Then on to others (i.e. Angel, etc.). So the public wouldn't even know about some of the different sounding tracks until they bought it,

But I don't think that's the answer. Let the public know what they're going to get or bad word of mouth will torpedo the album anyway. I very much liked Tusk, the single. It's avant garde sound didn't deter me, but when I got the whole album, I still found myself thinking, "What the heck is this?" If you had given me a more mainstream single, like "Think About Me" first, I would have only felt more baited and switched. So, the first single might as well be representative. "Warning to all who enter here."
