I'll give this a thumbs up.

This. It's much better than The Circle IMO. There are very few songs I still listen to from that one.

I always said, take the best songs from each album, LH to WAN (including Richie's) and you have a really good album.

All those songs on each album combined probably total the amount of songs they would write for previous albums so in essence, there you go.

Now we are getting songs that should not leave the demo stage in produced quality as album fillers.

That's kind of how I found my copy of the Breakout home video -- in the rental store's clearance bin! I'd never part with it now, of course -- at least not until I transferred it to DVD!

Come to think of it, I think I do too. The Circle stood out for Superman, Thorn and Love's The Only Rule. Other than that, nothing that I still listen to regularly. I still listen to Because We Can, I'm With You, With These two Hands, Water.

There's a couple of good songs on the album, but the whole "JBJ solo album"-flavor sours the experience. I'm With You is the best song on the album IMO, but it's hardly a band song.

I dig Pictures Of You (horrible lyrics aside) and Beautiful World (horrible lyrics aside) too. And I actually like Amen.

I think I may be the same. From The Circle, I regularly listen to Superman and Love's the Only Rule, but I still enjoy a few other songs from it.

WAN I listen to BWC, Pictures, Beautiful World, Echo, Im With You and Water.

Having said all that, the songs I don't like from WAN, I dislike much more than the songs I don't like on The Circle. I can listen to The Circle all the way through without skipping many songs, whereas I will skip at least 4 songs.

So it's really unbalanced for me between the two albums. It's hard to pick which I like better.

I will say though that Superman Tonight is one of my fav songs by the band. It would be in my top 10.

I actually love the post-2000 Bon Jovi sound, got interested in the band after HAND (which is still my favourite record) but I really enjoyed The Circle and WAN. I'm 20 at the moment so I have grown in up this pop-rock era with my other favourite bands being Matchbox Twenty, Train and Matt Nathanson.

Songs I listen to from The Circle
Superman
Thorn
Brokenpromiseland
Love's The Only Rule
Fast Cars
Happy Now

WAN:
Because We Can
I'm With You
What About Now
Pictures of You
Water
Army of One
Beautiful World
Room
These Two Hands

I'm With You and Amen would've beeen great for me if Jon would still have a voice...another one that I really like is What's Left Of Me,which i've been listening alot to lately.
I don't like listening to BWC cause they played the sh*t out of it on the radio,just like they did with WWBTF, What Do You Got, IML and HAND.
