Imagine this instead:
1. Ride
2. Yeah I Know or Heavy Rotation instead of Gimmie Dat which was too much of a departure from Ride.
1. Body Party
2. Sophomore!!! I'm Out was cool but not in tune with BP either.
And of course the pop singles for international release.

I disagree slightly.
IO was a great choice for a second single and could have done better but if I remember correctly they waited too long for it to be released on iTunes which is why it didn't do as well as it should have. As for the Basic Instinct era, I agree slightly, but I also think the Gimme Dat (Slow Bass Remix) should have replaced the original and be released because that would have done well.
Either way, I'm hoping lessons have been learned and that this era can be managed better.
