Actually some in the media gave UEDS good reviews. In this particular case, I don't think reviews hurt UEDS sales. I think the lack of promotion and airplay hurt more. For some of her fans, maybe she strayed too far from her pop roots. For others, the album was of a style outside the mainstream. Such albums can be a big success, or can fail miserably. It's very risky. Look at Nolwenn's last album. It was also out of the mainstream and did quite well. It is truly difficult to predict what the public will like a year from now when your album is released. It's even harder if you stray far away from the mainstream. And on top of all that, sales are down across the board in the music industry, with few exceptions.
