I guess everyone is looking forward to a boxset next right. "A man spends his whole life waitin', prayin' for some big reward; it seems sometimes that payoff leaves ya' feelin' like a dirty whore." How spoiled will we get? Whereas this is like a gimme from the band, I'm more concerned with where they are headed in their future studio sessions.
Someone mentioned This Left... as more experimental...I think that's the idea, experimentation is good. In a way, This Left... could be the rebirth of the band, exploring new instruments or something, hopefully Bon Jovi return to their ass-kicking, story telling, arena rocking, ways that made them the international superstars who've sold 100 million records in 20 years. Personally I liked the idea of Crush, Its My Life, Just Older, One Wild Night, but I think the album was hijacked with fillers. Bounce was decent, Undivided, Everyday, Bounce, even Misunderstood, but was drowned by adult contemporary fillers. Even though this band has bombed it's last two albums, it's not over for them, they still have plenty of years before joining Celine Dion on the Vegas circuit. Bon Jovi need to stick to their guns, and maybe even produce the damn record themselves. To hell with Luke Ebbin and his band of merry poppy men.
So, what do you THINK the band will do next? Not what you WANT? Honestly, seeing their actions in the past four years, what will BON JOVI produce in-studio next?
