While I get this song is good and all, I don't why an Anberlin lead single gets such a free pass up the alternative chart considering the struggles of "Breaking" and "True Faith". Or maybe what I don't understand are the struggles those songs had. It's like alternative radio pigeonholed them as a one hit wonder, and then decided...oh you're a staple artist now. I guess for how well "Feel Good Drag" was holding up, it's like MDs were never gonna give serious consideration to another song of theirs until the next album came out. And if the new song at least sounded halfway decent, it was going to do well no matter what because it's "new Anberlin!" ZOMG

Sigh. This song, sadly, is turning out not to hold up so well to repeated listens.

Another song called "We Owe This To Ourselves" from their new album "Dark is the Way, Light is a Place" has surfaced on the band's PureVolume page at www.purevolume.com/anberlin.

This song pretty much sucks. Their first dud single in several albums. I still have faith that the album will be better though.

After Feel Good Drag and True Faith, I thought they were reaching for new heights as a band. Hopefully they still are.

They definitely are after this glorious lead single.

Top 10 on alternative:
14 10 ANBERLIN Impossible 865 760 105 3.527
And with that, they have solidly dodged one hit wonderdom.

How high did Breaking get? It deserved a better fate.

Radio didn't make Breaking or True Faith hits, so what does it know?

Oh wait I have? They were late to play "Feel Good Drag" and now they won't let go of it. And they're a huge reason why alternative radio stations that basically follow KROQ are stuck on as someone brilliant said "all last year's hits, all the time!"

So does anyone have a guess on where this will peak? I'm curious to hear other people opinions. Seems like top 5 is possible.

Top 2 seems like a given as young as it is.

While I get that this is a holiday weekend with specialty playlists, a +1 bullet with "Little Lion Man" on the verge of passing it fairly deep into its chart run don't bode too well for "Impossible" to be a lock for a top 2 peak. Jimmy Eat World and Black Keys are coming fast too. I still think this will likely go top 5, which should be viewed as a success for Anberlin, but I'd give "Impossible" slightly less than 50-50 odds on peaking at #2 or #1.

I've only heard the album twice. It's been in rotation for me with the new Filter, Goo Goo Dolls, Disturbed, 10 Years, Stone Sour albums, as well as Phoenix's album that I recently decided to check out. I still haven't had the chance to hear the new Weezer or Linkin Park heh. Anyway, back to Anberlin. It's probably the weakest album I've heard from them and it may need to grow on me a bit, but is still quite good. The tracks that I remember standing out to me were "We Owe This To Ourselves," "Take Me (As You Found Me)" and "To The Wolves."

With KOL and Black Keys on Anberlin's tail to likely knock it out of the top 5, I now feel even stronger in my assertion that this likely will not spend any time in the top 2 spots despite being the #1 song on the alternative ratethemusic chart.

I've heard the album twice more since I last posted about it. The album has grown on me a bit, but I still like their previous releases slightly better. I feel that I should add "Closer" as a possible future single.
