Exactly. If DOR was the first single, he'd interest people that would go "WhatThe FCK" when they listened to the album. I still think that
Red Rover would have interested more people than Peacekeeper and SYW did simply because it would have gotten attention due to quirkyness. Nobody of the big audience is waiting for a Fleetwood Mac that sounds like Fleetwood Mac these days. That's history. And Lindsey doesn't take the BIG risk here: He's not bringing out Shut Us Down as a single (which I would have LOVED), but a song that has a hook that spins around in your head AND has an overall different approach than radio is used to.
