I LOVE it, personally. I think it sounds fantastic!

It's amazing! I got up at 3 this morning just to hear it on British radio, but I'm so glad I did. Sharon looks stunning in the video!!

I absolutely love it It's so catchy, it's gonna be stuck in my head all day Sharon's vocals are amazing on it. Very different

I like it. I don't love it yet, but maybe that will come with next listens.

I think in the next following days I can't help but keep an eye on the iTunes charts Currently at #87.

Edit: #62... it needs to be in top 30 so it will be played on Q music.

Edit 2: #34... it's above Britney!

I'm inlove with faster! sharons vocals are beyond powerful
The drumming is epic an the riffs and guitar are awesome everything about it is amazing! i actually cried my eyes out when i heard it

Within Temptation are back bigger and better than ever!

I am freaking the fuck out right now. This is song sounds FUCKING AWESOME! Sharon's vocals are amazing, as always, and I love this new/different sound. Will be listening to this all day, and probably singing it, too.

Also, Sharon looks unbelievably gorgeous in that picture. But what else is new?

And yay for its climbing the iTunes charts!

My honest opinion


First off:It is WAY better than Where is the Edge.There's no doubt in it.Is it catchy?Yes it is.Is it rockin' your ears out?Yes it does.Is it WT?Yes it is,with a fresh new sound inspired by the good old '80s music

So yes I like the song,even though I listened for it one time for now.I still need more listens to love it though,but I know I will .I just love how WT sound more 'rocky;' than they used to be.It is less symphonic but I could hear some orchestra/orchestral effects in it.It sounds more subtile and beautiful And damn,I'm in love with that guitar solo Ruud does such a great job with it And at last but not last:Sharon's voice.OMS,this woman never ceases to amaze me with her versatility.Her vocals sound more raspy than usually.Not too high,not too low,more powerful

So yes.,I have even more high hopes about the album now I can't wait to see the video tto.10 more days though...

SO YEAH I REALLY LIKE THE SONG!!!

Much like "Where Is the Edge?" I don't really know if I like it or not. I've listened to it a few times today, and while I certainly don't think it sounds bad at all... I'm just not sure if it's for me, ya know? There are parts in the song where I swear Sharon sounds eerily like Nancy Wilson, which I actually do like, I've always said I love it when it sounds gritty and bluesy. I think I expected it to be heavier though - perhaps I've been too into The Red Chord and the like lately.

There will be a physical single as well so it seems, although not until March...

I hope it contains a B-side or acoustic or something. Just anything other than Radio Edit/Album Version or anymore Eindhoven tracks.

Now I'm absolutely convinced of Faster! I love it!
Especially because I can relate so damn much to the lyrics, that's exactly what I need right now. It gives me so much hope. <3

Have you guys seen the video?

Sharon looks absolutely stunning
And Sharon, you mezmerize my heart <3

^ Agreeeeed. <33 Gorgeous, as always.

Faster was just playing on Radio 538 (biggest commercial radio station) as part of "Maak 't of Kraak 't"

Listeners could text or mail or Tweet if they liked the song ('Maken') or disliked ('Kraken')

I'll let you know the percentage soon!

Yes! 79,4% - that means (although with Radio 538 you never know for sure) that they will be playing it more often.

Yay!!!

I finally got to like Faster!
It's so different from what they ever done so far, but it's so refreshing, catchy, just good.

It makes me just wanna

For some reason it has been rising in the Dutch iTunes charts... I have seen it at #9!

http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wpa/MRSS/topsongs/sf=143452/limit=0/rss.xml

Although it is now down to 11 again But I'm still proud

^ Hooray!! Also... Faster hit #1 in Belgium iTunes charts!! As well as Netherlands! As well, Utopia is at #2 in Portugal Well, according to this, anyways: http://www.apple.com/euro/itunes/charts/top10rocksongs.html

Well yes, but those are the rock charts. Not many songs are eligible for the rock charts for some reason. What I'm talking about are the overall charts, which also contains major artists like Lady Gaga and Adele. And Faster is now at #6 I've been meaning to download it sometime, but I'm doubting - is now the right time?

(As long as they're top 10 this is a handy link.)

Also, I stumbled across in on Cyprus charts at #19 Quite irrelevant because it's such a small country, but it was funny to see.

It's going faster and faster and faster up the charts Well, Dutch charts anyhoo.

Is it strange that I feel very proud of its climbing the Dutch charts?

It appears to have fallen to #18 overall now, though it's still at #1 in the rock charts, as well as #1 in the rock charts in Belgium, #7 in Germany, and #8 in Finland. Not too shabby.

^ Not at all strange

Update, as the Dutch Top 40 (most important chart) just became known and they entered at #32.

Netherlands:
Single Top 100: 14-48-96-OUT-98-45
Airplay Top 50: 30-38-55-?
Dutch Top 40: 32
iTunes: 30 (highest was 9 on March 1)

Flanders (Belgium):
Ultra Top 50: 39-43
iTunes: 38 (highest was 26 on February 19)

Great for WT!!
