And to think I bought the original version. Bought? Such a sweet kid... Frankly, I think strings would ruin the song. Not like it was worth more than a cool novelty tune to me, though. The fact that it's become a hit single kind of takes the fun out of it for me. |

Yes, I thought the version we'd been hearing all these weeks on radio had orchestra strings. I haven't seen it for sale yet, but I'll get it when the greatest hits CD is out. Or are they putting a sequel to the latest album out like Disclaimer?

I'll stick with the original, thank you very much. The strings overdo it for me.

There's been nothing to suggest that they're doing either a GH or a rerelease, but probably what they might do is put this on the b-sides comp that they're planning. |

Some current peaks on Billboard:
#76 on Hot 100
#22 on Modern Rock
#23 on Mainstream Rock
It looks like this will become a huge hit, just look at how fast it's rising on the rock formats. Should go top 5 on both Active and Alternative easily. I bet it will be big at CHR too!
It's interesting to see it had massive downloads on the first week, which led it to debut at #76 on Hot 100. Fell off the following week and returned at #78 this week.
I like this a lot. What a great cover! "Careless Whisper" is one of my favorite 80's songs and I think this Seether's version is even better. :)
Comparing it with the three singles from "Finding Beauty In Negative Spaces", I think only "Fake It" beats this.

As you can imagine, it doesn't smell that good, but I'm sure it would sound good. |

I'd consider that one a "Special Circumstance" though. They were just trying to get out of their contract with Victory and move on. However, I guess that doesn't make your statement any less true. |

I seriously doubt they're releasing a greatest hits with only three albums to their name. Plenty of bands have Only in special cases though, like Jane's Addiction for example, because they've only had three albums to their name at the time. Nirvana is another good choice, who had only four albums, or Alice In Chains, who only had three albums and their EPs. For more modern bands, Atreyu had one only to get out of their contract with Victory, as was said. Dead Poetic had one only because their label wanted to cash in on their career. Further Seems Forever and Creed only ever had three albums before they split. There are a good and bad reasons for each of them, but at least they are sensible reasons. Seether has a good working relationship with Wind-Up. There is no reason for either to release a Greatest Hits for the band at this point. Maybe after a fourth or even fifth album, they might want to, but apart from that there's no real need. It would really just be a cash-in, and I don't think Seether has enough hits to be able to pull one off successfully. I mean, what would you have, "Gasoline", "Driven Under", "Fine Again", "Broken", "Truth", "Remedy", "The Gift", "Fake It", "Rise Above This", "Careless Whisper", and "Breakdown". That's eleven singles. Maybe enough to make a disc, but hardly enough to make a worthwhile hits collection from, IMO. |

They'd probably put the crap version of "Broken" without Amy Lee on there too lol. But hey, if worse comes to worse they could always throw some Saron Gas tunes on there and call it new Seether.

And I'm pretty sure releasing Saron Gas stuff is what the proposed rarities collection is for. That I'm really interested in, if they end up doing it. They want to put it out sometime this year because it's Seether's 10th anniversary. |

Ew, seriously? I always found the original Broken really boring, in fact Shaun sounds extremely bored singing it. Then Amy Lee was added to it and it became a great song IMO. Not accusing you of this, but one thing I can't stand is when Seether fans (fans that originally liked "Broken" with Amy) go back and talk about how much they hate that they changed the song now that the pair's relationship has ended on a very sour note. Music is music, let it be. Just thought I would get that out.
Seether rarities? Sure, why not? I'm a casual fan and I might give it a shot.

I'm really just kidding, I don't mind the Lee version. Anyway, that's probably the one they'd end up putting on a GH anyway, cause that's the one that had success.

Wow, I can't believe this is doing so well.
I love Seether, but this song just sounds like crap to me.

I was saying I wouldn't buy this as a CD single. But of course I would if it is packaged with some non-album tracks on the greatest hits disc. It would be funny if this turns out to be their biggest song.

I really like this cover now. At first I was unhappy because there are many other great songs on "Finding Beauty in Negative Spaces" that I would have liked to see released. Yet, releasing this should serve as an excellent transistion and ensure future success.

You know.....what this song still really needs is the falsettos....I wish he would have at least attempted them, I bet they're hiding on a cutting room floor somewhere.
