Which tracks do you think should be released off of Minutes to Midnight? Name 4 after "What I've Done" and "Bleed It Out". (Since Meteora had 6 singles) My Singles: No More Sorrow In Pieces Given Up Leave Out All The Rest
hmm...well the singles have already been "chosen"... apparently anyway. But i would LIKE to have: Shadow Of The Day Hands Held High The Little Things... And Either In Pieces or No More Sorrow. Can't chose because In Pieces is such a great song, but No More Sorrow resembles their old sound much more even though it's a great song and it represents an important issue. Still, In Pieces is like the new Faint to me... except it's not half as heavy.. (I still love Faint though)
These are the ones that I want them to have. Disclaimer: This is full of biasness. Leave Out All The Rest Shadow of The Day Hands Held High (just randomly choose it because well, Valentines Day wouldn't be a very strong single and I like ballad songs) In Pieces Also, although Meteora had 6 singles one was a radio single (Lying From You) and the other wasn't released internationally or in the USA (From The Inside) forgot which one it was.
Leave Out All the Rest has to be a single no doubt. As for other ones: Given Up Shadow of the Day No More Sorrow I think those should be singles.
6 Singles would be overkill. My picks after Bleed It Out are: Shadow of The Day Leave Out All The Rest and if a 5th single comes...The Little Things Give You Away. People may think Given Up would appeal because of its angst but I believe the excessive screaming could prevent it from being played on mainstream pop stations. Therefore it probably would not make too great of a single.
That really wouldn't be a good choice for a single. It's so long too, some of it is bound to be cut out. I mean, it's a song that really should be kept for the album so that people who listen to the other singles find it as a pleasant surprise. If you put out what probably is the best song on the record like that, then there's really no point in putting out singles. Singles are meant to entice, not to give away a record. I agree, but I hope you realize that it could grab a potentially greater crowd. It's angst can appeal to many metal fans (although if they buy the album, they'll probably be disappointed ). That sort of attention could be good for the record, as well as the Projekt: Revolution Tour. I suppose I shall make a revision to the ones I picked, though, because Given Up does seem iffy. After Bleed It Out: Leave Out All the Rest No More Sorrow Shadow of the Day
3rd single: Given Up for sure. I guess it will be another modern/mainstream rock hit. 4th single: No More Sorrow/Leave Out All the rest.
After Bleed It Out: 3. Given Up 4. Leave Out All The Rest 5. In Pieces And if they can have a 6th single, it has to be either Shadow of the Day or Little Things Give You Away.
I can't see 5 single from this album...these are my picks Bleed It Out Leave Out All The Rest Given Up And if a fifth than No More Sorrow on radio possibly
Didn't Mike say that they wanted Given Up to be after WID but BIO had more requests so they did that first. In that case, the order would be: WID BIO GU And my 2 additions would be: LOATR SOTD
After the two determined singles: Shadow of the Day Leave Out All the Rest No More Sorrow Hands Held High unsure: I had to pick four, right?)
I just want The Little Things Give You Away. Forget what would sell out the most...ie Leaving out the Rest or Valentines Day. In Peices is a awesome song, but I don't see it as radio friendly at all. Given Up would do ok as a single.
