If you play a song verbatim, the studio version should always sound better then the live by the law of music. If the live version sounds better than the studio, there is a problem.

Imo, that's the problem with WAN. I really feel that that album could be semi decent with a better production. These robotic vocals need to go.

Bon Jovi albums are the same as movies that rely on special effects to carry it. I'm not sure why they think Ebin and Shanks need to be the producers of choice.
