Downloaded it. It's a good song, I liked it apart from some of the lyrics when I saw its first play in Leeds. I am a little disappointed with the way it's been produced though. I expected it to be a lot more electronic sounding.

Love it. It's stompin and rockin. Made for playing loud. Thank goodness the band were wise enough to release two seperate sounding albums.

As others have wisely commented, this whole publicity, releasing of new material and news has been handled poorly.

I've had time to listen to it 5 times in a row now and seriously I'm still picking out new stuff!
I know I'm excited but this could be in their top 5 singles ever - in fact yep it definitely is!

I'm not really sure that it has. The proof will be with how the album does.. The songs are advertised on their facebook page and their website…its about on twitter.. they've not had blanket advertising all over the shop but then they haven't for a few albums and they still all landed top 5…. I'm sure once they're back from the euro tour they'll do some tv

I agree with thoughts that it would've been better with the guitar sound from the live outings but apart from that it's great, and the best lyric video I've ever seen.

In most cases the first version of a song that I hear is always the preference above any other version, but it's hardly the difference for Empty Souls for example.

If you wanna sell singles it pays to advertise though.

This is not the official single,isn't it? Apart from the album release date I'm completely confused. Will we ever get a single with b-sides and hopefully a physical release or are they going to release songs randomly?
Speaking of the song I still prefer the live version but maybe it's just because that's the one I've been listening in the last month or so. Anyway I like it more than WMTB. That's for sure.

So do you think "Futurology" or "Let's Go To War" will be the next single to download?
I think they'll push the boat and have a different track from the album.

Can we go with the theory that they're going to be releasing a new track from the album every couple of weeks?

Europa would have been a good choice for a single in my opinion.
