And yes I have Aftermath, and theres some moments of brilliance just like there is on any new Jovi record, and a lot of so-so tracks. It wasn't the epic everyone who had been waiting for a new Richie record for ten years expected or hoped it would be. Worse, for me, some of those songs didn't sound like Richie songs at all, I lost believability with it. At least whatever Bon Jovi make, they sound like Bon Jovi songs.

Well I believe that doesn't make richie incapable. Regarding the record, I wasn't expecting much and I got less than what I expected. I still believe it's better than the latest BJ efforts though.

You could be spot on with the confidence though. I think he'll get it. It took awhile on The Circle tour too. Maybe he just needs a crowd that aren't bringing their knitting to a show.

I believe if the still had the voice, even with the direction his music is taking, the songs would be huge, much better than the ones we have.
