"Last To Know" is a wonderful song if it had no words with it.

pen,
You're absolutely right, both Last to Know and World So Cold can give me goosebumps. And what each song says is concise and to the point. I just noticed that four sentence songs are not what I expect from a great Alternative rock track, it's what I expect from a Pop track. I usually like to hear a story, not a snippet.

So can anyone tell me if M. Shadows ended up on "The Good Life"? (I think that was the track, anyway.) Wikipedia doesn't list him on that track or anywhere else on the album now. And on Shadows' own Wikipedia page, it doesn't list any song by Three Days Grace as one of his featured collaborations.

I heard something about schedule conflicts? I don't know, with the exception of this thread, I'm not sure I heard anything about Shadows being on it or any other 3DG track.

Unless it goes #1 on Active and top 3 on Alternative, which doesn't seem that likely to happen, I don't see how anyone can say this had a good performance...

It's #5 and #7 right now on Active and Alt and it's up against Alice In Chains, Breaking Benjamin, Chevelle, Weezer, Muse, Foo Fighters, and Rise Against. In other words, cool it. Jesus.

Well put, and besides on alt its gonna bypass Chevelle soon enough and even BB because IWNB has like a day a week where it's bullet is greater (today for example) but then Break's gets better the rest of the week and starts reeling it in. Plus it is going #1 on Active if you take a look at the top 10. 2 1 BREAKING BENJAMIN I Will Not Bow 2047 1951 96 6.74 1 2 ALICE IN CHAINS Check My Brain 2027 2026 1 7.377 3 3 SICK PUPPIES You're Going Down 1860 1887 -27 5.727 4 4 CHEVELLE Jars 1844 1835 9 6.031 6 5 THREE DAYS GRACE Break 1699 1595 104 5.638 5 6 CREED Overcome 1645 1690 -45 5.145 7 7 FOO FIGHTERS Wheels 1357 1268 89 4.696 8 8 FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH Hard To See 1312 1242 70 3.839 10 9 DEAD BY SUNRISE Crawl Back In 1127 1079 48 3.008 12 10 ADELITAS WAY Invincible 1100 1028 72 2.668 in about 2 weeks it'll be #2 then its just a matter of catching BB

In case you guys don't remember, take a look at their chart history on both Alternative and Active... I'm done with this, now. I guess we have different points of view.

Looking at numbers is not enough though. You have to venture inside the numbers. What was out around the same time those songs peaked? Come on Fran, be smart about this.

Ugh, this is taking way too long on both formats. Thought it would've went #1 on Alt and Active and been on it's way down by now. I don't think it's done though. Just taking a long time.

"Break" is doing well. It's having longevity and as long as it can stay in the top 10 for a few more weeks, I would say that's a hit single.

Wow, had no idea it took 18 weeks on Alt. Thinking back, it seemed like it got there within 2 months of being out. I guess this isn't so slow then.

About "Break", I seriously think it's flopping. Have in consideration Three Days Grace standards, please... It's not looking like it will rise much more on Alternative and Active Rock. Would you like a towel to wipe that egg from your face? ;) This is going to #1.

I was hoping BB would hold them off until Shinedown caught up, oh well. One of the worst Active number ones this year IMO. Possibly the worst song on an otherwise good album.

if Break ends up #1, all the hate will be dissipated.

"I feel like a vampire"? Ok... But the part that really gets me is the fact that he rhymes "place is" with "places" in the chorus. Overall, it's a catchy song that isn't cock rock, so I'm grateful for that, I just think there are much more deserving songs on the chart as well as on Life Starts Now. If they release "World So Cold" next then all is forgiven, lol.

But even still, this is among their more simpler singles, like "Just Like You," "Pain," and "Riot," which are so repetitive and have so few lyrics (or depth) that they quickly become tiresome the more you hear them. Still, I prefer "Break" to Breaking Benjamin's "I Will Not Bow," which suffers for the same reasons.
