I liked it, it's better than "Prodigal Son" which I enjoyed somewhat, and it's way better than "The Past" which I absolutely hated.

I think this might be one of my favorite 7D singles ever.

I don't really find this to be much different from any of their other radio singles in the past 6-7 years.

That's funny because I only find it similar to "Broken Down" and way different from all their other radio singles. Most of their songs very prominently feature some down-tuned highly rhythmic riff (eg "Enemy", "Face To Face", "Ugly", "Failure", "Pieces", "Driven", "Beg To Differ", "Prodigal Son", "Inside"....meaning all their singles from the past 7 years other than "Broken Down" and "The Past". "The Past" is more of a slow ballad. That leaves "Broken Down" and "Unraveling" as the only remaining midtempo radio rockers that aren't predominantly riff-based, but follow a more pop-minded songwriting approach. In fact, I'd say it's less uniquely Sevendust sounding, but fairly rare among Sevendust's other material.

Damn son. They're not messin' around this time. "Unraveling" is also off to a pretty good start on the active rock chart. I don't want to jinx its success by predicting its peak but I'm curious what you think, metalfan87.

Well I'd hope top 20 at the very least. I think "Unraveling" will likely be #21 or 22 by the end of the week. While "Prodigal Son" only reached #17 on active rock, the album before that "Driven" reached #8, so it hasn't even been three years since Sevendust last had a top 10 on this format. I'm hoping that "Unraveling" could be another, but I don't know if I want to predict that kind of success for it.

It sounds about right. My net of possible peaks I'd say is anywhere from #21 as a disappointment and #5 as a miraculous overdue breakthrough single. #12 being right in the middle is probably quite likely very near its actual peak position, but I have hope for better!

Easily their best album cover to date. My only complaint is that the illustration would benefit from incorporating more realism.

^Dude, that's so 2004. This is the upgrade =).
Granted, this is now the second Sevendust record among their last three to resemble another album cover. Though 'Alpha' was much more guilty of it than this. I don't remember what album Alpha looked like, but I do remember it being ridiculously similar. This is at least different enough.

I thought the album cover looked familiar... (Do you know if that album's any good, btw?) 36 Crazyfists' album cover, ftw. That'd make a great tattoo somewhere.

I think A Snow Capped Romance was their best album so far, actually. Not that the two that followed are bad in any way, but they seem to be lacking a little something in comparison.

It's funny that "Unraveling" had 598 spins on Sunday, lost a whole bunch yesterday, and then got them all back today. Next step, outpeak "Prodigal Son" at #17 here and #19 on Billboard. Come on baby!

This song is better than Prodigal Son, so it probably will happen.

it seems there's a battle between Unraveling and Dragonfly for the #20 spot.

20 17 SEVENDUST Unraveling 811 666 145 1.584
No Sevendust single since "Enemy" ever had these numbers. They haven't had this many spins so quick, and a bullet this big so long after the initial release of the single since then either (not that I can remember anyway). It's also currently ranked #5 on Rate The Music's active rock survey. I don't want to get over-confident, but I do think it is safe to say that this song will outperform "Prodigal Son". =) Please keep climbing!
Sevendust having a top 5 single on active rock is on my bucket list. If I die without that happening, my life will not be fulfilled!
I'm pathetic aren't I.
