Lightning Bolt - 3rd Single?

MYM is the uptempo aggressive punkish reminder that PJ is back. Sirens is the power ballad that has potential to be a hit.

After hearing LB, what makes sense for the next single? As much as I love Pendulum, I don't see it as a single. I'd love to see how Yellow Moon would do but it doesn't seem likely to follow Sirens.

Seems like we're set up for Infallible to be released next.

    Probably.

    "Infallible" or "Lightning Bolt" make the most sense as they are the most accessible tracks on the album. Maybe "Getaway", too.

    I feel like Lightning Bolt (The Song) would be an amazing third single.

    I heard Swallowed Whole on the radio the other day in the Chicago area...I thought it would be an odd choice, but hearing the song randomly and outside of the album increased my appreciation for it.

    Everybody, except the ones that really matter.


    I thought that Lightning Bolt was the 3rd single. I think they could make a better choice if they want another big sales push, but it's a good choice, IMO.

    After watching them perform it live on Fallon, I thought that Lightning Bolt should have been the first single over Mind Your Manners. It just appeals to a wider group of people. I like Mind Your Manners, but I just didn't think it would work as a single.

    I would assume that it will be the third single, and if it isn't, then it would probably be Future Days.

    I would bet that Sleeping By Myself would be their best seller. Not my top pick personally, but it has a lot of crossover appeal without the cheese of Sirens.

    Lightning Bolt would be a great choice, after having the punkish MYM and Sirens ballad.

    Although I'd like to see "Lightning Bolt" as 3rd single...

    I question those singles even being real.

    They made a shirt for MYM and nothing else. What is up with the singles out there? Are they real?

    Thanks
