2020: The New Album

You're probably right

The ending of Story of love gets me everytime - its fantastic! The album is still very much played and the run from tracks 4-10 is very good.
American reckoning is much better than Shine but does not sit well in spot #3.
The two new songs(AR, DWYC) also do have a lesser production and Jovis voice filteret to death. Love the production on tracks 4 to 9

Agreed about the production, though the production on Limitless is even worse IMO.

But the outro solo in Story Of Love is nice, but sub-par to Fingerprints for me. After a while it gets too repetitive and/or has some notes in and tone to it that just doesn't feel perfect. Still enjoyable though...

Its not music.

Sounds like it could be unsold copies of What About Now and 2011 calendars...

Well, in a way I'm glad he didn't put out unreleased songs just for the wealthy as exclusive, I mean, this would only be made available to a small group of privileged, not for all the fans who love the band and their music. So I guess those unreleased songs will be released when the right time comes with a plan where all fans can to buy these songs, with a supposed to be a worldwide release where all fans are involved and at a reasonable price.

If include any disc with music, it will be a show from the THINFS Tour, maybe Wembley 2019 or something like that.

Of all the fan releases Bon Jovi has released, 100,000,000 Bon Jovi Fans Can't Be Wrong is the best.

Paying 100 dollars for a good box set with a lot of unreleased material would be a fair price if there are more than 4 discs, but must be unreleased songs from the vaults. With a good finish of photographs and others. The problem is if it's not linked to a "big-selling album" like a SWW special edition or something like that, I don't think it's going to be a massive seller, only fans would buy this. And lately we are not many.

Another option is to release several EPs in digital format throughout the year, and at the end of the year, through the fan club, to be able to acquire a copy in physical format of these EPs in one Box with a photo book.


I really don't know how they are going to launch a box set in the next few years, it still remains a mystery. But I don't think it's through only the fan club, as it wouldn't be a massive sell-off.

A box set with unreleased songs will get some attention if Richie is on several tracks

$100 for a box set while only 3 years after It's My Life though. Though it had no promo, the New Jersey re-release tanked. Go digital, no production overhead. Richie sold off his publishing so I don't think he would be part of this equation but there's a small loyal audience that will pay for the stuff digitally, there's not enough of us to warrant a physical product. Just my opinion though. Or do it digital and have a higher priced physical product that's limited edition.

Which other "fan releases" are there - Burning Bridges? Yeah, it's got more great stuff on it than Burning Bridges, but not more than New Jersey. Unless you count the already released stuff as "new" (Always, Saturday Night...).
