Good choice imo. Though I like White Balloons a bit more.
Probably my 2nd favorite on the album.

It doesn't sound like a single to me, but it does sound more like the Sick Puppies than "You're Going Down" did.
I agree that "White Balloons" is easily my favorite song on the album, and that "Rip Tide" sounds the most like a single.

GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! Release radio songs, not good songs. Americans like dumb songs like You're Going Down. Odd One is far too classy to work. I Hate You would have been perfect for radio because it's so loud and stupid.

^The problem with that is your future loyal fans will find you through your good songs. And if they haven't heard you yet, you have to find a way for them to hear you. Following up "You're Going Down" is a pretty good opportunity for that to happen. That's why I'd say they should release their best song now.

I hadn't listened to the album in quite awhile, so I made sure to bring it with me to work here today since my mind was rusty on what each song sounds like. I tried to decide if this was a good choice or not, but I came to conclusion that most of the album could be released to radio and it wouldn't make a difference which song because they were all good candidates.

Sick Puppies already got fans of their good music from the All The Same/My World combopunch of awesomeness of their last album. They're just broadening their reach to the idiot mainstream rock crowd with this album. They're never going to release the actual good songs on this album like White Balloons or In It For Life since those would scare off the average drunk American moron while only appealing to their true fans, but Odd One doesn't work as it is neither a great song for their real fans nor is it a stupid song about sex and beer. Thus it will fail.

This should return them to the top 10 on Alt. Im not sure about Active however. Maybe thats what he was referring to. |

It's funny how this is already top 40 on alternative where you need more spins to go top 40 than on active, and yet on active it's not even top 50. After the performance of "You're Going Down," you'd think their core format might have flipped from alternative to active but perhaps not. Or maybe it's because all the active stations are still obsessed with "You're Going Down" and the alternative stations have gotten over it.

After listening to Riptide a few more times, I see where you're coming from. It'd be a great single.
Still like this one as well though.

They don't really get that much airplay though I'd gladly give you some of their St. Louis airplay if that were somehow possible. It was a major burn last year, though, when my Alt station somehow omitted "My World" from their entire year-end countdown, when I was still expecting it to turn up when they got into the Top 5.  |

Wow.
So they pretty much blew my mind tonight.
They picked all the right songs to play. Odd One, Riptide, Survive, Maybe. (Only complaint was no White Balloons, however I didn't expect that). And of course War and You're Going Down.
And all my favorites from the first album too except for Howard's Tale.

Did they play their misogynistic, god-awful, projectile-vomit-inducing mash-up of "Say My Name" and "Brain Stew"? Was that a "right song to play"? |
