i think you'll be surprised 6 months from now. it's selling very well in the UK and once the tour starts in the States, it will climb back up the charts.
two months in, it's already considered a huge critical success - and that's really all that matters these days.
it would have sucked if it sold huge amounts and got awful reviews, which is what most of the top of the charts acts get these days.
if you look at her peers - tom petty, robert plant, bruce springsteen, etc., they don't sell a lot records anymore either. but the reviews are generally great and the true fans stay loyal and go to the shows.
i think it's a really strong album. a bit too long and i could have done without Cheaper Than Free and Ghosts Are Gone. but aside from that, it's her strongest collection since Bella Donna.
i wish there was a legitimate video for For What's It's Worth (not one directed by Dave Stewart but by a really creative young director).
