But since music is an almost completely subjective thing, what you think might have captured radios attention or fans attention for that matter may not at all be what I think. For example I really don't think Unbreakable is all that great or original sounding, I can't think of a song on the HAND album that it should have replaced. Does the band sometimes not hit the nail on the head over what should or shouldn't be a single??? Absolutely, but they will admit it that at the time they thouhgt such and such was going to be a huge hit and it never was. More often than not they have done ok with it, and I don't neccessarily think that their choice of singles is the reason for the lack of critical acclaim, to be honest, I think more often than not it's about journalistic laziness, there are very few albums that yuou can listen to just one time through IMO and make an honest, fair judgement about.
