2) They only released one proper single for the album after its release... and that was even after the tour was done! (Come With US EP) I remember that I bought the Japanese import of it, b/c I wanted live tracks after I saw them play
3) I only heard positive reports from their live shows
Weren't we discussing their latest effort "Push the Button" and it's tour/lack of US tour, not "Come With Us", which was released late 01-early 02?

Anyway, about Come With Us...you're mistaken about the singles. "It Began in Africa" was released well in advance of the album, yes. But "Star Guitar" and "Come With Us/The Test" were both released after the album. The last promo was "American EP", and that was probabaly after the tour.
