That could certainly be a reason, but in Germany there was no promotion to and yet the album is also in the 2nd week in the top 5.

I have been reading the comments on Amazon UK and the negatives have been very harsh about the album.   I think this does deter people from buying if they are fans of the more casual type.

Most people still expect to get the DS feel when they buy a MK album. I gave a copy of Tracker to my cousin a while ago and he was very disappointed at first but then he played it on the road one day and liked it very much.

100% correct.  I can remember when STP was due for release, they knew they had a good one so they worked hard on promotion, got Mark on things like the Parkinson show and were even careful with the album cover (apparently they had a number of different designs for it). 

This time it's a boring cover and Mark doing the odd thing mostly on radio.  No prime-time TV appearances.  The fact he's been out of circulation so long doesn't help either.

Nail on the head.  People still see MK as the DS front man and want a DS album.  Those that have followed from GH know his style and music has changed.

Yes, right. I wrote it in a previous post: just a single DS style (Beryl-Tracker, What It Is-STP) to sell well the album. People recognize you for a very specific identity, and unfortunately his is still to be the frontman of one of the biggest rock bands in history. :disbelief

The three bonus songs should have been on the album, especially "Don't Suck Me In", because it is a DS style of song.  I wonder who decides which songs go on the album?    :think   ::)

I think it's a marketing strategy: I do not know how much Mark likes, but I think the record company makes the final decision.
