"Happy Together" has thankfully been ditched. This is from the upcoming 2012 soundtrack. Goes for adds November 10th.

oh the so obvious is joke here....Take a Picture....
Looking forward to hearing it but I really doubt Filter's chances on radio anymore. I'm hoping to be proven wrong. Just glad they ditched Happy Together, that was pretty bad.

I don't understand what was so bad about "Happy Together". I liked it.

Obviously some people are going to like it but I'll bet (even though its an unproveable bet) that after testing it got scrapped. Honestly most people will here that and scream for the original. It's a monotonous hell in my opinion and I've heard that shared by others. I've also heard others say they like it and that's cool too but I have a feeling there were more against it than for it. I could be totally wrong but it would make sense why it was ditched. Plus if this song has bigger hit potential it's an easy scrap.

Are we sure it was "ditched" per se? Cause according to FMQB, it went for adds already.

It's going to be difficult for Filter to garner considerable airplay now regardless of what they release, given they are now on an independent label and their first single on the Pulse (!!!) label only made a brief Top 30 appearance at Active Rock.
Their future is through tour revenue primarily I think.
Sincerely,

A shame. Filter is better than 70% of the songs that make it on Active Rock.

The song is posted now on allaccess. This song is not better than 70% or 85% of the songs that make it on active rock IMO. While "Happy Together" almost made me uncomfortable, it at least had that vintage darker edge you'd expect from Filter. This song, like "Soldiers Of Misfortune" just feels like a fairly typical rock song. Maybe you'll disagree, but it doesn't give me goosebumps the way that "Where Do We Go From Here" does. For the record, "Where Do We Go From Here" was the biggest chart shocker of my life. Following up Title of Record and "Take A Picture," as strong as WDWGFH was, I thought it was a sureshot top 5 at alternative and active.

I preferred Happy Together. I never saw why people were so "uncomfortable" when listening to it. The song made me a fan. This is just trashy generic rock. Not good. Still, I hope they manage to get a hit so they can release something better.
