I don't get how they have a typical sound with only three charting singles. And all three were pretty different. Because not every one judges a band sound off of just singles? And this song is also pretty much the same style as "Face Down" and "False Pretense". |

I can see the comparisons to "Face Down" & "False Pretense," but I don't think it's as pop-punky. Not really "You Better Pray," which I don't think sounds anything like anything else they've done and definitely not "Your Guardian Angel."

Well, even the wrong title of this topic is obsolete now.
This will debut at #37 on Modern next week supposedly as Pen & Paper (Something Typical).

It debuted indeed and consequently, it outpeaked False Pretense's #39, becoming the band's 3rd biggest hit on the chart. It has already charted on Billboard Hot 100 peaking at #75 back in January when it was released digitally. Their performance in rock radio in this album's era is surprising me. Other surprise is that so far, nothing went for adds to CHR. |

I was gonna say "Hot Verve Pipe Remake" but I'm confused. Why the thread title change? Just to spite artie?

How can it be spite? But somehow he's managed to screw up this exact same song twice. How is that possible? Third time will be a charm maybe?

Well the third topic has yet to be started. And I've been "lighten up" all evening.
