[QUOTE=steel_horse75;1265280]There loads of slow ones on 2020 from what we know...
Unbroken
Do what you can
Lower the flag
The token ballad
American reckoning

Not what I want in a Bon Jovi Album 5 slow songs. And Where is the guitar? I know it's not the 80's/90's but still. Interesting to see if fans stick around for the next album knowing Jon's vocal limitations and lack of rock songs nowadays.

I will. I did buy What About Now! Fans can't dispute Jon's songwriting, it's just his lack of power in his voice, which prevents a song from which is OK from to being great.

This is hooey. We don't even know how Do What You Can will sound, not even a snippet of Lower the Flag and the token ballad isn't a thing and we don't even know if AR will make the proper album.

Pretty par for the course for a bunch of releases since 2010 to be honest, especially for a song not being promoted as a big lead off single.

God damn those 8 long minutes
Laying face down in cuffs on the ground
Bystanders pleaded for mercy
As one cop shoved a kid in the crowd
When did a judge and a jury
Become a badge and a knee
On these streets

Stay alive, stay alive
Shine a light, stay alive
Use your voice and you remember me
American reckoning

I'll never know what it's like
To walk a mile in his shoes
And I'll never have to have the talk
So it don't happen to you

Three little words written across the chest
Of a 12-year-old who hasn't lived life yet
Am I next
Am I next

Stay alive, stay alive
Shine a light, stay alive
Use your voice and you remember me
American reckoning

Is this a moment or movement
Is this the tide or a flood
Is our American reckoning
Our story written in blood
Or in love
Or in peace

Stay alive, stay alive
Shine a light, stay alive
Use your voice and you remember me

Stay alive, stay alive
Shine a light, stay alive
Use your voice and you remember me
American reckoning
In our American reckoning
Wow. Those are great lyrics. Jon managed to write something sincere and with depth about a hard subject matter. He still got it.

Token ballad is another way of saying the regular ballad on the album,. We're assuming the album will have a ballad on it because all of the others have for the most part.

In this case, the ballad appears to be The Story of Love, which is expected to be slow in tempo.

Thanks for the clarification Adam. I thought it could be a new bonus track or something like that.

I don't think it's ever been confirmed what the tempo of Story of Love is. I could see it being mid-tempo though.
