Absolutely, hide...Promotion and distribution are key. Jerry Cantrell's Degradation Trip is a masterpiece of rock in my mind (Ok, I'm slightly biased), and it's the best album people will never hear. Roadrunner Records did zero promotion and it did not sell well. The diehard Jerry fans bought it, but it could have done a lot better with the casual Alice fan who only knew one band member's name -- Layne Staley. They didn't push it on the radio stations, either, for whatever reason. It has at least four or five songs that would have made awesome singles. I just hope Wind Up does a really good job pushing the new band.
