I thought I heard somewhere that "The Royal We" was next? Maybe not, I don't know.

Actually I was wrong. It was "There's No Secrets This Year" that I heard as a next single. Not "It's Nice To Know You Work Alone." But yes, about 2/3 of the album are choices that I could see doing very well. This album is so much better overall than their last one.

There was an article posted by FMQB in the thread for "The Royal We" (when that was supposed to the next single) that they were shooting a video for "Substitution".
I agree that about 2/3 of the album could be a single, but this song shouldn't have been one IMO. It will probably do at least top 30, though, riding the coattails of "Panic Switch".

I've always felt the best and most compelling voices are the ones that don't sound like anyone else. I won't say he's got a good voice, but it works for his music and it's easily identifiable. |

I agree for the most part. But I don't think that "unique" necessarily means "good," and vice versa. It's compelling for sure, but I'd say it's far from one of the best. Favorite voices for me: John Cooper (Love the rasp), Brent Smith Myles Kennedy (since they pretty much soar), and Trevor McNevan (probably the most versatile singer I've heard in a long time). His voice just doesn't do it for me, I guess. |

Goes for adds September 15th. Where have you got this from exactly? Because someone else posted a thread for "The Royal We" with an adds date aswell. "Substitution" would be the must better choice imo. |

Also, quick cut shows "Substitution" having 90 plays this past week on alternative and "The Royal We" having 26 plays on alternative. More evidence in favor of this.
I prefer "The Royal We" myself. This song feels a bit more boring. I like a lot of songs on the album more than I like "Substitution."

its listed on FMQB now too as Substitution, so I think the debate can die. It really doesn't matter almost every song on this album is great, they'd pretty much all find an audience.

The video's pretty lame.
I remember the song a lot better than I thought I would, though.

While I once accidentally said this was my least favorite song and a bore, I really meant by "Draning."
This song's just fine. It just isn't anywhere near "Panic Switch" is all.

^Whereas I actually still do mean it. "Draining", although in my bottom 3, I can see the appeal as an album cut.

Considering how big "Panic Switch" was as well as the singles off the last album, this is probably confirmation that "Substitution" was not the best single choice. I still like it though.

They really should've done "The Royal We". Or "It's Nice To Know You Work Alone".

I would have liked "The Royal We" myself, though wasn't everyone else hoping for "No Secrets?"

I don't think No Secrets This Year ever really had a chance to be a radio pushed single as they used it as a teaser before Panic Switch.

Does this award still represent a Kiss of Death?

So, Silversun Pickups was nominated for a Best New Artist Grammy... As if all the voters had their heads up their asses when "Lazy Eye" was a mammoth sleeper hit 2 years ago and "Well Thought Out Twinkles" went Top 10, but especially "Lazy Eye."  Not to mention the nominations of MGMT and the Ting Tings a year late. Way to be on the ball guys. And with all 5 Album of the Year nominations completely wasted on 5 of the most popular, but hardly unanimously critically acclaimed albums (Lady Gaga, Beyonce, DMB, Taylor Swift, BEP), the awards are more of an out-of-touch joke than when they were skewing too heavily toward old-timer stuff. |

At least MGMT and the Ting Tings were nominated with their debut era stuff. No one remembers the Fountains of Wayne nom in 2003? That was way worse. But I guess that "Radiation Vibe" didn't get them very widely known in the mainstream.

I prefer to think of the whole New Artist award as detatched from the whole 2009 aspect of the thing. That makes it so much easier to understand.
