Won't the pop/rock sound have died down before March 2007??? The success of GA's new singles perhaps suggests that pure pop will be making its comeback...

Well the album seems old to me but that could be because I've listened to it way too much.

I can see it being a hit; and with a good follow up [i.e. WIAFA or EIN] I think they should do okay, although I don't see them being huge here.
