FMQB says this will be the next single for Metamorphosis, going for adds on January 26th, but I dunno, I'd like to think "Hollywood Whore" would get more promotion first since there's an official video for it and all. "Lifeline" sounds akin to "Scars" and "Forever" in terms of sound, so it should do well nevertheless.

I'm pretty sure this is the first official single since "Hollywood Whore" never went for adds. Anyways, can't wait to hear this :)

I guess Hollywood Whore did get scrapped as a radio single after all.
Hopefully another big hit for these guys.

Confirmed release date for "Metamorphosis": March 24. (according to FMQB)
Wonder which album will peak higher: this or Blue October's "Approaching Normal"

To Be Loved... was such a better lead single. Based on the weakness of this song, Blue October will do the better release. "Dirt Room" is hot.

Not a huge fan of the group, but this song's pretty good. Although I liked the guitar line better when Keane used it 5 years ago.

Based on "Hollywood Whore" and now this, I definitely won't be buying their new album. (And to think, I bought their last two albums in their opening weeks.) Sure, this song sounds fine, but lyrically, this is practically every song Jacoby's written on the last two albums. I mean, you think about a "typical" Papa Roach song in the past 5 years and it would sound like this. It's like Jacoby was on autopilot writing this song. (Oh, and it's in a major key, so it goes down smooth. ;) ) How is this song not "Time Is Running Out" or "Reckless"? Or thematically, if not necessarily musically, "Stop Looking/Start Seeing," "Take Me," "Be Free," "Sometimes," "Alive (N' Out of Control)," "Crash," "I Devise My Own Demise," "What Do You Do?" or "My Heart Is a Fist"? How is this anything but an album cut? This is their best foot forward? Piss off.

I remember when they wrote songs like "Revenge" and "Thrown Away". Good times.

The album has leaked apparently at a 160 bitrate. I'm about 2/3 done with it and I agree that it's a bit disappointing so far. It's probably more rocking than any album I've heard from them, but there doesn't seem like much of a variety. I'll have to give it another listen of course to really determine a real decision though.

The album is ok but i was expecting something better. I've been listening to the album, and I think I agree. I think "Change Or Die", "Hollywood Whore", and "Lifeline" really are the only potential singles from this. I dunno, Jacoby's written better songs. I think touring with Motley and Hinder and Buckcherry has caused their skills to take a nosedive. "Live This Down" and "I Almost Told You That I Loved You" are painful in their shallowness. And "Had Enough" is wrote anthemism. I dunno. This is the first Papa Roach album that's actually let me down.

I heard this song and loved it. Not expecting to hear it was Papa Roach, but loved it none the less.
