I read the comment about the new album being more
commercial and radio friendly, and I winced
because I knew the comment would get the reaction
it already has from one person: "Is that a good
thing?"

This drives me nuts. Why is commercial success
for a band considered bad in some camps? There
always seems to be a tenuous balance of art vs.
success among long-time fans who feel a sense of
ownership over a band. I'm of the opinion that
any music that OTR records/releases/performs is
far better and has more lasting value than the
Backstreet Boys/Brittney Spears crowd. And if OTR
or any other similar band/artist is a commercial
success, it's that much better.
