The Lonely Position of Neutral by Trust Company
The Lonely Position of Neutral is an album by Trust Company, released in 2002. 3 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 21 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Downfall”, on 19 lists with a best position of #11.
The Lonely Position of Neutral, the debut from Montgomery, Alabama's Trust Company, came out in July 2002, and it's nu-metal with a pop songwriter's ear for the hook. Kevin Palmer sings and plays guitar alongside James Fukai, with Josh Moates on bass and Jason Singleton on drums, and the title has a history: it was once the name of "Drop to Zero", back when the band was called 41Down, and the song got a remake here.
"Downfall" was the breakthrough, a catchy slab of churning guitars with a video that sent Palmer strolling along while everything behind him blew away in the wind, and MTV2 played it plenty. "Running From Me" followed with the band peeling off odd masks in a downpour, and "The Fear" came in 2003. The album went gold and remains their most successful.
