: Not double-edged in this case. If someone senses an artist has only one or two good songs, they'd stop there (true with most albums).
That's right.
If I hear a few mpegs and decide Waking Hour is crappy, I won't buy the album - Sale Lost. (Otherwise I would have bought it and been disappointed).
If I like Waking Hour somewhat, I might go with just the mpegs and not buy the album - Sale Lost.
If I really like Waking Hour, I'll buy the album after listening to a few mpegs - Sale Gained.
Did you know that the original Waking Hour was posted to mp3.com in its entirety in high quality form? It featured the college-party version of ETGB, a piano-only version of Gravity (not the one on the web page), a different version of The Tower, and a slightly different track sequence?
