What's the deal with these guys. I've read a report that Ben has left the band. Isn't he one of the guitarists? What about they violin guy? He's half the reason I wanted to see this band. I've seen speculation that he's gone as well, and while I haven't listened too closely, I haven't noticed any violin in this song. Is he still in the band or not?
Regardless, this song's alright. I'd place it a little below "Ocean Avenue" and "Only One", and a little above "Way Away".

I think the violinist is still in the group.
At #30 and +122, I'd say this still has a decent chance to make the top 20, which only "Only One" did from the last album.

Yeah, Ben, who plays guitar, is gone. The violin guy is still there. There are traces of him in the new song, which I don't have an opinion on yet, because I haven't heard it very much so far.
"Only One" was their sole Top 20 hit? I didn't believe it, but I looked up "Ocean Avenue" in my records and sure enough, it peaked at #21.

This may end up being my favorite single from them when all is said and done. It currently sits at #18 with no clear competition in site, so it looks it has a good chance of being their biggest nationally as well.

Ehh... not really feeling this one. I still may flip, but I think "Only One" and "Ocean Avenue" are much better.

Wow, #14 and +158 (and going for Pop adds in a few weeks). I'm pleasantly surprised.

Wouldn't it be bitterly ironic if this song peaked at #11?  Yeah, this has become my favorite single from them as well. I just love how aggressive they became instrumentally on this one. The bridge is easily the best part of the song. I was expecting Ryan to just start screaming the way he was building it up vocally. Of course, I think they would've sound kinda like Story of the Year at that point, but that's fine anyway. And just to put to rest the "Where's the violin?" beef, I think the reason why it's harder to hear it on this song is because he's playing an electric violin (which he is in the video). If I understand correctly, those probably sound a lot different from an acoustic violin, and thus blends in with the other electric instruments. |
