Like Beautiful Day and ATYCLB, do you think Vertigo has bomb's DNA, and consequensiatly do u still feel it was a first good single. Im having trouble placing it with the rest of the tracks.

What do u think?

cheers!
 
If a good first single has to be totally representative of the album which it's off of (and I don't think it does at all), then I guess "Vertigo" wasn't really the way to go.

I think that a good first single should be catchy ("Vertigo" is), exciting (it is), well-performed and written (again, it is), and attention-grabbing (yet again...it is); based on my criteria, "Vertigo" is a KILLER first single. I will admit, though, that it is not in ANY way indicative of whatever it is that this album, as a whole, is supposed to be about. I think that the album is perhaps a bit too muddled and uncohesive for ANY song to be truly representative...

I think it is more like Discotheque, Numb and The Fly which were nothing but false lead to give us a wrong idea of what to expect.

I thought Discotheque & Fly were very representative.. for this album I think ABOY or COBL or SYCMIOYO would have been better first singles
