That's only a 20% hate rate, and I'd kinda figured the haters would be more vocal in this poll and more likely to respond.

[Silvergun Picture Show]

You haters must have never listened to it....

...on weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeed.

Andrew, I will try this out and see if I can get it then haha.

I actually haven't checked out the new album blazed surprisingly.

[SoftVinyl]

The album is KILLER on the 'weed'!!!

I'll need some weed, a few shots of vicodin, and a bottle of Jack Daniels.

Loved it! This is the reason why I love this band, they know no limits... Cinnamon makes me smile.

Although... I would have put it as a "hidden" track, like don't drop the dime

Love: 30
Hate: 11
Alright: 12

Its not the style of the song that bothers me, but rather the simplicity of the lyrics.  I mean the Chorus consists of "Yeah" and "Come On".

I dont hate, but I dont love either.  

Love: 30
Hate: 11
Alright: 13

The vocal melody and that on-purpose nasally vocal drives me up the wall.

I both love it...and dislike it...

I think it is a great pop song. A very happy, bouncy summer song. If Sheryl Crow or Rob Thomas or Justin Timberlake or Shania Twain came out with this, I'd say it was perfect for them. A nice, lightweight, positive song that is perfect for Hot AC stations. I'm also happy to see that THE BAND is happy -- to see them write a song like this, after all of the crap they have been through, is fantastic to see.  

BUT... let me tell why I pray that they DO NOT release this as a single. They are a ROCK BAND, a band of STT, Down, Coma. A band whose "pop" hits have pretty much all still had a cool, dark feel to them (Plush, Sour Girl, even Days Of The Week had an eccentric vibe to it). This song is TOO sugary, too Miley Cyrus-y, too Taylor Swift-y for such a band. It has the potential to turn an awful lot of their harder fans away from them, to see the band being discussed as sellouts of a sort.

A similar example that those over 40 can recall: Styx was a very popular ROCK band in the late 70s, with songs like Come Sail Away, Renegade, etc. Even their "ballads" were loud, like Lady. But then in the early 80s, their keyboardist Dennis DeYoung took them into a campier, poppier direction. They came out with Mr. Roboto and Babe, two huge hits that soared to the top of the charts. But that choice killed them. They were never taken seriously as a ROCK band again. The band ended up dumping DeYoung in the 90s and now tries to focus their act on their harder side as best they can (albeit as a classic hits touring band - their CDs don't sell well anymore).

STP is a bigger band than Styx was, but the point holds. You can kill your reputation when making the wrong singles choices. I like Cinnamon, but it could be the hit that kills this band's rock and roll aura.

Love: 30

Agreed! Agreed! So freaking AGREE! I'm not at 40 yet, but I am very familiar with Styx since they started in the Chicago area. Roboto killed them! I want EVERY Cinnamonite to be careful what you wish for. YOU'VE BEEN WARNED.

I look at it like this:  Yes, it's a pop-oriented song, but it's STP doing it.  STP, a bunch of 40 year olds, beating the teenybopper bands at their own game and doing it much better.  Now, I can understand the STP fans that don't consider that a worthy achievement, and maybe it's not, but Scott's vocals are just so smooth on that track that it's hard for me to argue with it.
