Wiat, Monster is already at Christian so closely behind Hero? Moves fast over there I guess these days. I never noticed until today..... check that first word sorry I'm bored lol, I need a bunch of new music to drop I'm completely burnt on almost everything....I've resorted to listening to Katy Perry's new song oh and checking out the probable last Scorpions album which is pretty damn good.

I got a special rate the music survey for these guys, presumably for their next single. The choices were "Sometimes", "Awake & Alive", "It's not me, it's you", and "Don't Wake Me". I haven't heard the whole album, but "Awake & Alive" destroyed the other three songs which were all mediocre or bad.

"Sometimes" kicks live, same with "Monster," but those two along with "It's Not Me, It's You" sound fairly dull on the CD. "Don't Wake Me" is good, but you made the right choice. They should release "Lucy" to HAC or something.

"Sometimes" wasn't bad, better than I was expecting, in fact. But "Don't Wake Me" was sappy and generic, while "It's Not Me, It's You" was overly simplistic and felt, unfair as it might be, like another Three Days Grace ripoff.

What you said here were pretty much my comments in the rate the music survey, so if you said it to them as well, they're probably getting that feedback. Anyway, just for good measure, they sent out yet another survey today with "Hero" and "Believe" on it. My guess is that they're trying to see how people who liked "Hero" will feel about "Believe". Adding "Believe" into the mix of potential future singles, it was the stronger than all of the mediocre/bad candidates from the last survey, but still not matching "Awake & Alive"

The same survey was sent out to the Pop format, so maybe that's the underlying reason for including "Hero" (which hasn't even hit the Alternative chart, keep in mind) in the second survey.
Anyway, while I felt that song was disposable, more important to me was my enthusiasm for a male/female vocal dynamic on a decent enough rock song, which the format is sorely lacking. Or any female beyond Lacey Mosley, for that matter. Jesus.
"Believe" on the other hand, was too melodramatic for me to stomach.

^ Really? Now how the hell did it do that? ???
Only got to #12, it's not in the Top 20 recurents, it never charted on the Hot 100 or Bubbling Under, and I don't think this appeared on any digital charts before. Did "Monster" go Gold before?

Yeah, this seems like a bit of a mystery. Timmy & his panhead chums have gone under the radar with this one.

Haha. I'm not sure "Hero" had that luxury. I wouldn't rule it out for "Awake and Alive".
