I'm hoping this doesn't go recurrent on Alternative next week.

No! No! This still has some fight left in it yet.

Fine fine. But songs like "White Balloons" and "In It For Life" are much more catchier than this one, so if Odd One can get this far, one of their top-end songs could really do well assuming they don't dither around too long before releasign it.

They would be weird selections. "Riptide" seems so obvious to me. Then possibly "Don't Walk Away''.

Riptide would be awesome as well. I was thinking they go in a route that would pick the alt stations back up, but Riptide would definitely kick ass on active.

"Riptide" would tear it up on both formats as far as I'm concerned.

I hope it could work on alternative. It's a bit edgy, but alt. has been going more in that direction as of late. I think White Balloons is their All The Same of this era, so if they need to get alt. back, that's the surefire way.

I can't see them going with ''White Balloons'', Sick Puppies are more Active Rock friendly these days it would appear.

I still think they're an alt-band at heart. "All The Same" is still their signature song and it definitely has an alt. and not an active sort of cut. That said, I definitely see the appeal of Riptide and it is a fine direction to take the next single. I still urge them to release "In It For Life" as it is simply the best song on the album -- but I know it won't happen.

Agreed on Riptide. In It For Life is alright but feels more like a good album track than anything else.

u know, I read that they chose Odd One over Riptide as the second single. Since my Alt station played the hell out of "War," I keep forgetting this is actually only the second "official" single to everyone else. How did I get so lucky. 2 months later and I'd already forgotten all over again that we're officially only on single #2, here.

I'm absolutely loving "Riptide" right now. I think it could be huge although it seems about a minute too short! Thankfully it's not 1986 and I don't have to rewind a tape to hear it again.
