So, me and some of my constituents have had ongoing fun trying to guess the next single a band will release. We've guessed Incubus singles, Red Hot Chili Peppers singles... and s'more. Me and Pli bet $'s, and if I'm correct, I think we're even.
So, here's how we'll start this thread off:
A Perfect Circle has released their first single "Weak and Powerless". What singles do you think they'll release next? You can guess how many you think they'll release total and what they are. After the 1st "next single" is released you can think and reconsider whether your next should remain. It's not really a game, it's just a test of wits.
I'm going to say that they'll probaly only release 2 more, unless they do 2 more with video and 1 radio only.
My prediction is that they'll release "Pet" next. They're going to need a rocking song next (if they follow the formula - not to say they will, I just think they will) and "Pet" is the perfect rocking song that everyone will latch on to.
After that I think they'll either release "The Noose" or "Blue" because both are easily digestable by the general populus. I think they will (and should) release "Blue" next because "The Noose", though well-liked, repeats too much of what "3 Libras" did to people on the last album, and it's too long as of now. The vocals and grooviness of "Blue" are too good to be ignored, and I think people will accept it easily. Though then they'd be releasing "Blue" and "Weak and Powerless" which, in feeling, are too similar... fuck. Oh well, the sound and mood is a lot different. Anyway, that's my story and I'm stickin' to it.
I honestly could see them releasing "The Outsider" 3rd though. Last time around they started off with the hardest song, then the poppy soft one, then the all-around rock song. So they could do more rock stuff again... who knows.
1. Weak and Powerless
2. Pet
3. Blue
