It wouldn't make a difference as the album which comes out while the band celebrates 30 years of their foundation isn't anywhere close to their standards. This isn't the Bon Jovi sound, the album was bad as regards the production (Shanks sucks, that's a well known fact), as well as it lacks Richie's soul & spirit. The only good song that this album got is I'm With You... Because We Can is catchy, arena song, indeed but it hasn't nothing to do with Rock and it has nothing to do with Bon Jovi. Bon Jovi should return with a real rock/hard rock album this time as it comes to their 30th anniversary. After all they can still produce hits that will bring younger fans into their fanbase, if they want too.
So different sound of the album & better production could work. Richie's album was far better than WAN.
