Wikipedia says that Rockline Radio says that this is gonna be the second single off of The New Game, but I wouldn't really say it's set in stone. No add date. And there's some kind of poll here thisismudvayne.ning.com/where people are voting on the new single. "Scarlet Letters" is one of the main choices though, as well as "Never Enough" and "A Cinderella Story". I haven't listened to the album all that much since I got it yet, so I dunno which one I'd choose. |

I remember when you first posted the track listing to the album and told us to guess what the first single would be. I picked this but then second-guessed myself saying "it sounds more like a second single anyway."

No, no, no. "Have It Your Way" ftw! (I can't even tell if my write-in vote counted, because it never updated anything after reading "sending vote."
The only possible reason not to make that song a single is that Bush will be leaving office next week. The three main choices are at least halfway down my album ranker:
01. Have It Your Way
02. Do What You Do
03. Dull Boy
04. Fish Out of Water
05. A New Game
06. A Cinderella Story
07. Same Ol'
08. Never Enough
09. We the People
10. Scarlet Letters
11. The Hate in Me

I wouldn't mind "Fish Out Of Water".

Have it Your Way isn't a great song, and definitely not a single. In fact the only reason most people like it is because it's so anti-bush. I like this choice but I think "Fish Out of Water" would be best.

"Fish Out Of Water" would be awesome. Definitely my favorite track on the album.

They want to sing about the world around them. Especially if they're not content with the way things are. You probably wouldn't be a music fan, I take it, if you were just hitting your music-listening stride during the Vietnam era. I wonder what musicians will be singing in another 4-8 years... I'm starting to see your point. I don't know about you, but I sure got sick of all those Clinton-bashing songs as the '90's wore on. I'll reiterate that, first and foremost, "Have It Your Way" is a good tune. |

My station played this in a specialty block during their morning show this morning, announcing it three separate times as "the new one from Mudvayne" or "their new one."
Boo-urns.

Of the three choices, "A Cinderella Story" was easily the best. This song's chorus sucks really bad.

Yes, I saw. No, I don't know. No new single has an add date yet. |

"A New Game" is way too heavy to be their rock single. They're probably releasing it to metal specialty programs...kinda like Hellyeah did with their eponymous track, Slipknot did with "All Hope Is Gone," and All That Remains did with "Chiron." Though I'm not sure if all of those had videos.

^ You could say Five Finger Death Punch did it by releasing a video for "The Way of the Fist" coinciding with the single release of "Stranger Than Fiction."

I was gonna use that as an example too, but then I forgot that I hadn't typed it already when I got to the All That Remains example.

Yeah, Stone Sour also did that way back for 30/30-150.

Oh well, IMO this forum should include metal. That includes topics for metal only singles and the Mediabase Metal chart found on FMQB. Why not?

Here's another song by an "active rock" band with plenty of Alternative success under their belt, whose new single is getting screwed on Alt radio.
