    Good Charlotte - Predictable (from The Chronicles Of Life And Death)
    Slipknot - Duality (from Volume 3: The Subliminal Verses)
    Muse - Time Is Running Out and Hysteria (from Absolution)*
    Limp Bizkit - Eat You Alive (from Results May Vary)*

    *Not necessarily bad songs, but bad advertisements for the albums.

    CKY - Flesh Into Gear - Infiltrate.Destroy.Rebuild

    This isn't a bad song at all, it's just that the rest of the album is a fucking masterpiece that makes it a ok song!

    Funny. I liked that video a lot more than I liked the video for The Leaving Song Pt. 2. I also preferred

    Also, it's kind of hard to compare songs from Sing the Sorrow, seeing as many of them are very different in style. (Would you compare Dancing Through Sunday and This Time Imperfect? I wouldn't, they're just that different.) There's no really "accurate advertisement" for that CD. They're all good songs, and each track flows into the next. That's what I think is the great thing about Sing the Sorrow.

    Dream Theater - Train of Thought (As I Am was rockin' but there were way better songs, they should have took the first 5 minutes of Endless Sacrifice, very kickass!)

    The Mars Volta - De-Loused in the Comatorium ("Inertiatic ESP"? To me its the 2nd weakest song on the CD, they should have put "Roulette Dares" or "Eriatarka" as the lead single for that album before Televators)

    Well it's a good video and song, but it was the first AFI video I'd seen, and one of the first songs I knew by them. And the whole concept of the video seemed kinda...weird, and after a while I got tired of the song, until I got the album and saw how it fit into the context of the CD. I agree with you though, it's a hard album to pick singles from because there's no one song that sums up the album or makes the full statement of what it's about, you have to listen through the whole thing to get the picture.

    In the end the video grew on me and I like it a lot now, but I would've rather seen Leaving Song Pt. 2 or Dancing Through Sunday as the first single.
