I don't feel the band/Jon puts their hearts into every new song they release. I feel like new junk albums are only released so that the band can tour again without being called a nostalgia act.

IMO there's no real difference between not releasing anything and touring and releasing junk and touring - it's for the same purpose as Panda mentioned in the other thread. 40,000 people don't flock to Soldier Field to hear Water Made Me, Because We Can or What About Now. To me - this makes the band a nostalgia act.

Their last big hit was It's My Life which was released THIRTEEN years ago. Was 'Who Says' even popular outside the US? Even that song is what...8 years old? <- That's nostalgia.

For the record my top 4 Bon Jovi albums are HAND, WAN, TC and LH. (I don't think the new stuff is junk but I know I'm in a tiny minority.)
