This sounds like a U2 song. I hope I'm not the only one that thinks that.

No I understand, it does sound like something U2 would do. Bono and Leto just don't sound very similar

I can't wait for the video for this, I'm sure it'll be good, and long, seeing that all their videos take a year to watch.

Wasn't expecting quite so much instant impact, but it deserves it plus it'll drop the ancient songs one more notch.
Not sure of the Pop potential here. "The Kill" went to #30 or so, so I'd imagine this could match that if promoted.

First impression on the radio today was a little disappointing. Way too overblown. It didn't help that the song was so long, either. Hmm... this sounds like the same verbiage one might use to describe "Welcome to the Black Parade". (But I like that one a lot and I like this one a lot, too. It'll probably end up 2nd on my list of favorite 30STM singles after "The Kill".)

I guess the difference for me is it was something unexpected from MCR, but it's something all too easy to see coming from a band like 30STM, who've been flirting with those qualities and toeing that line for most of their career already. This easily comes in dead last for me, among 30STM's 7 singles so far.

Yeah, it is not as good as all the others, now that I think about it. I wouldn't say "easily", though.
Just found out I'll be getting to see them Dec. 19 in Cleveland, even though my excitement level isn't quite as enormous as it once was.

Strange, I thought "From Yesterday" was one of their best singles.

From a metalhead's perspective, the Major key chorus four-chord chorus doesn't help too much. I also don't like the line "On his face is a map of the world." I didn't really get the metaphor and what it had to do with the rest of the song. It just seemed pretentious. It's also the least like their first album of any of their singles, and as you can see from my singles rankings, I was more into their space-age proggy nu-metal phase.

My rankings:
1. The Kill
2. Edge of the Earth (Wow... when it came down to it, I'm surprised this ended up #2. Not by much though.) 3. Attack 4. Capricorn (A Brand New Name) (I'll put Kings & Queens here for now, even though I said it would "probably" end up #2. I'll amend that to saying it definitely has the potential to end up #2.)
5. From Yesterday 6. A Beautiful Lie

1. The Kill 2. From Yesterday 3. Kings & Queens 4. Capricorn (A Brand New Name) 5. Attack 6. Edge of the Earth 7. A Beautiful Lie
"Kings & Queens'" rank is more or less a projection. As of now I probably enjoy "Capricorn" more, but it wasn't as immediate as "Kings" was. "The Kill" and "From Yesterday" instantly became two of my favorite songs on first listen.

I've heard the other ones just don't know them as well, can't rank them.

^Damn, that's quick. I don't really keep up with how the Alternative / Rock stations work, but that's awesome. I wonder when the video will come out for this?

Capricorn will always be my favorite song from these guys, they'll have to really blow me away to change that and honestly this doesnt come close. In fact after many tries at listening to it I realized I can barely make it through the song. I think my verdict says that I don't like this song very much.

Although I would agree with these sentiments regarding "Welcome To The Black Parade", I don't agree with the comments regarding the pretentiousness of this all-familiar :30STM nu-balad. Unless my memory is failing me (again), "Welcome To The Black Parade" "earned" quicker access to the top ten, top five, and ultimately #1 slot, though.
"Kings & Queens", though. Fan-freaking-tastic song, in my opinion.
