| Meh. It felt like a flop to me. Of course, my perceptions are colored by the U.S. market. I heard the single maybe twice on the radio here. And its a GOOD song, too. I think its a shame that it didn't do better stateside. On that subject: do we know who is the label for Meat's new record? I'm wondering who would finance a new Meat album at this point, after the sub-par performance and reception of a record called "Bat III." I mean, ROv Cavallo is one of the most sought-after producers in the biz right now, so I assume he commanded a high fee. So it doesn't appear the record is being made on short money or anything. > Couldn't Have Said It Better wasn't exactly a flop either. > Unless you're using very harsh criteria to judge it.
