even tho i am a fam i think that their time is up, considering the fact that their new album was a huge flop. what does any one else think?

i dont think thats any reason to quit. i think they should now try really hard to redeem themselves with an outstanding album better than all their others. then they can quit.

they didn't want to relase that chimp song as a single. they have no control over whats released.
They just need to return to the way they were rather than trying to become huge international successes again. They had a good following pre-"one week", and that song just blew them up so big that it was hard to sustain. No big deal. go to their live show and say they're no good. I guarentee they'll put on a memorable show. It's great.

I don't have much interest in them either way. But I love that song 'falling for the first time'.

I went to one of their live shows... It wasn't bad, yet it wasn't really memorable.

The new albums is decent but Maroon was clearly a greater album is almost every aspect.

They hosted the Junos here a little while ago. I have to say that they are hilerious. Some of the things that they did off camera or that just didn't get shown were priceless.
You know, I haven't met a single person who either hasn't heard of them or has heard of them but really hates them. They are the kind of band that everyone knows and loves. Even if you don't have their albums.

I am actually going to cry. My dad is the hugest fan of BNL, and they're coming here in march, the DAY i get back from my stupid trip to quebec, but too late. My dads been waiting for years for this, but he wont go alone, and the tickets sold out within minutes anyway. *sigh*
The show is going to be I&I too...
I didn't realize this album was a sales disapointment, considering how huge a single the chimp song is. Their last cd didnt have a single this big... Their second and third cds were bigger misses, and they recovered huge time. Did anyone else see the story of BNL on mmm?
They should never give up.
