Re: Sum41/SBM Discussion!
Yeah, it's nowhere near radio friendly. No catchy chorus, and the outro is too long for radio use.samueeL wrote:Reason to Believe is radio friendly? Hardly.
Jessica Kill is quite radio friendly, but it would be too hard for Deryck's voice to be played on daily basis, so there's no use to choose a song they wouldn't play live that often. Look what happened to No Reason.
Baby is very catchy, very radio friendly, so a perfect choice for being a single. It might not represent the rest of the album, but that's the point. The goal is to catch new fans with different tastes of music. Eventually the lovers of With Me and Pieces fell in love with All To Blame and Still Waiting.

Re: Sum41/SBM Discussion!
Dude, that's NOT my point here. My only case is that it obviously doesn't compare to SOME songs. Last record they shoulda made Ma Poubelle a single? It's a "fun" song.Gregorovich wrote:Listen, it's a fun song. Though it's not one of my favourites on the record, I still really like it.

Re: Sum41/SBM Discussion!
Deryck obviously likes this sort of Oasis/Jet kinda sound so I'd say he wanted it to be a single. They wouldn't of even put those two songs on the album if they didn't like that style a lot.

Re: Sum41/SBM Discussion!
But wouldn't you want your BEST work to be noticed? Now, i realize Blood In My Eyes is still gonna be a single and stuff. But from a fans perspective (which we all are) This possibly knocks out a better song from getting a video, and being on the radio and such.Tyler. wrote:Deryck obviously likes this sort of Oasis/Jet kinda sound so I'd say he wanted it to be a single.

I dunno.. It doesn't matter to me. But it might help record sells if the better songs are being played on the radio..

Re: Sum41/SBM Discussion!
Well they probably think it's some of their best work. I don't see why any of the other songs should be put ahead of it. I'm already sick of BIME and I can't listen to it any more, and none of the others stand out as some real fun interesting songs. The only song I can think of that would be a better single is Crash. I also think if you're wanting the record to sell better, the two Oasis-like songs are better for the mass appeal.Jake-41 wrote:But wouldn't you want your BEST work to be noticed?

Re: Sum41/SBM Discussion!
You kiddin' me? If I'm listenin' to radio and i hear BIME come on. I'd totally be like.. "Who the hell is this? It's awesome."
I think Crash will be the last single.. And it'll get a crowd. And they're already playing BIME live? So i personally, think that should have been the obvious single here.

Re: Sum41/SBM Discussion!
Yeah but the majority of people listening to the radio don't like that kind of music dude. If Baby You Don't Wanna Know comes on people are gonna go "that was pretty rocking...Sum 41? Seriously? I gotta check this out". Really dark and heavier songs don't go well on the radio.Jake-41 wrote:You kiddin' me? If I'm listenin' to radio and i hear BIME come on. I'd totally be like..

Remember these songs don't just get played on alternative radio stations etc, if they have Baby You Don't Wanna Know as a single it'll get played on any channel and won't seem too out of place.

Re: Sum41/SBM Discussion!
I don't see why people think Crash would be a single. I see it just like Best Of Me. Nice slow song, but it will never be played live. Maybe in an acoustic session, but I very much doubt it. It's too slow and calm for radio use imo.
My contenders for the third single are Blood In My Eyes and What Am I To Say. Both very radio friendly.

Re: Sum41/SBM Discussion!
Yeah maybe What Am I To Say.
Also with Baby You Don't Wanna Know, it's very easy listening because it's a more classic sound, wouldn't seem out of place around older rock songs. Also the "ooo ooo"'s will be catchy to first time listeners, people that don't know Sum 41 will be singing along to those bits during their first listen. First listeners to BIME would be like WTF is going to happen next in this song, and not be able to remember anything that just happened when it's finished.

Re: Sum41/SBM Discussion!
This could be true, to be honest. When I heard BIME instrumental at the soundcheck, I totally forgot it how it went right after they finished it.Tyler. wrote:First listeners to BIME would be like WTF is going to happen next in this song, and not be able to remember anything that just happened when it's finished.

Re: Sum41/SBM Discussion!
That metal riff was stuck in my head for days after I first heard it. It's easily the catchiest part of the album. Guess that's just me though :PTomiT14 wrote:This could be true, to be honest.

Re: Sum41/SBM Discussion!
my friends reacted very positively when I played them BIME, whereas most of them had mixed feelings about SBM and Skumfuk
that being said, I heard WAITS on radio today as the first Sum41 song in years lol

Re: Sum41/SBM Discussion!
I think out of the "heavier" songs on SBM it is probably the best for radio, maybe because it has a Linkin Park vibe.. I dunnoMike wrote:i could picture hearing Back Where I Belong on the radio
