Im glad they are doing something different on this album. While I liked Crush and thought Bounce was ok, Im glad they are taking a different path and not producing another mediocre Luke Ebbin produced pop rock album that the majority of people here wont like much.

I like the way it seems to be turning out with this album. All the time, people say Bon Jovi are little more than an 80's hair band that should "go back to the eighties" . I think they are better musicians than people give them credit for and they are capable of producing quite a diverse range of music. They've shown this though their solo projects and more mature sounding albums like These days and in a way, Crush. Bounce didn't really take the band in any new direction IMO like These Days did so Im really hoping for a surprise with this new album. I hope it shows the band at their most creative but still has that BJ sense of fun about it. Whatever it turns out to be, I just hope its good and proves that the band havn't dried up their creativity. I know they still have it, I just hope they prove it with this album and they can still produce great music that doesn't have that "radio friendly" sound.
