Always was a sad story. Just a lost kid left alone & then kicked out of the store at 5 years old. Probably just stood there & began crying. Wrong place, wrong time because this predator probably happened to be right nearby.

I agree. It affected it, but even if you add 20-30% more sales, it's still pretty low. I think it was a combo of everything, BB only, economy, lack of promo, singles aren't really "hits".

Russtcb wasn't it you who posted last year an article about how rock albums usually don't come out around Christmas, because rock fans tend to not give albums as gifts. Whereas hip-hop albums do come out around the holidays.

Anyway, alot of things went bad for the album. I think it's over. There's no demand from people out there to buy this record. I don't think I heard Better on the radio once. SOD is the only shot at becoming a hit. I'm not sure it will.

^^ You know in the movie 'Invinceable' when his Dad says that one victory got him thru 30 years at the factory??  I believe there's truth to that. Just 1 championship is all I want. The Phillies finally won it all, & it was worth every heartache all these sports teams have given me. It puts life into perspective somehow, if only for a fleeting moment.

Giants better start getting their Offense together. 0-2 since losing Plaxico isn't looking to good. Granted, they could afford to lose a few & still win the division, but still, you wanna go into the playoffs hot.
