maybe Bon jovi isn't for you!
Maybe you should get into another band as your review is very negative.

No no I promise you that Bon Jovi is the right band for me. I love most of their records for life. But my point is that there was supposed to be a real hard rock record and I think this promise is broken because there are as much hard rock as slow songs on the record.
´What I'm really wondering myself is how did it come to that big difference on the album: on the one hand lots of very slow calmed songs and on the other hand this hard rock stuff.
It's not that I say most of the slow songs are really bad but they are, FOR ME, nothing special anymore. When I listen to the charts I can hear songs e.g. like "Right side of wrong" performed by other artists with another title. You understand what I mean? At amazon.de someone wrote that they should change their name into "POP JOVI". When I hear "You had me from hello" or "All about loving you" I understand this opinion. IMO someone who don't know about the big influence of Springsteen to BJ wouldn't understand "Misunderstood". I'm a big Springsteen fan so I like the song but I think the public won't(if it'll be released as a single).

You like Love Me Back to Life and I think that's the least likable song on the CD.

Yes I was really surprised by that one. This was the ballad I was waiting for since "I'll be there for you". I think it's a great hard rock love song. Really a masterpiece.

However, I think most of the people who have the CD are pleased.

Don't get me wrong, I'm pleased too. The hard rock stuff is great, I think "Undivided" and "Bounce" will become classics. But if they left out "Right side of wrong"(would have been a good bonus track), "You had me from hello" and "Open all night" an d replace it by "No regrets", "Breathe" and "Another reason to believe" it probably be the best BJ record ever.
