I finally got around to listening to this. For a band coming out with a new album and single, I try to keep my expectations about one level below the stuff I've previously heard from them, because... well, I've been burned before.
That philosophy works well here with "Again", because the song is no worse than that one level below their other stuff, and I could easily see it ending up on par with the previous album's singles and even above one or two of them.
(as I hit "play" for the 3rd straight time...)

Awesome cover, except for the whole Debbie Harry, Gwen Stefani syndrome thing going on.

It's good except for the terrible job they did of superimposing her into the picture.

18 songs?! Hopefully they are all amazing. Wasn't all that into Flyleaf's last effort but this sounds more promising.

I've only listened to the album twice, but it's not as easy for me to get into as their self-titled. It is very good and Lacey never fails to impress me with her vocals, but it's difficult to determine what songs stick out more than others.

A couple weeks ago they were featured on the local rock station, WJRR. Performed and interviewed for a few hours, so I bought this track. I want to get the whole album soon though.

I'm gonna totally street team for a moment (I'm kidding of course, but it's going to come off that way) but....
Canadian band Die Mannequin's album Fino+Bleed does this style of music with a female lead singer much better than this. Of course it's a personal opinion, I don't like Flyleaf at all but if you like this try searching out Die Mannequin and comparing. I'd suggest starting with Bad Medicine and Locking Elizabeth.

I should've mentioned this awhile ago, but this is already my second favorite Flyleaf single, behind "All Around Me." Might or might not overthrow it eventually.
It's a little repetitive, but what sells the song for me, is something very simple that pays off in a huge way. And that is Lacey's wordless background vocals in the final choruses of the song. Totally gives the end of the song a climactic feel that it wouldn't have otherwise.
