Since PJ are actually promoting this one, the singles are pretty important and could help the band a great deal. WWS is the peferfect first single what would you chose for the second and possibly third? It's really hard for me to decide, so many hooks and different elements.

I'd like to hear Marker in the Sand or Severed Hand followed by Come Back.

i agree, marker would make a good single

comatose would be a great way to get the meat ball butt rock crowd into this album

I'd appreciate Marker in the Sand. Think it's gonna be Parachutes though.

Any song from the first half.

Then, any song from the second half.

I'd say Life Wasted is a strong candidate for the second single. Not sure really what could be the third, though. Severed Hand could be good, but I think it's a little too inaccessible for the mainstream crowd. Too much going on. Comatose would be a great third, but it wouldn't properly illustrate the depth of the album.

Given that the second single from a band is typically mellower and more contemplative, I'd say Gone is the second single, followed by Life Wasted as the third. Just a guess.

Single #1 was World Wide Suicide
Single #2 = Severed Hand (to establish rockin' anthem ability)
Single #3 = Marker in the Sand (having established rockems, one can be melodic)
Single #3 = Come Back (with enough strength already placed in singles, this one will get enough play to get hooked in people's minds)



This would be an equation for success.

'Gone' would make a great second single. Soaring chorus, easily digestible, and wide appeal.

Since material....hmmm.

Comatose (Mastered with kickass guitars of course to continue the rockin WWS momentum)

Severed Hand (Rockin from beginning to end)

Parachutes (Some SERIOUS cross-over appeal)

I think Come Back could work very well with as a single. With a nice video that is also interesting to watch for non-rabid fans, it could be a big hit.

How could it not be Gone? Song written a night before the two shows at the Borgata, played at night #2, Christmas, plus demo version, then makes it on the album because the band backs it to get it there. Single #2.
