I'm posting this in this section because it probably wouldn't be read in the polls section.
I think either If You Only Knew or Breaking Inside should the next single. And either of these songs should be released to pop as a follow-up to Second Chance

They said they planned (I emphasize that because Nick felt the need to call me out on it last time) on releasing at least three more singles. If that's the case, I hope they release "Breaking Inside," IFOK, and "What A Shame." Although, I would not complain if I heard "Call Me" on the radio. IFOK seems like the obvious pop followup, and "What A Shame" is a bonafide rock hit IMO. And "Breaking Inside" could do well on either format, especially after the success of "Second Chance."

I want Call Me or Breaking Inside.
But I also really like Sin With a Grin and Cry for Help. (I honestly don't think Sound of Madness was the best single choice)

If they want to just release one single to rock, HAC, and CHR, I think The Crow and the Butterfly could work. If they want a heavier one than that for rock formats, then Sin With a Grin for Rock,and either The Crow and The Butterfly or Breaking Inside for HAC/CHR is how I would do it. I don't think Breaking Inside would be a good choice for rock, I definitely think it would break their Active top 5 streak, even if it did manage to go top 10.

I voted "Breaking Inside" despite "Call Me" being by far my favorite, and "What A Shame" being my second favorite.

"If You Only Knew" would be the best all-round choice for me.

I really think they should go with If You Only Knew, then finish by retaining rock cred with What A Shame as single #5. If IYOK does really well (like literally goes top 10 on pop) then try out Breaking Inside too as single #6, then if they do that they have to have a 7th rock single, Cry For Help or Cyanide Sweet Tooth Suicide once again to keep their rock credibility, I donno I might just be paranoid but I just keep having a bad feeling about ending an album with a pop single

My choice would be Sin With A Grin. Everything else wouldn't fit radio in my opinion.

I think we're getting a little carried away here... All the Right Reasons was really an anomaly of a rock album. |

I know, and I was just thinking aloud, but like I said, if say "If You Only Knew" went to pop next and went top 10, and convinced them to send "Breaking Inside" there too, then comes my scenario where it goes 7 singles deep. But what I really hope is 5 singles to be the end, IYOK 4th and What A Shame 5th |

I think it needs to be The Crow and the Butterfly (for all formats) then Sin With a Grin for rock to close out the era.

I think "If You Only Knew" is catchier.

I don't find either of those songs catchy. Before I heard the album and ratethemusic played both choruses in their clips, I was just like...ehhhhh. The songs with the best choruses have already become singles.

I think "If You Only Knew" is catchier. agreed, and I think the lyrics suit all formats perfectly "It's 4:03, and I can't sleep, without you next to me I, toss and turn like the sea." That's perfect for a rock ballad, will do well on both formats, and its a great pop love song, I donno I think it's just the best overall all-formats choice |

I'm not so sure they should release it to rock. It would do well, but not by Shinedown standards. If they're gonna release IFOK or "Call Me," I think they need to ONLY release them to pop and HAC, and send a different single to rock radio. The only song I can see doing well on both is "Breaking Inside." Still, I definitely agree that "What A Shame" should be released, and I too don't see the single-quality of "Crow." Really, they could go a dozen different directions from this point.

I think that all the four remaining ballads have single potential. Shinedown may have wrote the album of their career with The Sound Of Madness.
It's really hard to give my opinion in this 'cause I love the 4 remaining ballads about the same and they aren't likely to release all as singles.
Well, I think I would go with "If You Only Knew" to CHR and Hot AC. I think it is the catchiest remaining ballad and is perfectly suited to those formats. While that one was hopefully climbing those formats, I would send "Cyanide Sweet Tooth Suicide" to the rock formats. I could see it going top 20 on Alternative and top 3 on Active.
When both were done, I would follow with "The Crow & The Butterfly" to Hot AC, CHR and rock formats. In my opinion, that one is the only of the 4 ballads that would secure their Billboard Mainstream Rock top 5 streak. It has that epic feel that "Second Chance" has.
If "If You Only Knew" and "The Crow & The Butterfly" were sucessful on CHR and Hot AC, I would end the era releasing "Call Me" over there. It's not the typical Shinedown song and would show people a different side of them.

I'd rather Shinedown release "What A Shame" or "Sin With A Grin" to rock if they only release "If You Only Knew" to pop, because "Cyanide" blows. Worst song on the album.

Well, and I fucking hope they don't release "What A Shame" 'cause it sounds like Shinedown's past stuff in which I just can't get into.

(Not the fact that I like it but that it's similar to Hinder and many other cock rock songs). |

Only song on the album I've never gotten into at all. The only thing I like about it is it's name. I'm also starting to agree with you that IYOK might be the best next single choice. |

I just really don't want them to release Breaking Inside of the 4 ballads. I think the other 3 are so much stronger. |
