Allaccess adds date March 2nd
This could actually find a home in the top 40 of alternative especially with the added guitar work of Tom. It has a bit of the feel of RHCP's "Give It Away".

Wow. It has been a LONG TIME since I've heard anything from them. "Trouble" must have been the last song I remember hearing on the radio from back six years ago, which featured Tim Armstrong. I'm VERY eager to hear this .

I'm sure it'll be even better in HQ but this is the best I could find on youtube....you have to turn it up quite a bit to get the feeling from it.
It's the official song of WWE's next pay per view Elimination Chamber
which apparently is polarizing fans of the WWE for using a rap song. Actually the funnier part is that on most of the postings they have the wrong song from the album and they are all blasting that song.

Cypress Hill singles are usually good for me. I'm looking forward to this.

Heard this on the radio today and it wasn't even quite up to my subpar expectation.
What did I say on Facebook the other day about hearing "Stoned Is the Way of the Walk" spun by a co-worker at the bar a couple weekends ago? Let me go find that, so I don't have to rephrase something I said about CH just recently.
"I'm gonna have to pull out that first CH album now. That album is so classic and pure. Black Sunday still measures up too, but from the third album on, they've had the occasional good single, but their music is mostly a watered-down, comfortable caricature of those first two records. The danger, menace, and hunger is long gone."

This song is so fucking bad. How in the world is it doing that well? I know Tom Morello is a big deal, but seriously - do the radio programmers hear what they're playing? And this has to be the worst song I've heard either attached to CH or Morello. I had high expectations, but this wouldn't have even met low expectations.

This has to be the worst song I've heard attached to Morello. Didn't he play guitar on the Crystal Method's "Name of the Game"? That was certainly a throwaway, crap song. |

Oh I didn't know he was on that song. I agree that it's far from Crystal Method's best but I wouldn't say it's a TERRIBLE song, though I certainly change the station every time it came on. That said, they made a remix of the song for the movie Tropic Thunder which is actually really cool. They made it sound really epic, which is hard considering the original material of the song was not exactly intense.
I think this CH song is worse than any version of "Name Of The Game" though.

I mean "Name of the Game" isn't an F song or anything, but it's definitely in the C-range. Definitely underwhelming coming off the 4 singles from Vegas. "Murder" completely redeemed them and is one of their best singles. "Born Too Slow" was pretty cool and "Drown in the Now" was great. Don't remember any other singles of theirs of the top of my head. |

The only other song I know by them is "Busy Child" which I only found out was by The Crystal Method a couple of years ago. Based solely on "Name Of The Game", The Crystal Method wasn't a band I was going to go out of my way to hear more of, but "Busy Child" (along with Blur - "Song 2") was my favorite song on the FIFA 98 playstation game, and when I realized that it was a Crystal Method song, my opinion of and interest in them went considerably up. I agree that "Name Of The Game" is a C-range song, but I'd give "Busy Child" some type of A.
The new Cypress Hill song for me is either D or F-range. I don't know if I want to hear it again to more accurately decide which to give it.

How the hell is this song doing so well on both formats? I thought Tom Morello already failed to get this sound anywhere with Street Sweeper Social Club.

Latina Armada is the good single off the album. Alas, it is not a rock song.

Huh? That don't make sense really. Both Street Sweeper Social Club and (more to the point) Rage Against the Machine did better on Alternative + this is Cypress Hill, a rap group, who have never charted on Active prior to this.

Audioslave did better on active and new Rage Against The Machine would do better on active than alternative in all likelihood if it came out today. This riff especially has a very "rock 'n' roll" feel to it. The alternative chart is also more competitive than the active rock chart right now in the 15-25 region of the chart. Finally, it can be easier for a song to become an unexpected hit on active as there is more uniformity in the panel so if a handful of stations pick it up, chances are a lot more of them will.

Well Anberlin comes out of a punk/emo/screamo/post-hardcore affiliation that would never do well on active. Same thing with Phoenix and their very indie sound. Kings Of Leon has pop sensibilities that lend them more to alternative than active rock. "Rise Up" has that sorta "badass" (really sucky in this case) riff that active rock eats up.
