To overstate the obvious, 360 BPM tech-death and multi-platinum nu metal bands are worlds apart in every way possible, especially when it comes to projected album sales.

To frame the perspective of this figure a little better, check this out - Canadian technical death metal band Archspire had a better first week sales tally. Had pre-orders for physical copies been available, the band absolutely could have crushed their first week tally of the 3,500 units attributed to 'CDs, LPs, paid digital downloads and paid track equivalent streams.' Song sales even doubled right after that Lollapalooza set this summer.Īs we know, CDs, LPs and cassettes were not available for purchase and it should be noted that the figure, provided by Ryan Downey's weekly newsletter, did not include streaming equivalents, meaning that on-demand streams of Still Sucks songs were not factored into that total. So, with the stars aligned in the most inconceivable way and a new record imminent, Bizkit instead decided to keep riding the viral wave, teasing new music drops that eventually gave way to a Halloween release.
