The biggest complaint about Carry On was that it was that it showed off a bunch of different styles but had no direction. At least by hiring Timbaland we know what direction its headed, and it wasn't even the worst possible direction (You don't think there's more where the "Billie Jean" cover came from?).

If you want a scapegoat on this, blame Timbaland for trying to steal this song to score a hit for himself (See Also: "Apologize") or Ryan Tedder, who apparently helped write the song. Dear Ryan Tedder: before you help established artists write their songs, you might wanna make your own band's songs suck a bit less.

Man, that's some good trolling there.

@Ned Raggett: That's fantastic. I would've gone straight for "Like Suicide" myself but perhaps that's too obvious...

Doubt modern rock stations are gonna play it. Top 40?

Of a dying fame
I was totally trading on my good name
Now Timbaland's talking about a
Comeback song
And Idolator said 'This is totally wrong'

And my talent was burned out yesterday
Like Maura's past had died
And I've been caught in a shit sellout
