50 seconds isn't that brutal. Pretty typical for 30-60 seconds to be cut out on a radio edt

I'm wondering which part is cut. The whole song is awesome, I can't imagine anything being cut without feeling like a loss.

i'm not sure if this would be single #3. Stapp said in an interview that Away in Silence would be the third single. But we'll see.

Id prefer A Thousand Faces 3rd, Away In Silence 4th. Both should be singles though

I agree with that too, its just sad considering if they never broke up and this was released back in like 04 or 05 how much bigger it would have been. The music is very strong

The music is very strong On the contrary, if they hadn't broke up, this album wouldn't have been made. A different one would have. All things in their right place.

possibly, but you never know which direction they would have taken. Well they probably would have became a Hot AC band but you never know, they may have went with this as well, or something very similar.

Alas, we'll never know. However, I think that had they stayed together, they would've become a HAC-centric band.

"Bullets" didn't fare well for them during the "Weathered" era, but neither did "Don't Stop Dancing". Sincerely, Lisping Hibiscus

So I'm guessing they gave up on "Rain" for Rock?

I've been trying to avoid the Creed revival, but I've got to admit this is a fine song.

I can't really tell a huge difference between songs yet on the album since I've only listened to it four times, but I think does have the potential to be a good choice.

i just looked at the monitored adds and A Thousand Faces got 4, so it confirms it'll be single #3.

This song got so much praise that, by the time I actually heard it, it was quite underwhelming. I'd much rather they release "Full Circle" or the iTunes bonus track "Silent Teacher."

I like this one quite a bit. I'm not happy that there'll be a radio edit but I guess that's how it goes. I remember the edit that was done on Sevendust's "Inside". The whole intro was cut out on it and I found that to be very fundamental to that song's build up.
I thought Rain was the weakest song on the album. I mean they really did a great job at coming back with an excellent rock album and then they go for Rain so they can try to get some success at pop/hot ac. I think they should've just stuck to rock before Stapp loses more credibility.
I also like "On My Sleeve" but that's probably because it's shown up on my iPod more than any other song (other than Overcome).

I dont understand how Rain loses them credibility. No one expected that to touch CHR and it cracked the top 40, and it also got top 30 on HAC. Remember that Creed has more than just a rock audience. It's good that they tried to reach out to them with that track, and remember "A Thousand Faces" is a rock single so they came right back.

Well "Inside" didn't even reach the top 40 on active anyway, so it's not like the radio edit without the intro reached a lot of people's ears anyway.

It's good that they tried to reach out to them with that track, and remember "A Thousand Faces" is a rock single so they came right back. I guess I'm just worried that Overcome didn't do well enough. It got to #4 on active based on wiki, while I think it really could've done alot better. I also think it could've done more on alternative. However, Overcome did do better on alternative than both of Alter Bridge's lead singles. Yet, it also did worse on active than both of those singles. My local active station played Overcome quite a bit but I was stunned when I saw on mediabase that the song went from 26 spins to 0 in a week. I'm happy Rain was able to make a dent at Top 40 and Hot AC. I'm just concerned that alot of active stations might listen to Rain and decide to not even consider adding A Thousand Faces. I know most won't do that but some may.

True, it really wouldn't have mattered either way. In fact, I actually support the decision to edit Inside since that was likely the best chance the song would have to be successful. I was just annoyed when I heard the edit on my local station since the full version is one of my favorite Sevendust songs.

They milk that intro for everything it's worth to start the set. :)

Wow...this is three straight Creed singles that I would rate moderately-favorably:
Overcome A Rain B- A Thousand Faces A-

Rain is actually still climbing in the Adult Top 40.
