I love reading about all this optimism with the new record, but I think we need to realize how pathetic the majority of these radio/music listeners are. If you search online, a few radio stations have these March Madness Music Bracket Challenges (in reference to the big NCAA mens basketball tournament) where fans pick the winners of one on one match ups (band versus band). Just look at who these supposed "fans" are picking. It's just sad what people think is good music.
