there are definitely lingering effects of the 2000s era Live affecting sales. Blaming the current album for its weak initial reception is akin to blaming the shitty economy on an incoming president. Everyone knows that the outgoing administration fucked things up, but its easy to point the finger at the new guy.

Its going to take some time to build up momentum again. I don't they'll ever reach the same popularity as they did in the 90s, for countless reasons that have nothing to do with Live. As such, I think its silly to dwell too much on these chart ratings.

Ed hasn't been in Live since 2009. Live reformed without Ed in early 2012. To blame Ed for Live's new album tanking in 2014 is truly ridiculous.
