Well Uprising is the newest single off their new album, so it'd only make sense to promote it.

What are you talking about? It's a perfect representation of the new album. A blend of rock and pop with hints of prog, it's perfectly balanced. But let's not forget this is a pop album and probably their most accessible release yet. I heard in an interview that the band chose Uprising as the first song on the album because all the other opening tracks on their past albums sorta build up which is true, so it's interesting that they'd pick one that just go right into it.

Though the new album is good I hope the next one if more guitar dominated.
