I kind of knew this would be a single and it's a fair rendition but I was hoping for one of the other tracks like "Shadows" or "Confession".

Mainstream wise, it should have been Death of Me, Shadows, then pushing Never Be the Same to pop and then perhaps Ordinary World.
Forever ruined that big time. Not saying that's a bad song, but it was a bad single choice.

Ah another poor single selection. "Mystery of You" and then "Shadows" should have been released post-"Death of Me". Or "Never Be the Same" if they wanted to go for the anthemic ballad option. Looks like this will be the last song from this album to hit radio as I don't see this reaching any higher than #15 on Active.

Hopefully, this can get them some success. It's a good cover but I think there are better songs on "Innocense & Instinct". In particular, I like "Start Again" and "Out From Under".
I think the label waited too long to release a follow-up to "Death Of Me". Forever is great but they didn't need to release a bonus track. I'm confused as to how 7 singles have been released. I know Never Be The Same and Fight Inside came beforehand. I just don't know how Mystery Of You and Start Again were released as singles. I guess these must have been sent to Christian Rock and the like.

1. Fight Inside (Christian Rock/Digital Single) 2. Never Be the Same (Digital Single) 3. Death of Me (Active/Alternative/Mainstream Rock) 4. Mystery of You (Christian Rock/Pop) 5. Forever (Active/Alternative/Mainstream Rock) 6. Start Again (Christian Pop) 7. Ordinary World (Active/Alternative/Mainstream Rock)
"Forever" is my favorite track from the album, but I was hoping it would be released 3rd if at all. It may be the best song, but it's far from the best single option. The most obvious single is "Shadows" (which should've been 2nd), followed by "Confession" (3rd). I like this song, but there's no reason it should be released when "Shadows" still hasn't been sent out.

almost all of the songs from their album are very good so it's ok for me! really didn't expect to release this one...but i believe it's one of the finest songs of this album

if Seether's cover of Careless Whisper can do well on the Active chart, so can this song.

Right after this song runs its course, Cavo should release their cover of "Come Undone."

Heard this on the radio last night. Unfortunately, as expected, a post-grunge cover of this song just doesn't work. As the verses went along, everything was tolerable, if unnecessary. The singer reminded me of the dude from Default. Then the distorted, heavy guitars, reminiscent of Seether, kicked in at the chorus and just killed the song.
More bearable than Cavo's rendition of "Come Undone," though.

I love this cover. Don't think it will make much of an impact with the previous few singles not doing much but we'll see. I agree though that almost every song on the album is single worthy.

This is starting to lose spins already :( It'll forever remain a mystery as to why they chose this and left certain other songs in the shadows.

couldn't they still release Shadows as a single after this anyway?

Seven singles? We're talking about Rock radio releases here. In which they've released three. To answer Enigma's question. No, I doubt another one will be sent out after this looks like it will flop hard.

Unofficially yes. The point is, you said "seven is enough" when only three have been sent to Rock.

Post by metalfan87 on Mar 10, 2010 15:50:45 GMT -5
here's the list of the seven singles (in chronological order):
1. Fight Inside 2. Never Be The Same 3. Death of Me (rock single) 4. Mystery of You 5. Forever (rock single) 6. Start Again 7. Ordinary World (rock single)
out of the other non-rock singles, they should release 2 of them as rock singles

^I don't understand your logic at all. They should release another rock single, but it has to be one of the songs they already released to christian rock? Why does it have to be a song they already released somewhere else? The whole problem with this era is that they've been out-thinking themselves by releasing bonus tracks and covers, and this rule you would have them implement just weakens them further. Just pick the song that you think has the best chance to be a big hit. It's not that hard. If you think "Shadows" is that song, then it should be the single. If you think it's "Never Be The Same", then same thing. And so on...

Is this their first rock-released single to miss the Mainstream Rock chart?

I think so. Unless they had a 4th rock single off End Of Silence that I never knew about.

I'm tellin ya. I think they coulda done things with Shadows. This could've been a good single to end the era possibly.
Oh well. Bring on the new album! xD
