something new... because if they release anything else now than they're pretty dumb IMO. they need to wait till closer to the album comes out, and release something after their songs have been off of high rotation for a while.

starting with SOT they did really well, then each song has done worse and worse since then because people are tire of hearing the same band over and over. this is why they need to give everyone a break from hearing them on the radio, and maybe towards the end of the year/early next year release something new that can explode.

i don't think wtsoyf would ever make the first single because its way to slow and not like exciting rock music. it's good but its not like a hook-me-into-the-album kindof song. just like are you sad would never have been the first single off sm. so yeah, probably not afraid or something never heard before. like sm, they performed life and everyone's a junkie and neither were released first and something never heard before was.

well let me see, who cares what the first single is, ur gonna buy the cd anyways, if ur listenin to the radio just to hear olp, then ur lookin in the wrong places lol

personally, id rather an entire cd of non-radio friendly songs, because when you try to make radio-friendly songs, they end up blowing ass. so i say, f the radio.

I said "Not Afraid", though my second choice would be "Walking In Circles". That song freaking rocks.

i care what the first single is because you almost always have to make a video on your first single. i watch lots of muchmusic so i care which our lady peace song gets made into a video.

I dunno which I'd like to see. I'm digging Not Afraid, that song was pretty sweet, so I'd probably go with it; that or something not out yet.
"When looking up there, I just felt whole, like I belonged. Like one day I too would shine my most brilliant. Sitting there also made me think about sitting through services at my little country church back home. About that never-changing congregation of the same sixty-seven people and everyone has known you since before you were born. Now, out here in the real world, everything just seemed more vivid than when I used to sit in that little pew. That pew that was now so, so far away from where I was. I feared I had somehow left God behind there, too. I feared he was somehow just sitting there, saving my seat on the fifth pew from the front row, just waiting on me to come back. I left so quickly, I worried that he may not have noticed I was gone. And, now, I’m just too far away to find. So he’s just sitting there, patiently waiting on me to come back. I closed my eyes and prayed a moment. I hoped more than anything that he could still hear me." -an excerpt from my novella, A Sea of Fallen Leaves.

Hell why don't they just release every song on the album at the same time? That way you get a video for every song and everyone's happy :roll:

I would hope for something that actually sounds somewhat rock-ish, and not a continuation of all the goody-goody pop-ish songs they've been releasing since Life. :drool:

Sorry, I love the guys, but, like i said, the goody act is getting old, i miss the old songs like SD, In Repair, Carnival, etc...

bring back the psychos! :cry:

Hmm... Looks like it's probably going to be WTSOYF, since the band loves it so much, and are even giving the album the same name.

I really hope they don't though. With the album having the same name, I really want this one to be a non-single.

Out of the new songs I've heard I like Talk Is Cheap best but think Not Afraid would make the best single.
