Man, I just can't stop listening to Lower The Flag..

It's one of the deepest and most emotional Bon Jovi songs I've ever heard. The acoustic guitars, the humming parts, the synths.. Everything about this song is just perfect!

Bon Jovi is back!

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.

The way these files were labeled it looked ripped from the cd. I honestly think if it came from the organization it wouldn't be the day before.

I go back and forth about the Aftermath leak. Hand to heart I honestly believe it was a giant factor in it selling the way It did. Putting up the entire album months ahead of release did it zero favours. If that's the method to marketing ya want, a free EP would have done the same. From what I recall I had access to the SoundCloud roughly a month before it got out because no one found it until the title of the album was released and it was a simple Google search at that point. I really think Phil didn't know his SoundCloud wasn't set to private.

Ok, that makes sense. I never thought of that. And in this case, you're right; it does seem to be those who got the album earlier than others, either because of pre-orders or time zone differences, or something.

Based on the feedback I'm reading from this album and the last, I feel that most of the standout tracks are the ones Jon writes himself.

There weren't as many on the last album but I do remember fans thinking Living With The Ghost was a standout track.

I think Unbroken fits perfectly at the end of the album, appreciates the song much more now!
