I don't know what's funnier, that "Storm To Pass" is on there or that people voted for it. Apparently some people must want a rerelease. I voted for "Bleeding Is A Luxury", which seems to be the clear favorite.

Ugh! Why is "Gallows" in second? That one's forgettable and is my second to least favorite (including both bonus tracks). Oh well, at least my pick, "You Were the King," is in third.

You Were the King is my favorite. Then possibly Bleeding Is a Luxury and then Stop!
The title track is one of my favorites as well.

I gotta say though. I hate when they leave it up to people to decide the single. Are they actually going to base their choice on this poll?

I'm surprised the label's letting them do this.

I would say You Were The King is the best choice followed by Bleeding Is A Luxury. I think Bleeding would fare better, but I personally prefer You Were The King.

I kind of view "Bleeding Is a Luxury" as a "safe" choice. And seeing how "Storm to Pass" was also pretty safe and that it didn't even dent the Top 40 on Alternative, I'm nervous that "Luxury" would underperform as well.
On the other hand, "You Were the King..." has one of the best choruses they've ever written. All you'd need to do is just shave off the long (pretty unnecessary) intro. That being said, the chorus aside, it's a considerably harder and meaner track which moderate Alternative stations would be less willing to touch, especially after "Storm to Pass" pretty much tanked.
So they may be screwed, because I'm not sure what a better third option would be, considering anything that falls too short of the unconventional fluke hit "Falling Down" will spell further commercial downswing.

Definitely "gallows" and then "wait for you"

I voted for "Stop! Before it's too Late and We've Destroyed it all", just cause I really like it. Probably won't be the next single though.  |
