Choke (The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus)

[(Artie Ziff)]

Heard three times since Friday, but Billboard has nothing about it being out this week. Not sure if this is #3 from the current album or already pushing the next. Not as strong as You Better Pray to me, but good enough to keep hearing.

This is new; it's not from Lonely Road

Thanks, I assumed it is since Pen & Paper was well over a year ago.

[Shadows in the Dark]

It's off a new EP called Hell and High Water.

[(Artie Ziff)]

It seems this band puts out more EPs than actual albums.

Jesus, what happened to this band? They went all downhill with Lonely Road. This song is actually better than most of the stuff in that record, but it's still weak material.

I love Don't You Fake It! Sadly, I don't think they will ever release something half as good as that album.

[Devin]

^ Agreed.

[American Idiot]

Thirded agree. "Don't You Fake It" was freaking awesome. It was catchy and full of pop-punk & screamo which is right up my alley. I liked "Lonely Road" as well in it's own way since it's a lot more mellow, but it can't even compare. Unfortunately, yeah I don't think they will ever make another album that will spark my interest like that again. A lot of bands seem to be doing that now in days. They make an amazing breakout record, and not to quote NFG, but it goes all downhill from there.

Never heard Don't You Fake It outside of the handful of radio tracks. But I do have a copy of Lonely Road and enjoyed it a lot the three or four times I heard it. You Better Pray is their best song I've heard. Choke is better than decent too in my opinion.

Funny. I think YBP is their worst song released.

I don't think they'll ever release another "In Fate's Hands" (which is my favorite by them) though, unfortunately.

I guess they'll never have another legitimate pop hit after their debut single.

Seconded. I remember being shocked when I heard that first on the radio before "Lonely Road" came out and when they announced it as The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, I was shocked.

Very solid indeed. Too bad it didn't score so well.
