Release

"Way Too Far" was released to active rock and heritage rock radio stations without an official impact date sometime in March 2012. It debuted and peaked at number 38 on the United States Billboard Mainstream Rock chart, failing to match the success of the album's first two singles. The song was inducted into the Loudwire Cage Match Hall of Fame after Internet users voted for it over various other songs five days in a row, beating songs by Slash, Demon Hunter, Pennywise, Metallica, and Hollywood Undead.

Music video

The music video for "Way Too Far" premiered on May 7, 2012, and was directed by Joshua Allen, who also directed the previous music video for "Chaos Lives in Everything". Unlike the previous videos, Way Too Far's video was conceptual and its concept features each band member taking things 'way too far'.

Impossible Princess

Impossible Princess (retitled Kylie Minogue in the UK and Europe) is the sixth studio album by Australian recording artist Kylie Minogue, released on 22 October 1997. Because the A&R department of her label, Deconstruction Records, were not present throughout the majority of the album's production process, song writing and production were primarily handled by Minogue, in collaboration with producers Dave Ball, Ingo Vauk, Brothers in Rhythm, Manic Street Preachers and Rob Dougan.

Minogue started work on the album in October 1995 when she returned from her trips with French photographer and her then-boyfriend Stéphane Sednaoui. A release with a mixture of different musical genres and styles, the album features several songs employing themes of self-reflection, relationships and insecurities. The album cover was photographed by Sednaoui and the album title was derived from the book Poems to Break the Harts of Impossible Princesses (1994) by Billy Childish and from a lyric in the song "Dreams". The tracks "Some Kind of Bliss", "Did It Again", "Breathe" and "Cowboy Style" served as the album's official singles, while the other songs from the album served as promotional singles in Australia and New Zealand.
