The album won't just fizzle it will die a grisly death. Whereas DOR as the first single would obvioulsy have brought about world peace and helped Under The Skin be bigger than Thriller. Of course. What a mistake to release Show You How as the first single! It's like Lindsey has turned into Animal Collective or Acid Mothers Temple or something! What the hell is he thinking?
Like Down On Rodeo had a chance in hell of being a hit  |
You're right that it's highly unlikely "Down On Rodeo" would've been a "hit," but I do have to agree that it would have a better
shot at receiving radio airplay than "Show You How" will have.
All arguments about "safe choices" verses "taking chances" aside, if your album doesn't receive exposure then no one's going to know about it. And if they don't know about it, then they can't buy it.
Gotta throw out the bait before you can reel 'em in!
