    Presuming there'll be five singles, I'll be disappointed if the last isn't either In Pieces or TLTGYA.

    That's what I'm hoping for too.

    Given Up was a bad choice.
    It's gonna get zero airplay in Australia, that's for sure.

    If they wanna put out a heavy single, the definately.

    At least that'd get some respect from metal fans (kind of)
    Given Up with just be dubbed as simple guitar and emo lyrics.
    Dumb move LP

    EDIT: Dumb move Warner

    Whenever LP announce a single, you guys are NEVER happy with their choice. "Oh they should have pick this" etc, why? What does saying that actually do? When SoTD was announced, I remember a lot of people say "Oh they should have chose Given Up" well now they have and you're still not happy about it.

    same in the UK - radio one plays every type of music out there really but IMO i cant see 'Given Up' being a splash :mellow: heres radio one playlist, this is what is in rotation almost 24/7: http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/playlist/

    heres my stance on what the singles should have been..

    01. What I've Done - good choice for single number one
    02. Bleed It Out - great single to keep album sales up
    03. Shadow Of The Day - shows what LP can really do
    04. In Pieces - more of an upbeat track (but not as upbeat as Given Up! its guna be played on the radio for heavans sake)
    05. Little Things Give You Away - just 'cos

    thats my two cents but what do i know?

    I agree, it should've been NMS. With the US election ahead of us, a politically charged song like this could have been a hit.

    should've been "no more sorrow". or "in pieces". both, i think, would've worked very well. :)

    Manchester, England. Not Manchester, NH. The video footage has already been recorded.

    The closest thing to screaming I've ever heard on Australia radio was in Aerosmiths' Don't Wanna Miss A Thing.

    Just doesn't happen here.
