Well, Rev Raptor was a disaster compared to Dom-tor or Mas-TOR.

I think it's a little bit unfair to compare RR with BotN. Accept is much bigger name than U.D.O. and then of course sells much more cds than U.D.O.. You should compare it with previous U.D.O. and it seems that they really are selling more and more with every album. because u.d.o. did little to NOTHING to promote themselves for the 14 years that Accept was away. almost everyone i know thought that Udo just went away when Accept went away. even though i've told them a million times that didn't happen. but when you don't tour, you don't promote, you don't even show your face in a country for over a decade, of course people are going to forget about you. Accept had to promote their a$$e$ off to make this album and tour work as well as it did. it wasn't just handed to them for nothing. of course it didn't hurt either that they put some effort into the album and didn't cut every corner and try to save every penny like another b.a.n.d. we know. but let me tell you guys one thing for sure. in the moments i got to hang with the band and talk to them and also when mark showed up to our gig, just from observing and talking to them, they did not get anything easy, the promted promoted and promoted some more. and when they were sick of promoting, they promoted one more time just to make sure. and they talked to anyone who wanted to talk to them. they didn't turn anyone down!! they were on radio stations. hanging out after the shows or before the shows signing stuff and talking. every night!! that's a lot of friggin work.
