WAS SAY YOU WILL A BOMB? Please Read

others on this board know the numbers, including the money put in and money got out of syw much better than i do, but i'll try to give you what i know:

it opened at #3, and went gold. by now it probably sold close to a million copies, but i don't think it was ever officially certified platinum. that's not bad, but after watching DR doc, i suspect the band and the label expected more. of course this is the time when the music industry is/has been in flux, but... there were always probably just a few bands/artists having huge sales, and if you look that's the case now too. again, i know nothing about music industry and how it operates, others on this board have much more knowledge and info.

also, i agree with mylittledemon - would the quality of the album be any better if it sold more? no. but i wouldn't mind hearing songs like come, red rover, and murrow on the classic rock radio - which would be a possibility, maybe, if the album sold better.

EDIT: btw, why are you yelling?
