I listen to it more now than when I first bought it. New Year's Day and Rollercoaster have both grown on me and I have enjoyed them live. My husband and I both agree we like THINFS more than the circle. I love that they played more new songs on this tour than the last one.

After the last tour, I felt like I needed a break from the band and honestly it did me a lot of good because by the time this cd came out and the tour, it got me excited in the band again.

I really fell in love with New Years Day after seeing it live. It takes me back to Jon's performance and his energy.

I love Scars On This Guitar. Enjoy the lyrics and melody. But I also love Amen and Bed of Roses so it's in a similar vein.

I still really like it and listen to it. New Year's Day is one that's grown on me as well. I don't think I could tell you what tracks are on WAN or BB anymore, but THINFS restored my faith and I haven't lost it (even if the tour has been a bit meh ).

After WAN and the 2013 tour, I thought it was over... This was a great comeback in terms of album and tour... I had a blast at all 3 shows... and the album exceeded my expectations... I still love Labor Of Love and wish Jon brought that one to life more during the tour...

I don't really listen to albums anymore like I did back in the day but this one I did... I wouldn't say there are a ton of killer songs but there isn't a bad song either... and most are very good...

I see this period as a reinvention (or rebirth as Jon would say)... it's a cross between a Solo and Band Album/Tour and for that reason alone, I'm more accepting to the change (unlike most people here)

Now that it's over, I'm ready for the next one... Like I stated prior, I don't listen to albums but I'm happy to add this to my shuffle, along with BB and WAN... The Box Set wasn't a great album but has some very good / enjoyable tracks and that's my take with the last three... Maybe not great overall albums but a lot of enjoyable tracks (although THINFS is almost great if the production was a little better and the songs were like they were live but with cleaner vocals)...

So Yes!!! Great Job Jon!!! You proved there is life without Richie...

It has actually held up very well for me. There are a few tracks I don't listen to anymore and ironically I once regarded New Year's Day as the grower on the album and nowadays it falls flat for me. But I still have about eight tracks I really enjoy and constantly listen to. Proves to me what a pile of shit WAN had been

I like that song exponentially better than Labor of Love and Real Love ❤️.
