Songs like "Last Night", "STranger", "Memory", "WGOGO", Seat Next To You are the most embarrassing crap Jon ever came up with. Not to forget the HORRENDOUS ILTT.
This album does NOT sound like a band, Songs like Summertime WGIGO and the other shit songs on this piece of garbage have no depth or meaning at all if you ask me. With this record BJ became trend chasers and went the housewife easy listening route.
The only "good" song is Any other day - I would rate the album 1 out of 10. WAN i gave 3/10.
This album defines this now souless band the best. Worst album EVER (And I do not mean only BJ albums!)

You might not like the country tunes, as a lot of people, but there's a great difference from saying "i don't like them" to say "they are meaningless". About feeling, I find Lost Highway one with most of them, even the weaker songs like Everybody's Broken have a message and nice lyrics.
To me, the only song that are meaningless are Summertime and We Got It Going On, but because that's what they're supposed to be, the first one is a pop single-ish song and the other is a "have fun" one.
I find Till We Ain't Strangers Anymore one of the best post-2000 ballads, this is the most close to a power ballad we are going to get of this band, and I like it, not only the melody but the lyrics. Seat Next To You is a nice song, and Memory, to me, it's a masterpiece with real feelings.
When I listen to Lost Highway is like I can feel the lonelyness, the love and the wilingness to move forward and get on with your life. There aren't too many records that have done that for me, that's why I think it's really full of meaning.
I'm surprised that you find WAN better than LH, as I think this new record is the weakest they've put out. But hey, everyone has different tastes, it's all right
