Thanks for putting it into words, that's exactly what's been bothering me for years by now. There sound lacks identity. Bon Jovi used to have a characteristic sound and that's all gone. I didn't mind in 2013 and 2015 because that was sort of a transition phase, but I had been expecting for them to either regain some of it or find a new identity with the current line-up. I was sad to see this year that none of both has happened.
In fact, I've seen three different cover/tribute bands in the past years who've had more of the "Bon Jovi identity" to their sound than Bon Jovi these days.
