I might be wrong here, but reading your post you're making it sound as if Bon Jovi's THINFS has deep layers and needs to be put into the right context in order to enjoy it? What context might that be?
The album is just very bland, there's no depth to the lyrics, it's just a bunch of cliches strung together and then Jon subsequently pretending to be some poet during the promo's by saying there's a lot going on in the lyrics. Clearly loads of fans fall for that nonsense and actually believe the bullshit he comes up with, but the absolute lack of emotion on the album, both in the lyrics and in the music winds up killing the album completely.
Salaam Aleikum,
