Based on the "Miracle" thread, this was one of the songs on my short list and Pen's pick for single #3, so this seems like a pretty solid choice though Pen might have been right that this should be 3rd. Granted Nonpoint has never had 3 singles successfully chart from one album, so if they wanted this song to get on the radio, this may have been their last chance to show this side of them. I think this is a topic that active rock radio listeners really identify with, so despite this being a follow-up single, I think it could match the success of "Miracle". I, for one, like it MUCH more than "Miracle".

You and about a few million other Nonpoint fans, including me! :)

I'm cool with this being second as long as it allows "Shadow" a chance to be third.

Doesn't look like this is gonna chart then. "Crazy", "Throwing Stones" or "Shadow" would have been better.

I thought this was a great single choice, so maybe it's more of an issue with radio stations only playing lead singles off Nonpoint albums. "Breathe" off their last album should have been successful too. "Alive And Kicking" was too long ago to set a precedent for the here and now.

talk about a flopper. I'm going with Shadow or Crazy as single #3.

Given "Frontlines" in all likelihood will fail to even chart, they probably won't have a third single off this album. However, if they do, their only chance at charting probably would be their cover of "5 Minutes Alone" because radio stations aren't going to add a third Nonpoint single if they didn't add the second one. Your suggestions are the two best choices, and in retrospect may have been the best choices for single #2 (or even #1). But at this point, their only chance at extending this album's life on radio is to release "5 Minutes Alone" and hope that active rock PDs are intrigued enough by it.

The three songs I mentioned earlier would work fine as singles. They're not going to release another one, though.

It's a shame this didn't even chart, because it should've. There's really no good reason why this didn't chart.
