I just about managed to resist a "climax" pun in the thread title
Anyway, Usher's new song is called "Climax" and I think it is one of the best songs of 2012 so far. The subtle, throbbing electro beat mixed with Usher's falsetto is quite superb.
It is a real grower for sure...kind of slowly burns its way into your brain.
I hope this will be a huge hit for him

Sorry, but I have heard it a few times now and it actually gives me a headache. It is HORRIBLE

In fact it is probably the WORST song I have heard this year so far. Utter tripe.

Yes, this song is really good. Better than most of the singles he's released in the past few years.

I LOVED the "8701" and "Confessions" albums but then I sort of lost interest in him but I really like this song.

Yes, this song kind of reminds me of 8701 Usher

I HATE the song "Climax". No Bang More of a Large Flop. The Song Contains No Hook,Melody or Thigh-Pumping Beats. Usher, We Want Hits Like "OMG" & "Yeah". Will Them Days Ever Return. For Those Trying To Discover Usher Likes, Here's A Remarkalbe UK Born One- Labrinth With "Last Time" (Out This Week,Should Make UKTOP40'S TOP 5)

EDIT: Just googled, its called 'revolutionary pop'

Back with a wobble more like... (A dubstep pun right there)

It has divided opinion amongst my friends, and it isn't too well known about. Compare it to "Yeah" and "Love in the Club" and all, it isn't gathering the momentum his past hits have had.
I don't like it! Disappointed in Diplo.

Diplo thinks this song is the best thing he has worked on in his career so far.

LOL, sure it wasn't! Just used for effect! As you can see, i've clearly stopped. Thanks for the very much plausible comment!

Well...it's great that he hasn't completely given up on his roots. 'Climax' is not bad, but not great either. It's smooth, though, sloppy video aside

Agreed! It also hasn't charted well in the places i believe it has been released in- America,Australia,Canada & Denmark. When it is released in the UK, i doubt it will chart well due to the heavy single spring season (which is when i think the single will be released)

Chart Sources:

Chart (2012) Peak
position
Australia (ARIA)[7] 34
Australia Urban (ARIA)[8] 16
Canada (Canadian Hot 100)[9] 96
Denmark (Tracklisten)[10] 39
US Billboard Hot 100[11] 57
US Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs (Billboard)[12] 10

Yeah it's so addictive and I think it is best to listen to in a dark room. The video is a bit disappointing alright though. Looks like it was made on a shoestring budget

I think it's awful! He overuses his falsetto far too much to the point where it gives me a headache. And it's rather bland and boring, as is the video in my opinion.

Bieber has nothing to do with the song..
But you can blame Usher for Bieber's success, considering he discovered him.

He has a duet with Alexandra Burke apparently coming too...his new single is great imo...I didn't really like Raymond v Raymond so this is a welcome change back to his roots tbh..

Will them days ever return? OMG was from his last album

I LOVE Climax, and I've been waiting for a return to this! I loved Raymond vs Raymond but more for songs like Mars vs Venus and There Goes My Baby rather than OMG and DJ Got Us Falling in Love.
