The new song musically is average and subpar for Bon Jovi, but lyrically is very powerful and during a time like this it’s great Bon Jovi is taking time to recognize the current state of America with a new song. Overall an average song maybe better than unbroken

I'm liking the song, similar to Do What You Can in terms of enjoyment. Can completely understand why some don't like it, if it isn't to their taste etc, but it's a good song in my opinion. Like others have said, some of the best lyrics Jon's written in a while.

The harmonica is the best. Feeling that it will fit very well into the album.

Switch a couple lyrics and change "Skin" to "Reckoning" and it's the same song.

Without doubt it’s Jon trying to be Bruce or Dylan.
Why couldn’t this song have a Undivided vibe - nope, has to be slow again.

Probably because that's the only way he can manage to sing the song.

That would involve the band. Now Bon Jovi is just about Jon.

JBJ: “I was moved to write American Reckoning as a witness to history” “I believe the greatest gift of an artist is the ability to use their voice to speak to issues that move us.”
BJ: "American Reckoning will also be on the band’s forthcoming Fall album Bon Jovi 2020 which takes a critical view of this staggering and historic year."

Musically is a bit bland for me now but I guess it'll grow with more listens. I love the harmonica solo!!!

So the delay has given us two extra songs already. Cool.

Yeah, and if that October 2 date is finally confirmed, then a new single to promote the album could happen in August.
