Really? Wow, I hope this single will be the next one. "Half Truism" is acutally one of my favorite songs off the new record.

dj did just say the new track from the album... makes it sound like a single to me :) - think they'll make a video :) hahaha
i got really excited... I listen to the song all the time but it was amusing because it came on kroq and i got excited for a song i like but for a moment was confused as to what i was listening to because "wait, they don't play this on the radio... what song is this?"
hahaha

Kristy was better in Europe than in US. Half Truism will do the job I believe.

That's interesting, thanks for the update!
The band seems to use Kroq as a testing ground for new singles. Stuff Is Messed Up received a fairly positive response, perhaps they're seeing how well Half-Truism will do, and if it really takes off we may yet see a fourth single!

The question is, which would you rather be a single? Half-truism or shit is fucked up?
I like shit is fucked up better, but I think half-truism would be more successful [it's an awesome song that can appeal to anyone not necessarily punkrock/fast music fans xD]

that would be cool if half truism was a single, cause they'd make a video.

Not here in ITALY . RAFRAG isn't sponsorized well . All video singles aren't/wasn't broadcasted on all itaian music channel , same thing for the radio except for Virgin Radio. It's a shame.

YEs, here it's true too. But after years of total absence of Offspring in Portuguese radio, KRISTY is being played in some major radios....

They announced right now: "new offspring". So it's Half Truism the new single, or they have a deal with the band where they play all of their songs... I don't know!

no,i really think that sifu is gonna make better it is more catchy and will have more appeal than half-truism,in my opinion (even i like half-truism better),nothingtown would do better,i think that the next single should be oe of those

If they do make a video for this song, hopefully the band members will appear in it.

I'm not going to argue or anything since it's impossible to tell for sure but I would bet on half-truism personally.

It's wikipedia, AND they only said "might"? Nothing to get excited about then imo :rolleyes:

"Half Truism" is #4 on KROQ's What's New (http://www.kroq-data.com/music/whatsnew.asp) list. So, this means that it may or may not be the next single.
You know what? Fuck it. Every song except Fix You deserves to be a single.

KROQ has played both SIMU and Half Truism. So at least we know that one of those songs is gonna be the fourth single. Which is clearly the right choice.
If there is a fourth single that is. Maybe they'll release another one while they're touring.

haha yeah basically, except maybe rise and fall, people would just whine about how it looks like american idiot :rolleyes:
Half-Truism as a fourth single would be awesome. Simu would be awesome, too. But somehow I'd rather have Half-Truism brought out as a single.

Yeah seriously I would love to start hearing half-truism on the radio! :)

yes, i do translate some. np glad to help :)
I've always thought SIMU would do well, but the censoring would be annoying. Half-Truism and Nothingtown are the "obvious choices." If they wanted to go in a different direction and let people hear something they haven't heard that often from the Offspring, A Lot Like Me would be a good choice. I think it'd chart decently as well.

Dexter did say he'd like to make a lot of singles and videos for this record, so let's keep our fingers crossed and hope that we'll have 2 (or maybe even more) singles and music vids.
I'd love to see Shit is fucked up and Nothingtown, but onlye AFTER half truism :)
Do you have the article where he said that? A lot of bands release as many as five singles per album, but those albums are usually multiplatinum.
Budzy
02-22-2009, 01:23 AM
There'll be 12 singles, remember what Noodles said? '12 hits man' :D
But this is good news, I hope Half-Truism makes it as 4th single + an awesome video featuring the whole band rocking out.

Their should be a music video for every song!!!!
except fix you...
Okay, Fix You, too...
But yeah, I would totally be happy with Stuff is Messed Up, Nothingtown or Take Me Nowhere. A Lot Like Me is a tight song, but I don't think it would be a good single. Overall, I want Half-Truism because it's my favorite song on the album.

Sort of expected it, considering it was one of the few played live before the album was released.

I've been wishing for this song to be a single since I first heard RAFRAG!
It's arguably the best song on the album.
Hmmmmm.... HeadAndU... Hmmm....... I don't know exactly why this name sounds so familiar... hmmm:D

02-23-2009, 11:22 AM
Hearing Half Truism will not make ANYONE more interested in buying RAFRAG. Period.
And aside from that, there probably won't be a fourth single unless Kristy and/or the upcoming tour can significantly increase RAFRAG's sales.
SIMU FTW.

I don't really like ALLM either, actually.
