I think this is the best choice, cause I think any of the other songs would either sound too throwaway ("Trust In You") or too cheeky ("Nothingtown"), so this fits in mostly well with their more serious angle this album cycle, plus it stands out I think as an anthem.

I think this choice just might have saved their careers. Their cred would have gone straight out the window if they released Fix You (which would have been HUGE, no doubt about it).

I think this is probably their best choice for 4th single, so well played.

lol I find it really cool to have The Offspring, 311, and Green Day all going at once I couldn't agree with you more. Those are three of my top five favorite all-time bands. If anyone wants to take a stab at what the other two are, one has new material out now but aren't getting much airplay or if any at all and the other one will have new stuff out in the very near future. But, yeah anyway. this is definitely a GREAT point in time for the music I love and have grown up with. Anyway, this is a fine choice for a fourth single after having a ballad as a third. I would have been happy with "Trust In You," "Takes Me Nowhere" or "Rise And Fall" as well. |

Hooray!
My Alt station just played this in regular rotation this morning, too. Plus, Jed played it on Out of Order last month or so. I had half a mind to start a topic for this song myself when I got home tonight, but obviously I didn't have to.

They're his hometown boys. |

I heard this for the first time yesterday through my own playlist on shuffle, and was seriously fooled by that intro thinking it was "New Born" by Muse.

Top 20 in Alternative! 24 20 OFFSPRING Half-Truism 618 595 23 2.443 So it's not dying after all!...yet.  This song truly kicks ass and probably should've been a single long before now. Even if it died off right now, I would've been content with its performance, as my local Alt station threw it into power rotation almost immediately. So it's not like I've been hurting for it at all. |
