It clearly shows that Jon had nothing to write about. Then came the first show, and it started with: Bad Name, LH and WLOL. No acoustic set anymore, with Wild is the Wind just thrown in there. The whole thing felt just like a cash grab quickly put together.
I have the same feeling about this next album.

WAN is the album that was forced on the band by Jon in order to stay top of the tour earners list and (attempted) buying of that American Football team.
It’s a huge reason why Richie left/was fired/fell off wagon as he wasn’t mentally ready.
The album has some good songs but thrown together. You can tell that as it includes Jon’s (awful) solo stuff and Richie’s to pad it out.
