I agree, but it also has to be said that I know I'm not the only person who has bought an album by a band I'm not necessarily a fan of and thought it was actually a really good album. I think most won't disagree with your statements, but a better track order and better flow might have made the album more listenable to people who aren't necessarily fans. It might not have sold two more albums, or it might have sold an extra 200,000 albums. But that's speculation.

OTOH, look at how glowing the reviews were for Lindsey's OOTC. It got some of the best reviews I've ever seen, got lots of promotion, had videos on VH-1, was played on the radio, and Lindsey even toured in support of the album, yet I think it sold about what "Time" sold. So it would appear that there's an "it factor" that the band no longer has.
