It's a novel idea and it just serves to illustrate that not only has music obviously changed across the decades, marketing material has changed as well. With Bon Jovi, I think even your middle example of the 90s font compared to the 90s sound supports the idea because it is hard-edged and raw. It's bold like the music was but not just superficially bold like the 00s font.

The modern font is completely dull and uninspired. It says quite a lot about the band and the music IMO and also says a lot about how they want their image put across, which is 'safe' and 'mainstream'.

I'm hoping they might be a little more creative with the forthcoming album in both a musical and artistic perspective but I'm not holding my breath and that's OK because since LH, I have kind of accepted that they just don't write like that any more.

The main thing for me now is that they paid more attention to the songs every long-term Jovi fan loves on the last tour. If they keep doing that, it'll keep me interested in the band.
