a strange line... I think what happened there was similar to what happened with a lot of songs on the Pop chart. I haven't checked to confirm, but the audience totals for the satellite radio stations being tracked by Mediabase were reset erroneously to 0.000. (Some songs on the pop chart lost up to 4 million audience.) If and when that is corrected, you'll see a similar bump in the opposite direction.

Not quite as slow a climb as Feel Good Drag. That should be great news for the band.

Love Anberlin! They are amazing live; Stephen kills it. Hope this reaches number 1 like FGD. Disappear or The Resistance should be released next. :)
Side Note: Anyone wish that Cities was more successful? That album is seamlessly amazing.

I wouldn't mind a bit of they re-released Cities...not sure how that would sit with everyone else but if that is what it takes for it to get the recognition it deserves so be it.

New Order cover, released as an iTunes Digital Single.
It's absolutely incredible, and far better and more radio friendly than anything left on New Surrender. I doubt they'd do it but I'd love to see them re-release New Surrender with this on it and make it the 3rd single a little further down the road. If Seether can make Careless Whisper a hit, Anberlin can make True Faith a hit.

Have to agree. This is sublime. Better than New Order's original version. "Breaking" has a lot of legs left though.

Oh definitely, that's why I said it's an idea for a little while down the road. Breaking is by no means done yet, and Feel Good Drag is still active as well

Better than New Order's original version. Nope. It is a very good cover, though. I imagine it all comes down (usually) to how familiar one is with the original. I'm one to talk. Orgy's cover of "Blue Monday" is my favorite song of all-time.

Have to agree. This is sublime. Better than New Order's original version. No no no. This version is actually quite good, but the chorus is not done too well. I mean, it's a matter of opinion, but I don't like the way it's being sung with a hint of... anger? Desperation? I'm not sure exactly what you'd call that, but it doesn't really seem to match the song, especially this part of it. I wish they'd done all of the choruses like the one at ~2:50, with that steadiness and coldness that suits it so well. That's much of what I love about the New Order version. But anyway, considering this is a song that's very hard to tackle, I think they did reasonably well and I agree that it could do reasonably well if they choose to ship it to radio at some point. I'm curious what this is for - movie soundtrack? Album re-release? Because they felt like it?

If they did every chorus like that one around 2:50 it would take all the excitement and energy out of the song IMO. I actually find this to be quite superb, and almost perfect for a cover. And I have to disagree with Nick completely because i prefer New Order's Blue Monday over Orgy's and Anberlin's True Faith over New Order's. But whatever, they are all extremely well done.

I've been hearing the New Order cover for the greatest hits package more lately than Breaking. Too bad!
