It's about time this got a release. March 16th is the add date for the third single from 10 Years, and honestly, I think this should've gone instead of "So Long Goodbye". I just hope it does better than the last couple singles. This band needs another hit.

I was surprised and glad to hear that they're sending a third single to the airwaves and probably my favorite track on the album. I agree So Long Goodbye" was a completely poor choice for a single. "Beautiful" did fairly well, but it's been a long time since then so I'm hoping this gets them back in the spotlight.

As much as I like the new version of So Long, Goodbye, this should have been the second single.

I didn't really remember how "Beautiful" did and I think I was mentally subtracting it in any case, because it's the only single of theirs other than "Wasteland" to do anything decent anywhere. All others have flopped in comparison. |

I wouldnt say its fading, look at Shinedown, they've still yet to miss the top 5 on Active True, but they're somewhere in between. They're not cock-rock in that they don't have sleazy content and they are influenced a lot by Tool just like all those other mid-2000's bands like 10 Years and Evans Blue, but Shinedown also is undeniably southern rock which ties them with cock rock a bit. My point is more that non-staple artists will do worse with 10 years-ish music now than 5 years ago. "Seasons" by Veer Union would probably have gone top 5 five years ago. I don't see that happening now, but maybe. 10 Years' "Beautiful" probably would have been nearly as big as "Wasteland" had it come out a year earlier than it did. |

I think of cock rock not as a sound but as a philosophy of the whole get drunk, bang chicks, party kind of mentality, and Shinedown doesn't fall into that.

^^^ yeah, I think Shinedown and 10 Years are two very similar and comparable bands. The bottom line is that 10 Years has really only had 1 good enough hit per album. Ive heard the latest 10 Years album, and the only song I really have significant interest in that hasnt already been released is "Russian Roulette." They dont have enough good songs to pull multiple hits out. You'll have to wait for next album's lead single to see them get another big hit. Shinedown on the other hand is incredible, a band that has several different sounds that will keep them around for years, and successful too.

There is a simple explanation for similarities in 10 Years and Shinedown.
10 Years hails from Knoxville, Tennessee.
Brent Smith was born and raised in ........Knoxville, Tennessee.
One might assume the two bands had similar influences and perhaps even know each other from back in the day.

You'll have to wait for next album's lead single to see them get another big hit. Except that "Beautiful" wasn't nearly as big as "Wasteland," so there'll be less interest in the band the next time out. |

Oh I agree completely, by hit I was just meaning a top 10, and I see the next album's lead single probably peaking in the 8-10 range |
