I totally think LB writes for commercial viability and did so on this record. Look at BTLH and SYHA - two classic commercial singles if I've ever hear a single. Plus, they are both brilliant IMO, even though he has said they are too commerical (there he is whining again
)
Serviously, I think LB is well aware when he begins a record that he will for whatever reason make the largest commotion possible to push for some brilliant new uncommerical sound (whatever that is
) when he knows full well that he is going to have to have a commercial aspect to the record - hence SYHA and BTLH. I think he balances that very well. Long live LB!!!!
