Not many on this list...
that I own (Since my favorite genre of music has gone back to the underground):
David Gilmour - On An Island 1.187.000 (Great!)
Lacuna Coil - Karmacode 227.000 (Great!)
Def Leppard - Yeah! 187.000 (Good)
Queensryche - Operation: Mindcrime II 170.000 (Major Disappointment)
Really sad that nowadays an album is only considered a success depending on sales and/or awards it may win than instead of if the album contains ANY great music.
One of the best metal releases last year (By many a critic) only sold over 30,000-Nevermore's "This Godless Endeavor", but was overlooked since it was not a major label release (Small label Century Media). But at least Nevermore's label mates Lacuna Coil are gaining momentum with their style of goth metal (Remains to be seen if the Oct.3rd release of the new Evanescence album will sell like their previous release "Fallen")
