I've tried and tried it again over the years, but I just don't start liking the album in any way. There are some decent tunes, but the best one (I'm With You) is hindered by probably the worst production on any Jovi release (or in fact any release at all).

As james_d so rightly said, it sounds unfinished. Like songs that weren't developed past their demo stage and not nearly ready for a release. Box Set material with loads of overproduction added to them.

Even though I'm not a great fan of Burning Bridges or This House, I still find myself listening to those albums occasionally and enjoying them.
But WAN just lacks on all fronts: lyrics get cringeworthy too often even for Jovi standards, musically it's bland and uninspired and there's no flow in there from at least song 7 or so onwards. It all blends into one big mash-up.

To quote Jon from the HoF: This is the album where the shit hits the fan
