I agree. Chart performance aside, my reaction to TAALS was: "Ugh! Another damn ballad!" I ignored Always for the same reason. The difference is Always took hold eventually whereas I'm still resistant to TAALS to this day because of the history. Ballads are slow burners for me and awful choices for first singles regardless of quality. Give me the rockers first then I'll settle in for the slow stuff.
The first I heard SIBSN, since I didn't bother buying Crossroad at the time, was when they performed it on Saturday Night Live. It definitely got my attention.
