The follow-up single heads to radio next month from Billboard. Haven't heard this, but the band reminds me of an American Arctic Monkeys in a couple of ways.

I could see that comparison from just hearing "Animal."

I like this song way more than "Animal". That one burned out on me in about five listens. That's not even an exaggeration. I heard it the first time and liked it, then very quickly I was done with it. This one should have more longevity and with the current state of alt radio being more friendly to this stuff this may do better than Animals, if they ever push it for adds. Video is done though....kind of hurts the brain to watch
Oh, and they desperately need some haircuts....and chick drummers are hot. :)

Not only is she hot, but her drumming was excellent when I saw them open for 30 Seconds to Mars last month!

I'd have preferred Sins of My Youth, but this is a solid choice as well.

This was one of my favorites from the album, glad it's getting a release.

So by going ahead by 82 years, maybe this'll be 82 times bigger than "1901".

I honestly love ALL songs from their album, and I really can't believe on the ''Animal'' success on iTunes and pop radio.
IMO ''Our War'' would be a great choice to follow-up this single, or ''Sins of My Youth'' N ''Love and Affection''.

So by going ahead by 82 years, maybe this'll be 82 times bigger than "1901". Shouldn't it be 1983⁄ 1901 times as big?

Shouldn't it be 1983⁄ 1901 times as big? This I may be able to live with since I like it at least 1983⁄ 1901 as many times as that 1901/Savior/Uprising bloc. Even though I'm still truly annoyed by their horrible live performance (OK, I'll give you all that the drummer was good) I'm not going to hold that against them, yet anyway, as this is my favorite song off the album and I get a song with my birth year.

This sounds way too similar to "Animal." I'm not sure if "1983" will do really well after the success of "Animal" or flop because of it having such similarities.

Great, just what we need--another song title that looks like a spin total.

You may be focusing on the wrong aspect of the song!

Wow, I'm never gonna get the interest in this band or understand what makes them an alternative act rather than a hipster powerpop act, but that's ok. I hate this song as much as I hate "Animal". Oh well. I must be wrong or something.

I remember that the first few times I heard "Animal", it made a good impression, but didn't stick with me. On the other hand, this one stuck with me instantly, but not in a good way. This does sound a lot like "Animal", but I find it to be cheesier and not as well-written or catchy. That said, it will probably be another big hit for them.

Pretty sure this is (eventually) gonna do better on CHR than Alternative, just cause it sounds so pop IMO

This song does well, yet "Stand Tall" is doing miserably.

Any word on when this will go for pop as Animal went top 10 there?

I hate Neon Trees, mainly for their lead singer's voice, which I consider insanely annoying. I hope they become an one album wonder band.
