    I think its great that Killswitch Engage did so well! They released a great album and deserve the recognition they are getting. I think its also great that a rock album (let alone metal) debuted so well. Also happy that Michael Jackson’s cd sells since his death hasnt stalled current releases, not that Killswitch would have competition with Jackson.
