I said all four of them were "So-so" and that I didn't expect or want to hear any of them on my pop station. On the Alternative survey, my only difference was that I expected to hear them on my local station.
In the comments section of whatever the first song was, I said something to the effect of "My biggest criticism of Shinedown is that they don't have an original enough sound and that Brent over-sings."
For "Call Me," I said at least a piano ballad is a different sound for them. (I chose it as my favorite of the four at the end.)
For whatever the third song was, I said to see the comments on the first song, plus the synthetic drums and effects at the beginning of the clip didn't suit Shinedown well.
For the last song, "The Crow and the Butterfly," I believe, I said to see my comments on the first song and that my ears were fatigued after listening to four brand new Shinedown song clips back to back.

I chose "The Crow And The Butterfly" but I'd be very happy with any of the choices above. I literally sat there for ten minutes after the survey was done deciding what song seemed best. You should've taken five more minutes, you made the wrong choice.

I'm trying to think of a response that properly reflects crushing disappointment without sounding rude. So I'm going with this.

8 6 SHINEDOWN Sound Of Madness 1339 1310 29 4.372
15 14 SHINEDOWN Second Chance 1001 975 26 3.681
You know, it'd really suck if the sudden resurgence of "Second Chance" kept "Sound of Madness" from being Shinedown's 10th straight top 5 hit.

at least Sound of Madness is one position away from getting to #5. That's never happened to have all the singles reach the top #5 like Shinedown is about to do

8 6 SHINEDOWN Sound Of Madness 1367 1334 33 4.622 15 14 SHINEDOWN Second Chance 1031 960 71 3.832 You've gotta be kidding me. The other day I said something about "Second Chance" getting a boost, since it's number 11 on pop and might just barely scrape the top 10 there. Now it's decreasing worse there, and it's hurting SoM here. 11 10 MUDVAYNE Do What You Do 1173 1134 39 4.751 16 15 MUDVAYNE Scarlet Letters 885 834 51 2.340 This is interesting as well.

I find that interesting too. But Scarlet Letters' getting more spins now. Maybe DWYD will slip and SL will make the top 10 in the next couple of days

Stating the obvious, but... Madness do NOT sound like this! I felt tempted to do that for awhile and don't know if anyone did earlier.

well, with Know Your Enemy being in the top of the active rock, Sound of Madness has a slim chance of reaching the top

its not that far away from it and it seems like Know Your Enemy its starting slowing down..and there is not so big difference in spins..so i believe there are good chances for Sound of madness to hit #1 maybe sometime late in June

I'm not sure Know Your Enemy will stick around too long on active rock.

For months I haven't been able to get into this song, and then all of a sudden it just clicked for me and I've been listening to it a ton in the last week. I think it's my 2nd fav from the album now, after SC of course.

Of course? lol. Not a bad thing, I just never ranked that song very high when compared to the rest of the album. Although, it might be top 5 for me now, it just seems like that rare song that only gets better once radio overdoes it. When I first got the album (which came out on my birthday last year, heck yeah), it just didn't stand out very much.

^Funny, SC and Devour were the only songs I liked on the album for quite some time. It took several listens before anything else grew on me. I think SC is about as good of a rock ballad you can ask for, and the only true exceptional track on the album for me (not that I don't like several others, just not what I'd call anything too above average). On the other end of the power ballad spectrum, I don't understand why so many seem to like Breaking Inside. I think it's very bland and forgettable.

I know Second Chance was big, but I did not see it coming for this to be a bigger hit than "Devour" which kills this IMO

I loved "Devour" when it first came out, but I think I killed it by overplaying before the album came out. Personally, I've preferred SoM since I first heard it.

I donno, lyrically SoM is better, I prefer Devour all around though, especially since lyrics arent that important for me
