According to Swiss Charts, Alive debuted at #4 in the Netherlands and was by far the highest new debut for the week. A very strong solo debut for Ed in Holland.

Not bad. They had like 6 or 7 copies of Ed's album where I bought it. Quite a lot for the small shop that it was.

#4 huh? Have they even heard the album?

Although they are much "sissier" in Europe so I guess this makes sense. This is going to be such a flop in the U.S. it won't even be funny.

I think Grace can do well on US radio if promoted but the album itself will flop. If it had one more radio friendly song such as Grace it may have a chance but the first single is always so important and if it isnt promoted then the album is dead already. Intresting to see if it will be in stock at most stores come Tuesday here. I hope so because I dont want to spend much time hunting down an album that I know I am going to lose intrest in a month from now.

I usually call local stores in advance to see if they will be carrying indie albums. The FYE near my house ordered 3 copies of Ed's album, so I already pre-ordered 1.

He did, he just bought them at different times and wearing disguises. He didn't want the people at FYE to think he was that pathetic.

Hehe, tell that to the Metal fans. Europe has some of the best metal bands (specially Death Metal) going at the moment.

Well I got sick of waiting for my prepurchased album 2 arrive and just downloaded alive.....Just half way through my first listen I really like in your light its words are quite moving really and I think ed's voice is fantastic. I think this album blows SFBM out of the water so far...drive is good too and drink well I really like the song although it is a little difficult to get over the corny lyrics there - reminds me of love shines in that way.
I think stand is alright too its a bit different but thats good.
Anyway back to some listening but overall I think this will last longer in my cd player than sfbm!
