firstly i don't think there is anything wrong with the song structure of OYE but each to their own. it is too bad how some have received the song (apparently a station played it and got a very negative response) but what can you do but put yourself out there? this song is a bit of a grower i think and i look forward to his album in earnest.

That's exactly what Mark said. He wanted the Creed fans to grow into the new sound of Alter Bridge so they picked "Open Your Eyes." He also strongly pointed out that this single is but one song off the album and by no way represents the sound for the other ten songs.

I agree it's one of those songs that grows on you.

i'm talking about "relearn love' i'm told a station pulled the song halfway through and put on something else.....ouch.

That's ashame I love the song. AOL listeners seem to like it. I guess it's a matter of taste.

Myles might have a good range, but his voice is so whiney its uncomfortable to listen to the same song over and over again. Stapp song may have a popish sound - but it is simple and has a beat and rythem. I believe those two things are crucial and important, but thats me.

Judging from your Bush 2004 stuff, we probably don't agree on a lot but I have to say that I agree that AB picked the worst song to be the first single. There are much better songs on the album. I also agree with your comment about Myles' voice being whiney, sometimes I just can't listen to it.

Personally I think the One Day Remains is the best song on that album and that AB should really think about making that song into a video or single release...I am still wondering why Creed didnt make a video for the song Weathered but made a video for Dont Stop Dancing instead! Weathered is a much better song and would have made a much better video!
