WOW! It's been getting much airplay in BOTH alternative and active. They should thank WWE for this

"Thank" isn't really the word I had in mind.

He doesn't like the word "thank" because he doesn't appreciate the direction that WWE is encouraging them to take. To talk on Penance's behalf.

I would expect this to outpeak "All the Same" on both Active and Alternative.

I would expect this to outpeak "All the Same" on both Active and Alternative. That would be a crime against humanity, though it seems almost inevitable at this point "My World" is still one of the greatest songs ever written, so I cannot give up on the pups yet.

I like "What Are You Looking For" more than "My World".

I like "What Are You Looking For" more than "My World". I figured as much, I'll never forget one of your posts about that song. I was still a relatively new member and well, it made me laugh: I just want to say that I love this song. I want to stroke it like a pretty pretty pet.

This song just might do better on Active than Alternative.

The album is actually better than I thought it would be. I was worried every song would sound like this, but they have a few that revert back to their old sound.
White Balloons is the standout in my opinion.

I thought the record sounded terrible, both the songs and the production overall

I like some songs on it and others just strike me as meh. "White Balloons" was one that stood out, as did "Riptide" and "Odd One". I even approve of the final version of "War", although "You're Going Down" is still a really stupid song.

Riptide is glorious. The rest is "eh"

Yeah, now that I listen more...White Balloons, Riptide, and Odd One stand out for me. And I'm finding myself liking War a bit more...even though I hated it at first. It's just different is all.

What's changed about "War"? Did they chop about 3 minutes off the song?

Maybe it's because now I know they still have some of the old Puppies in them so I'm able to relax and enjoy that song for what it is. I'm not sure.

I'm probably in the minority here, but I love the new album and think it's even better than "Dressed Up For Life." I have no idea why they released "You're Going Down" as a single to show that this is what their new material will sound like because it's probably the worst song on the album. Every other song could be a potential future one. I'm glad I went starting to listen to it like it was going to be horrible because it has completely shocked my expectations.

I don't know about better, but it's definitely not the slump I thought it was going to be. "You're Going Down" still sucks though. I hope "Riptide" is the next single.

I wouldn't say it's better. Dressed Up As a Life is one of those I can listen all the way through and love. While Tri-Polar has some strong tracks it also has one's like You're Going Down and I Hate You. I really hope that White Balloons is a single at some point though, it's up therewith My World and All the Same for me now.

what an accomplishment. I smell #1 Definitely is, seeing as how All the Same only scraped the top 40 on Active.

Yeah, thats a pretty nasty smell. I would expect "Check My Brain", "Whiskey Hangover", "Overcome" or possibly "I Will Not Bow" to be the next #1 though.
