Promo Only Modern CD. No adds date yet for October.
This one rocks. But I don't see Modern radio giving it much play.

If they were going to go for another hard rock hit, they should've chosen "Kick Back", but really they should've picked "The Past Is The Past" for crossover potential.

Yeah, I mean, at this point, shouldn't a mainstream radio rock band that's been around this long just try to cash in with any potential crossover material they put on their albums after "core format" singles fail to catch fire? I mean, seriously, Hugo's not getting any younger and it's not like the "Breakdown" money set him for life. |

I mean, seriously, Hugo's not getting any younger and it's not like the "Breakdown" money set him for life. I know. They came back after a four-year silence and with Hugo the only original member remaining, and somehow managed to have "Down And Out" climb active to #8, which is phenomenal. Then instead of following it up with the obvious choice, "The One", they release a b-side and tack it onto a digital version of the album. Of course it bombs. And do they then try to salvage that album and the buzz their return might be generating? Nope. They record a new album. Okay, fine. And now who knows if "Mind Control" will ever reach the heights of "Down And Out"? And do they follow it up with the likely choice then? Nope. I dunno, I love their music and both albums are ridiculously solid but I'm starting to see why the other guys left. I hope it's not Hugo making these decisions because they're increasingly poor. |

Maybe Silent Majority has lost touch with what the majority of music listeners would want to listen to. My guess it's a label choice. It should be said that both of their lead single choices have been dead on. Even if "Mind Control" doesn't match "Down And Out"'s success, the song feels very much like a Tantric lead single. And I feel like the song deserves better than it's done so far.
Plus didn't "Down And Out" peak higher than #8 on active rock? I remember it peaking at #6 or #5 on active. Is #8 maybe its billboard mainstream rock peak?

Probably. I dunno, like Bieler Bros., Silent Majority picks some really good bands to sign up, but they haven't made the best decisions on how to promote them.

On the other hand, I guess they were right on the ball with Framing Hanley's "Lollipop".

I have been listening to this cd for about two weeks straight. It is really good but I can't believe they are not going with The Past Is The Past. This is such a good song. Heck they could have even went with What Are You Waiting For and got more of a response than they will get with Coming Undone. I see TPITP getting the same reaction as Shinedown got with Second Chance. Of course not quite as huge as Second Chance, but would get the audience more involved with the album. BTW, I thought Mind Control would blow up the charts but I guess they should be happy with where it is. Now I just hope TPITP gets a shot.

Goes for adds officially on October 26th. Suprising that "Mind Control" flopped, I don't see this doing much better. All Tantric's previous lead singles cracked the top 10 whilst "Mind Control" failed to reach the top 20.

Well "Hey now" wasn't exactly a hit. It flew up the chart on the merits of being the album after "Breakdown" blew up the charts and flew down the chart in a matter of weeks. "Down and Out" had a slow steady rise because a lot of programmers probably thought that Tantric was done. "Mind Control" was hurt probably by the lack of success of "Fall Down" and that "Mind Control" was released soon enough after "Fall Down" as to feel like a third single following a flop second single.

I agree that Kick Back ought to have been the next one.

eh its still their most successful second single since the lead album, leads me to believe it would have excelled as a lead single. But I guess we'll never know for sure
