I guess I've always thought that FW had extremely weak "singles"... I've been a fan of this band from almost the very beginning, and it's always seemed to me like the greatest stuff was when they were writing for *themselves*. I don't think there's been any FW "singles" that I didn't think were the weak links on their respective albums.
Granted, their first real single was "Silent Cries" which was pretty good.
But then "Through Different Eyes" is easily the weakest link from PS.
Eye To Eye and Don't Follow Me are my least favorites from Parallels (POV, which was also a single was better)
Monument is an exception...probably the highlight of IO
Was there a single for APSOG?
And then One is OK, but definitely my least favorite from DC....which leads us back to APD, which was another attempt at something like TDE or E2E. I just don't like it when Jim intentionally tries to write something "radio friendly".... POV was probably his best attempt at that formula....maybe Monument.
That being said, I like the new stuff a lot better, and I have very high hopes for this album.
