A great album(ones that sell into the stratosphere) is a great experience, front to back. It flows seamlessly. I'd say that Tusk is that. SYW is NOT. I maintain that if they'd cut it down to the poppiest 42 minute album possible, that it would have sold more.
Casual fans not caring about Christine? Maybe not seeing her face, but hearing her pop songs, and her soothing voice? I've told this story a million times, but I got my copy of deluxe SYW from my cousin's roommate. She'd bought it, and tried to like it, but HATED it, and gave it to me. "This doesn't sound like FM!" She especially hated Come. I'd say she has good taste...

I mean, can you imagine Tusk without Brown Eyes, Think About Me, Honey Hi, Never Forget, Never Make Me Cry, and The amazing Over and Over?
And then have those songs replaced by those two whackos? It would be a trashy mess, much like SYW is.
