The fourth single from Take It To The Limit comes out on July 6th. Imagine my excitement.

Gauging by the chart performances of both their most recent Active Rock and Top 40-aimed releases, I think their fifteen minutes of fame have already all but diminished.
Even "Use Me" declined quickly down the Active Rock chart despite the high peak.
Sincerely,
Noah Eaton

The damage is already done.

The damage is already done. Exhibit A (and there are many exhibits): Papa Roach's gravitation toward the now-ubiquitous borderline-misogyny that has exploded thematically on the format since Hinder rose to fame and Buckcherry rebounded. Sincerely, Noah Eaton |

I'm still holding out hope that Jacoby might yet come to his senses.

Great choice. The most important track on the CD in my opinion.

I'm still holding out hope that Jacoby might yet come to his senses. I'm just baffled he even made that solitary step to begin with. Can you image someone overly earnest and pensive like Aaron Lewis following suit? I didn't expect Papa Roach to go down that road, but they have dipped their toes in that murky water, so who knows if other unlikely artists do likewise!  Sincerely, Noah Eaton |

I'd hesitate to call any track from Hinder "important".

I actually wanted to like "Hinder",as I liked "Lips Of An Angel", "Without You", but they're just so forgettable.
The band members, personalities or lack off, are not very appealing either.
Although saying that I havent given this a chance.

This is a good song. It's meaningful in contrast to their last 2 singles. Hopefully they'll send this to pop as well.

Although saying that I havent given this a chance. I could just TELL during their debut era that they were going to be a one-era wonder. I predicted that as "Lips Of An Angel" was soaring up the charts. Austin Winkler simply lacks the charisma, stage personality and a sharp penchant for hooks and melodies in songwriting as Chad Kroeger or Josh Todd does. They just come across as a quintet of ordinary rock star wannabes who base their perceptions of all that is rock and roll from what they see on VH1 "I Love The 80's" nostalgia specials and Penthouse magazine, and merely emulate the most trite stereotypes rather than try to write something even slightly creative. Even Josh Todd mixes it up a bit on Buckcherry records thematically speaking by writing songs based on literature like "A Child Called 'It'". With Hinder, they're making an "All In!" call on shameless emulation, and Nickelback do a much better job making it sound hooky and listenable. Sincerely, Noah Eaton |

I've always felt Hinder lacked authenticity and were just a bunch of hacks, but this articulates those feelings and digs a little deeper. |

It's Hinder, so I'm taking it for what it is, but with that being said after listening to this, it really doesn't sound bad at all.

^Why? Because it's not doing well? Or are you worried because you feel that Hinder wrote a good song?

I love this song, and come to think of it, this band. It's catchy, and I'm not picky.
Hinder's got better songs though, "Far From Home" comes to mind.

Bro, I'm okay with people disagreeing with me. Anywhere I go people are gonna bash me for liking Hinder  That said, I also like several other "good" bands, so I'm sure you guys can learn to deal with my taste. |

I gave this a listen (against my better judgement, mind you) but its not bad.
Much better than their last few awful releases.

I don't want to know anything about your "taste", you sicko. Now is that really necessary? It's not like he said he eats babies. He merely said he likes Hinder. Although the two are similar. |

Actually, I know that man, and I have it on good authority that he does indeed eat babies. With ketchup and mustard. |

It overpowers the delicate natural flavours. |
