For me, the biggest issue with SATT was the choice of singles (recurrent issue with them...)

Agreed, though I feel YLAINE is an enjoyable and successful attempt at chart success. I've got nothing against a good super-poppy song!
The problem is the follow-up singles (though to be fair I'm not sure if there was a really great second single on the album) and that a few of the other tracks on the album (I'd say Winterlovers, Underdogs and to a degree Patsy) are pretty poor.
I really like the tightness and flow of the album though... so conflicting!
