Unearth Sells Well, While Gojira…Not As Good

Unearth landed themselves on the Billboard 200 with their first weeks sales of The March clocking in at just under 11,000 copies. This placed them at #45, while France’s Gojira didn’t do so well with their second album on the Prosthetic label, The Way Of All Flesh only selling around 4,200 copies. I thought The Way Of All Flesh would sell much better considering the buzz around this band and the response that their previous album, From Mars To Sirius, received. While 4,200 was still pretty good and enough to land them at #138 on the Billboard 200, it still seems to me that it would have sold more with all the people on the Internet praising them. However, it’s still early on, so with some touring this album could end up selling much better. If you haven’t checked out The Way Of All Flesh, I highly recommend it especially if you like From Mars To Sirius.
