Touche! Although I think it's important to remember that Time was released in a different time (har har). Their sales expectations must be considerably tempered by this point.

Yes, I think it's fair to say that the band has demonstrated over the years that they
do have a commercial mindset, particularly Stevie and Mick, but I think all of them to a degree. I recently watched the Destiny Rules documentary and I swear almost half of the screentime was centred around the band's angsting over whether people would actually buy Say You Will. But then, they must be aware of how little they did to promote the EP. It'll be interesting to find out how they all are reacting to this.
