confirmed at a concert and this is almost 100%, the first single off Awake will be Monster. here is monster live, you have to John try to be funny first though :) www.youtube.com/watch?v=qCU0AhBj2BYLyrics V1 the secret side of me i never let you see i keep it caged but i can't control it so stay away from me the beast is ugly i feel the rage and i just can't hold it it's scratchin on the walls in the closet, in the halls it comes awake and i can't control it hidin under the bed in my body, in my head why won't somebody come and save me from this make it end CHORUS: i feel it deep within it's just beneath the skin i must confess that i feel like a monster i hate what i've become the nightmare's just begun i must confess that i feel like a monster i feel like a monster V2 my secret side i keep hid under lock and key i keep it caged but i can't control it cause if i let him out he'll tear me up, break me down why won't somebody come and save me from this make it end bridge: its hidin in the dark its teeth are razor sharp there's no escape for me it wants my soul it wants my heart no one can hear me scream maybe its just a dream or maybe its inside of me stop this monster

Looks lyrically very much like "Animal I Have Become".
Based on what I hear, I like "Hero" better.

Really lookin forward to this. It's funny because it looks like they're really pulling to make it look like the sequal to Comatose. With the artwork being a guy waking up from a comatose. I like it.

Listen here mms://216.52.224.116/verifiedwma/1666537.wmaI like it, but if I would have heard this on the radio without the station or DJ saying what it is, I would have definitely thought it was a new single from Three Days Grace.

I like it. It does sound a lot like Three Days Grace though.

I'd say it will peak somewhere between 10-20 on Active. Maybe it will reach the Top 30 on Alternative. I'm hoping it does better than I'm saying.

What's their best? Didn't "Savior" peak at like #25? I really think this song can improve on that peak.
As for the 3DG references, they've always sounded like them because of John's voice. And the guitars are very much like 3DG, but it's also pretty much the same thing that any Active Rock band uses anyway. People are just complaining for nothing, IMO.

It seems kinda the same old thing upon a first listen. They rhyme too many things with "me" and "way"

I can't speak for any albums prior to Comatose, since I never gave Collide much of a listen and I never heard their previous albums, but I felt Comatose really stood out with its own voice due to a combination of the shared vocals and the orchestral angle, especially on "Rebirthing" and the title track. The difference is that this song really is extremely straightforward and in composition and subject matter bears strong similarities to Three Days Grace's "Animal I Have Become". It displays none of the imagination or creativity that the aforementioned songs on Comatose demonstrated. Feel free to disagree, but that's how I see things and how I imagine a lot of the other detractors see things as well.

I think Howard Benson really captured an amazing sound from what i have heard so far. plus they are in Cali recording an additional song right now!
