Raine radio interview and full Paper Moon audio

Yes, I'm falling more and more in love with it every listen... can't wait to hear it live so that they'll hopefully repeat the chorus at the end over and over... it's not done justice in the studio

Like buying it a week earlier? Also, anyone think that this song was originally Burn Burn? What the hell happend to that song? Weren't they so happy to have it as their first single. Now it's just an album title?

Yeah it would make sense that this could have been Burn Burn... with the candles reference and the "burn your clothes" line... yeah I really really wish this would have been the premiere single. Would have been a great public comeback for OLP. I know it would have been better received all-around, even in the mainstream, than AYD.

I would challenge who ever it was that said this song was boring to crank up the volume...and see if you dont end up rocking out (especially during the solo).

Yeah, if you put on a set of good headphones and crank it, this is awesome. The much-better quality CD will be even better.

You’ll find traffic jams and big TVs’
and hipsters trapped in their own irony

That's where I rock out!!!1

My weariness when it comes to the prospect of new material hasn't exactly been something that I've attempted to hide.

However, I'll happily give credit where credit is due. This shit rules. :nod:

The version in this interview is lower quality than anything on .net. It's a mono, 96kbps mp3 file. I'd like to hear the stereo version.

Yeah, maybe they allowed her to play this because they're releasing it as the next single next week or something. Nice quality would be amazing.

How often are singles usually released? I mean, it's only been 3 weeks since the first one.

This day and age, that's usually what it takes. Eminem and Black Eyed Peas have 2 singles out right now and I'm sure they came out one after the other. Some bands are weird like that. Green Day, too.

I'd venture to guess that another single will be released in June, and the third will be released a month or two after July 21.

Oh, and Trustworthy, if there's anything you can do about it please let there be a presale of the album through .NET!! (the Deluxe Album)

I wouldn't expect a new single until just before Burn Burn. Then another one in September or October-ish.

I never heard AYD on the radio or see it on Much...

I like this song. I mean, I'm not hopping with excitement or anything, but maybe that's because listening to the song has a similar effect that Are You Sad? has on me -- it chills me right out.

It does seem to end abruptly...

I dig it.

The lyrics are great.

I don't expect a new single until the album is out.

blueseeka · Post by **blueseeka** » 6/13/2009, 5:44 am

I would be shocked if there was a new single till about a month after the release of the album. OLP has always taken their time with their singles. Unless AYD gets absolutely no radio play, then I dont expect a 2nd single till early August

LifeRiot · Post by **LifeRiot** » 6/13/2009, 9:46 am

Sadly, I can see maybe one more single, and this album selling over platinum barely in Canada, and possibly not even charting its first week in the USA.

Some of my friends didn't even know OLP was still a group any more.

Thats because they are picking the wrong songs for singles! You have these poppy songs which are being stuck in the middle of the station spectrum, it isn't something your going to be saturating on a Dance/Pop/R&B station and its too poppy to be played on Harder rock oriented stations.

I think if they release Monkey brains as a single these harder rock stations are going to eat it up, and you will definately see a shift in the bands popularity. I was talking to a few of my friends the other day who used to be huge olp fans, they hated the last 2 cds like myself, and as soon as they heard AYD, they were completely turned off from the cd. This has happened to a lot of people, if you want to bring them back in you need something thats going to get them excited for the band again.

Illusion · Post by **Illusion** » 6/13/2009, 11:20 am

I agree. I think OLP writes these "poppy" singles just because Innocent and SOT were successful and, therefore, they believe any "poppy" song that they come up with will be successful. The truth is that Gravity was riding off of the success of four "amazing" records and had a huge promotional back bone (I mean, even a crap pop song like "A Beautiful Day" will do well when it's by a popular band like U2). Anyways, both of those factors are gone now and OLP needs to go back to what made them popular in the first place, and that's singles like Naveed and Superman's Dead.

In my opinion, generic music only sells when your fans are so in love with you that they can't see straight.
