Forgive if started, but I did not see it on first two pages. Sirius debuted the first single early in the week. Nothing special, but I enjoyed most of the last CD.

Personally, this is the most overrated new band of the last few years. This song is even more cringe worthy to me than the last album.

I quite like it. It's much better than "Horchata", the song from the album the band has a free download of on their website.

I thought their first album was fantastic. Cousins is decent, definately a grower

they released the official video for this song last week (or so). Like the promo for "A-Punk", this video is directed by Garth Jennings, the director behind the video for Blur's "Coffee & TV" and the film adaption of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

yuck, this is gonna rise fast and burn out even faster, and probably won't do any better than A-Punk did. Not to mention A-Punk was actually good

It's not bad or anything, but the only reason it's charting is on name recognition.
That doesn't explain the songs by Hockey, Crash Kings, Paper Tongues, Florence + the Machine, or the Temper Trap, though. (Though I do easily like the Paper Tongues song the best out of all of those bottom-half first timers and can understand why that song is charting.)

I don't know where I've been but I just bought their first cd. I absolutely love it! So far I'm not as excited about their new single though, but I can't wait for release of the new cd.

This song reminds me of "Something Is Not Right With Me", for some reason. It is equally as disappointing, but these are great bands, nonetheless.

After months and months, I've finally sort of gotten into the Too Fake song. It took me randomly hearing it on a mix I made and having no idea what it was until the chorus EVERY time I heard it to get forced into my brain.

Personally, this is the most overrated new band of the last few years. This song is even more cringe worthy to me than the last album. How can they be overexposed if they haven't gotten that much attention? lol

I pretty much only listen to my Alt rock station and the AAA station, so I know they have gotten attention (airplay) there. I wouldn't say it's enough to be called "overexposed" though However, I do get what you are saying. None of my friends had heard of VW, so I guess when I said "attention"... I was really referring to "mainstream/notice." My bad ;)

The album is expected to sell between 110-120k. Did they do a lot of promo, or was it just the hype from the success of their self titled?

Definitely the best song on radio for me right now, although Horchata would be blowing radio away I think. That sounds like a 2010 summer hit for certain. This is probably the worst goddamn song I've ever heard.

Maybe it's not popular enough yet for you? I bought the CD yesterday and have been fully impressed so far. It should be #1 on next week's album list.

Debuted at #1 on Billboard I read somewhere.
12th album on an independent label to ever do that I believe.

So as much as I've enjoyed NOT liking anything I've heard from this band (honestly THE most over rated band of the last two years IMO....which of course means nothing,lol) I have to admit that I'm actually liking the song Horchata and looking forward to its release. It Hot Shot Debuted on the Canadian Hot 100 this week.
This song however, still blows goats.

I honestly like this song more than A-Punk, although that isn't saying much.

What was your response to that quote? I think Cousins could sneak in at #1 a couple of months down the road on Alternative. Love this.
