I would have thought that American audiences at the time would have lapped him up.

Sadly, to me, it seemed that he was too Pop for Rock audiences hopped up on "serious" FM Rock and too Rock for the MOR Hit Radio of the day. When he finally got a foot though that door, the songs started to lack that spark after that. The Slider did well in The States but only briefly, and as a follow up to a breakthough album in The US, it was not a strong one in my opinion.
