2020: The New Album

facaXe · #**5031** 10-01-2020, 01:35 PM

Beautiful Drug and Lower The Flag are my favourites!

Spoiler:

The middle part of Lower The Flag where Jon counts up the school shootings gave me instant chills and got me really emotional.

I'm pleasently surprised about this album, didn't expect there would be so much fantastic guitar work in it.

It HAS TO reach #1 in the charts.

I think this time leak can help band to sell more copies of this album in first week

ps. Shanks is like Desmond Child with his hook from "you were a woman/bad name". He use similar sound in start of HAND, THINFS and now BDrug..

Don't think it worth it...
Still thinking about which version to buy and where. I might just order the basic version from the official Bon Jovi shop, they ship to everywhere.

its half that using CDJapan that others are using plus postage, not bought from them before but as others are its suggest they are ok.
I was holding off to see what additional versions get released worldwide before jumping.

This IS an album!

I have been impressed listening to the snippets one week ago and now that I can listen to the full album (already pre-ordered on iTunes and Amazon) I can honestly say that this is probably one of their greatest records.

Full, felt, played, the whole band can be heard!

Blood in the Water is maybe the masterpiece of the record, but now I can say that I really enjoyed the other tracks, including the slower ones. It is impressing the solo of Story of Love, the spoken part in Lower the Flag, the energy of Let it Rain, the 80’s feeling of Brothers in Arms.

Probably this record includes all the Bon Jovi sounds of their career, remaining a solid Rock record!

Who said Bon Jovi are dead, or at least Jon, is totally wrong! This record needs to be performed and should have success because it deserves it all.
F**k Limitless, the worst song in the record, a total filler which doesn’t fit in this 2020 album!

Have you noticed the similarities with Story Of Love?

And not even in really prominent places and well trafficked torrent sites. By the time it hits THOSE the album will be just about out.

I'm not justifying any of that, it's just....pretty good timing I guess!

I'm still not convinced that it isn't intentional. Another way to promote the album, maybe, or create a buzz? I know it seems counterintuitive; but my guess is that they know the people who are diligent enough to seek out the leaks are hard-core fans who either pre-ordered or intend to buy the album when it's released anyway. So maybe they don't see it as harming sales.

Even in Richie's case, the leak was a Soundcloud post from his buddy Phil Cassens, if I'm not mistaken. Hard to believe that wasn't intentional.

Let It Rain is ok, the voice is too amplified in the mix.

Why did Jon use the same words (protests in the street) for American Reckoning and Lower The Flag?

I feel like American Reckoning fits best as a bonus track at the end of the album, with Unbroken.

Ok... I'll bite... can someone send me a link?

How's the quality? Is it worth waiting until the CD is in my hands tomorrow?

I hope. We need these albums to sell. This is what stopped the Special Editions after the New Jersey rerelease.

I wouldn't necessarily call this a leak in a traditional sense being that it's the day before. A leak to me means someone from the inside put it out there. Its standard that new CDs hit stores a day or two before so they can stock shelves.

In my opinion, this is just file sharing a new album.
