It sort of reminds me of what Blink 182 covering The Offspring's 'Why Don't You Get A Job' would sound like.
It's not too bad, not no 'Don't Stop'. |

I don't fully understand the 'Don't Stop' love in here, remains their weakest single IMO, despite being a good song though.
 1. Amnesia 2. Good Girls 3. She Looks So Perfect - 4. She's Kinda Hot (will probably shoot past 'She Looks So Perfect' soon enough) - 5. Don't Stop |

I like this, it's gonna require being more of a grower than all of the uptempos they've done before because of the reason Calum gave, it takes a while to get going, so as a WHOLE, the song isn't fantastic. However, the last part of the song is... it's gonna take some getting used to but it's very addictive and I already can't stop going back to it.
Reminds me a lot of a slightly tamer 'Teenagers' by My Chemical Romance. |

In the agreement that Don't Stop is easily their best. She Looks So Perfect is also great despite hating it at first
 A bit undecided on this atm, can see that Teenagers comparison though. Could be another grower... |

I didn't mind SLSP and Don't Stop but this is quite boring for me. Definitely doesn't sound like a number one so hope it stays clear of the top 5.

I'll also echo the Don't Stop love, it's my favourite of theirs too.
The new single is good! It reminded me of commercial pop punk(?) songs from the late 90s/early 00s. |

She Looks So Perfect is by far their best track. The rest are pretty awful, dont get the Dont Stop love, I really cant abide it.

This is quite amazing guys, I don't normally say this about their kind of act but I'm kind of in love with this. Even more than I was with She Looks So Perfect. Definitely maturing into a nice band, that guitar is really good - not too close to Teenagers but close enough that I can see the comparison.

I had no expectations for this really, the only single of theirs I really loved was She Looks So Perfect (Amnesia and Don't Stop were ok but I didn't care for Good Girls at all), but this is SO good. So catchy and although I felt disappointed with the first half or so at first I agree in the long run it's good because the way it builds make it an explosive song when it does come alive. I'm so impressed with this <3

Just got around to finally listening to this... it's amazing. Agreed completely with the MCR circa 2005-2006 era (not a bad thing in my book!)

The only problem with this being a throwback to the MCR sound of '05/'06 is that it wasn't exactly hugely popular the first time around.
And considering it's only top 10 on iTunes in Bahrain & the Philippines, it's not that popular this time either. I just don't think it's the kind of progression the fans wanted for them, let alone the casual listener. |

Well it's an OA/OS release, it's fallen considerably everywhere since the release because the fans have bought it already
 It will pick up in many places again when airplay kicks in and the video's released. It's ridiculously early to say it's not popular this time, or it's not what the fans want or whatever.

Most releases are OA/OS these days without initial airplay or a video & they have stuck around much longer.
It's not ridiculously early.. past the fans who is going to buy it? I may be wrong but I can't see this being a big hit anywhere. This post has been edited by Scherz: 23rd July 2015, 12:20 AM |

MCR were big at the time, and their sound especially from those years are the sorts of songs that get more well regarded with age (I'm sure there was hate at the time given its association with the emo phase, but now that's gone things like Teenagers and Black Parade in general are looked back on fondly) so saying it's not popular seems very disingenuous. Perhaps what I wouldn't say is that I'd expect it to be popular with their current fanbase but if we assume they'd buy anything from them then that's a good calculated route.
No one is doing this type of music very successfully now, and it could well get picked up wider than just pop stations once airplay kicks in. It may go completely the other way, but this does seem like a natural progression into becoming a more mature band and I'm pleased they've done it, no matter what success they get. Not every artist should be Avril Lavigne. |

Not every artist should be Avril Lavigne. Don't get me wrong, I loved MCR. And I didn't say they weren't popular, of course they were.. they had 'Welcome To The Black Parade', but look at the numbers and you'll see they weren't huge. I understand why they're starting to transition to this 'maturer' sound because they were probably very influenced as youngsters by MCR/Blink etc.. And I know you're not supposed to chase trends but it seems strange to emulate a sound that didn't do much initially. It's why MCR faded out in the first place. As a rock/pop band who earned their success chasing the 16-24 demo (maybe even younger), you'd think it would be a little more commercial is all I'm saying.

What's the point in chasing hit after hit with pop-rock if it's just not the direction they want to go in as a band though? Despite the more pop-oriented songs, when they perform live you can tell they're slightly more to the rock side. I don't think they'll be losing any fans by putting 'She's Kinda Hot' out there.
