Same here unfortunately,its been on constant play for a week,not to many memorable moments for me on the album.Ive always liked Jovi as a rock band,songs with oomph the last two albums have definitley left their rock roots behind....I know some will say Jovi are maturing yadda yadda,listen to the lyrics but it is possible to stick to your roots no matter what youre age....

Seriously i like Bounce better than the Circle,if thats a crime then shoot me!!

Unlike many bullies around here, i kinda believe Jon Bon and Richie surf around drycounty.com and take your criticisim so seriously; they actualy know their high days were around These Days, and they actualy try to comply with your relentless demands, weird ha?

But it seems some will never get satisfied; no matter how Richie manipulates his guitar or no matter how the band tries to get back to its old sound, some dudes around here will always have something to complain about, they'll maybe get satified once Jovi make a Metallica album, or what? even then i reckon the complaining dudes will have something to wine about.

Get it over with already, The circle is a decent album; the percussion-guitar build up in Superman Tonight and the ''comn now''s towards the end of brokenpromiseland are enough for me to call this album good material.

For what it's worth, I wasn't going to post because I actually still love the album and it's been played to death because of learning songs. I have to add though that everyone has a right to say they don't feel anything for it and if the reasons behind why you think it's a decent album are restricted to those you listed, perhaps you are just easily pleased.

It has a lot more to offer IMO, which is why I really like it but what sounds good to one person's ear doesn't to another's. Maybe it'll grow on some listeners, maybe it won't but being able to discuss topics like this is what makes this board better than BSWJBJ. If you see it as whining, don't read these topics.

It will probably grow on you after this is what you said a few weeks ago:

1. WWWB and WFTWM are horrible.
2. Fast Cars and Live Before You Die are boring.
3. Shala Shala and Halle Halle are gay.

Those are it.

Yep, you can count me in too. Though I admit it's not a bad album, it doesn't do it for me. I don't like it.

I agree with that. Seems like some people here try to purposely find a fault with the band. They did change their first single, because of the fans and that wasn't good enough, even though all the bitching here is aimed to make the band do exactly that.
