#18 sounds better than the 21,000 they sold. That’s pretty weak still. I figured it’d be better than that.

Prodigal Son continues to rise on the Active Rock chart, up to #17 on Mediabase, so hopefully sales will pick up a little.

it didn’t do much for theory when “So Happy” was near #1 for 3 weeks

yea I doubt it’ll cause them to move up into the top 50, rock radio just doesnt have that much power anymore, but it should at least provide some steady sales like 5-6k per week.

They [Sevendust] haven’t been promoting their new album for shit at live shows either. I don’t know if they have just not been doing that or what at other shows, but when I saw them last weekend they didn’t say a word about having a new album out. They only played “Inside” and “Prodigal Son” live, too, so it’s not like they’re attempting to show people the new tunes. Kinda sad. It was cool to see Clint playing with them again, though.
