I too think it's too bad that this album didn't have more "legs" and that it is going away so quickly. I think for many fans outside the US and those that went to London this record is going to be like TD was for us in America, something we only get a glimpse of occasionally and always get left wanting more. TD has been out for fifteen years and I've seen just a handful of the songs live in that time. I hope ya'll don't have to wait that long for Circle songs.

Their best record post-TD. Unfortunately it failed. No one cared after WWBTF.
2009 was the year of the 25th anniversary, it was the right time for the GH

If it was a "comeback" record I'm pretty sure it would be a big hit.

Best regards,
the Sexx

I am glad they won't be playing 6-7 songs from this album every night!

After KTF, there isn't a single album where it's worth to play more than 4 songs from, per concert.

i really like TC.
Its the most consistant album since TD and I dont skip half of it like most the latter albums.
I only dislike 1 on the TC (Bullett)

It was a good album, and in parts simply outstanding. The pairing of Brokenpromisland / LTOR is up there with anything they've ever done for me.

But, and there's always a but there's a few stinkers on there that brought it from being superb to just good. Bullet, Live Before You Die, and Fast Cars break the flow up and are skippers.

the reason why it probably didnt do was well as it should was the single choices.
OK WWBTF is a typical Jovi song but they should have released TIMS or BPL so people know what Jovi can sound like.

WFTWM and ST were poor choices in that they are album fillers not killer. They start off way to slow.

I've said it a million times, the first single was a terrible choice. It was just too safe.

I have friends who aren't into Bon Jovi but they always feel the need to critique their output. They all panned WWBTF, saying it was just too dull. I played them LTOR, they loved it and seemed confused as to why it wasn't released.

The first single will always give people an impression of the overall album, that's why it sold poorly.

Absolutely love this album and I'm really disappointed/pissed that I'll be lucky to get a couple of songs from it by the time they hit Australia and then never again. Very...very...

my mates are the same. Casual fans but they have hated every single since after IML.

They love songs like Hook Me Up and TIMS and have wondered why Jovi never release stuff like this? I look at them blankley as I wonder the same thing myself!

This has been happening for years though. This band seem to have no clue anymore about what songs work as singles and it's really destroying how well the albums do.
