going back to the 80s rock music at their age and at this stage in their career would just be silly, imo. KTF/These Days should have been built upon (not copied/rehashed) instead of trying to be radio-friendly and modern with the post-2000 albums.

there are songs on the last few albums that show that they could do this if they wanted to, and that their song writing capability is not completely dead. however, they keep putting out safe, overproduced, too "live my life" generic-jovi albums that are stale and show no growth.

however you slice it, we just need something fresh - but i'd love something to be put out with more of a demo-feel to it...something that sounds like they said F-you to the radio and just wrote songs from the heart, recorded them, and that's that.
