I agree.

I think that it's LP's style to have a "low powered" song as the first single. Burn it Down, The Catalyst, What I've Done and Somewhere I Belong all are sort of low and mellow compared to the second singles which have more "pump" in them. Again LITE, Waiting for the End, Bleed it out and Faint; all have that "awesome pump" which make a person go "whoa".

I think the band knows the same too. However in the Meeting of ATOS, Mike wanted to have a song that talked about the album, rather than having a "radio-centric" one. I think Burn it Down, The Catalyst, What I've Done and Somewhere I Belong do that job really well.

EDIT: I do agree with Star Screem's opinion on having COG as the first single.

If you think about it: Third singles are more like ballads. Look at Shadow of the Day, Iridescent (if you don't cound BITS) and Castle of Glass.
