[edit] Sales

The label shipped only 50,000 copies leading to wide-spread shortages in the first week of sales which resulted in the poor sales on the first week of release despite a strong first single, "Goodbye For Now". Only two singles have been released so far, probably due to conflicts between the band and their record label, Atlantic Records, which has resulted in only around 267,000 copies sold in America.
