Thank you

So not putting out a single was not your game plan, but the record companies?
I was going nutso that there was no single, but I remember there being a feeling of "Meat knows best" going around.
Meat
did know best.
He wanted a single

Validation feels good

I'm not every band. To them I am nothing but another a can of soup.

Can't you get someone with a little more get up and go?
No offence here Meat, but I imagine that there is a train of thought in the music industry that you're only as good as your last battle (in sales, not how it sounds) and if you don't get multi platinum on this album, they're not going to spend the promo money on the next.
That means sales suffer again on the next album, prompting them to spend even less.
At that rate you'll be lucky to end your amazing career getting a silver record and a $5 off any purchase voucher at Starbucks.
Couldn't Have Said It Better, Bat III, HCTB, none of them have had the impact they could have had with the right people behind them.

I honestly do sympathise with you about that.
It's what got Bela Lugosi bad on drugs.How the hell do you do any relevent work when everything is measured by the fact you played Dracula in 1931?
