The album made it to number 2 in the charts, but despite the number of tracks, only two singles were produced. "Closer Than Most" which got to number 22 in September. The double a-side "The River / Just Checkin'" which got to number 59 in December. Many blame this on a bad choice of release, "The River" is arguably one of the weaker songs on the album, and many believe it was released because of how moving it sounded on the tour.
