Actually I agree with some of his points.
What's the point to repeat and repeat the word "heavy" like a thousand times before the album was released, and then release the "softest" songs as the main singles? No matter how we gonna try knead it, these two are (not pop, but) far from what you expected to be the lead singles for this album. GATS didn't got any serious promotion (music video, collaborate with another product like movie, TV show or game, physical release, etc..), and I don't know if I should even remind Wastelands here.
Releasing and promoting GATS and after Rebellion (or ALITS or whatever), and only then Final Masquerade was way better option.
Until It's Gone was enormous promo for the Mall, if they were used it for the movie instead of THP.
My point is that one "heavy" and one "softer" main singles plus some promos, is better than two "softer" main singles and two "heavy" promos for this album. It's just don't fit for this album. Very simple.
I don't think that anyone should say what the band should do, it's their band and their decisions, but c'mon. lol.
