Songs released as singles reflect whats popular at the moment and they all eventually sound DATED. It seems that those songs don't stand the test of time, and it doesn't help if the single is played out. Remixes sound even MORE dated.

Quality songs like Turn and WFTSC (which I don't expect to do that well as a single) will still sound great 10 years from now.

to be honest I think Turn would have done considerably worse as a single. It sounds way too similar to the other bands out there.

Jetstream is at least different, and people will hear and pick up on the chorus - I don't think thats true of Turn. The hardcore would buy it and no-one else. I also think a decent amount of the JS single sales will have been club kids after the excellent remixes.

WFTSC could and maybe should have been the first single, simply because it's the best track on the album by a distance, and should have been showcased as soon as possible. It's also very NO sounding where musically Turn could have been just about anyone.

All in my opinion of course.
