Look, can someone lock the other thread and get rid of it? Like throw it off a cliff or something? Let's just pick up where we left off here and discuss the song.

Well a dude's got to stick to his guns.
Anyway, does anyone have any predictions on how this will do? I'm not expecting much. I feel like this band's fifteen minutes are up.
Also, David Bendeth apparently gave a scathing review of the album on his MySpace, although that post has since been removed. It's funny cause he did the first album, and he was all like, "Wow, dodged that bullet."

You might be right about this being the end of fifteen minutes. In this day and age new bands really need to bring the "A game" to follow up albums once they become popular and this album is pretty much boring. Not that's it awful, just that's it pretty forgettable right away. I had higher hopes for them.

Agreed, funny. Was the wrong band and song created on purpose hoping that the old adage "two wrongs make a right" will come true? Or just humiliation? But I can definitely see why he wants the old topic erased from history. Cut him some slack though. Maybe the band is in talks to change their name now! On to the important stuff, Pen & Paper is the 10th most increased song on Modern today. It looks likes it's on pace to match or pass the success of You Better Pray. lol @ giving the thread the exact same title.

I've received word lately that Red Jumpsuit Apparatus is in talks to drop the "The" from their name, just like Panic dropped the !.

I did too, perhaps to come closer to matching the name of their official website (www.redjumpsuit.com) or their MySpace (www.myspace.com/redjumpsuit)? Has anyone actually gone to their official website? I just did; here's what I saw:

See, there's no way I can type the "The" sideways like that. It's just not possible.

Whoa! According to that address, they aren't even an Apparatus anymore. It kinda changes the whole meaning of the band's name. But good picture. Now scan the back of the disc and the entire issue is settled.

Argument is coming from the guy who doesn't realize that a certain band usually abbreviates their name as PUSA... although that was very '08.

I'm not sure who is arguing PUSA. But there is nothing to debate when it comes to the name of the band on this topic.
This single should be top 40 by next week.

There's nothing to debate because it doesn't matter, as long as you can tell what artist/song the topic title is referring to. So please drop it unless you'd like a warning.

Yeah, sadly, I have the only two posts about the song so far here. Nobody else has mentioned it yet.
But if this song does bomb, I hope No Spell gets a stab at radio. It sounds like a big hit.

I talked about the song.
And either "No Spell" or "Lonely Road" should go next, because they're the only other two good songs on the album.

This thread brings the LULZ.
I like this, I don't know if I like it more than Face Down, but it's not bad at all.

Now you're talking. That wasn't so hard.
I never got into Face Down, but once False Pretense, Damn Regret, and Waiting started catching my attention on radio I found the CD. I don't think anything will be better than You Better Pray quality wise from the new disc. But Pen & Paper has a great shot at being the signature single.

I know "Damn Regret" was a planned single at one point, but did it ever get released? ..."Waiting"?

It's decent enough, but it kinda sounds like something typical from these guys.

I don't get how they have a typical sound with only three charting singles. And all three were pretty different.
