they had a rule... first album they promoted - once you charted they actually treated your second project on the strength of your first.So they did very little to promote it. In america... genius seems to only be defined when it's artistic and successful. Well America is built on bloodshed and capitalism. Capitalism, and corporations basically creating our music habits is what did this.So this notion that you have to have record sales to make a masterpiec is absurd. No? Ask Picasso.
