Which TEOM had, not Memoirs. No one really talked about Memoirs negatively or positively, so that just further proves my point that reviews don't mean jack. Mariah debuted with 168k off the back of her name at that point and "Obsessed", reviews had nothing to do with it.
I didn't say Memoirs was this hugely discussed album on the mouth of everyone and their moms, but 'Obsessed' had the whole Eminem controversy with it and had IDJ kept the original 25/8 release date for the album, it would have benefited from that talk IMO. 
See I don't think that it would have. Obsessed didn't.
And I think word of mouth does something (not huge amounts) to album sales. If you listen to the leak or you are someone who reads reviews and you tell all of your friends that the album sucks, they are most likely not going to buy it IMO...
that usually helps new artists, imo (see Snorah Jones, Amy Crackhouse or Susan Boring).
