2020: The New Album

I listen to a few regularly. The rest I skip.

Blood In The Water
Luv Can
Let It Rain
Beautiful Drug

I listen to them four a fair bit but the rest I either listen too a couple of times or skip.

It's not gone up in my estimations with time at all.

If the catchiest songs on the album aren't selling, it's not like Blood in the Water is going to sell copies to the mass public.

I think it's time that we accept that the amount of people interested in a new Bon Jovi album is very limited. They are now 100% the notalgia act that Jon never wanted to be. Aside from the more dedicated fans, people only want to hear Prayer, Bad Name, etc....it had to happen sooner or later and to be honest I believe it's been that for a while, they were just able to hide it with the "No. 1" albums that weren't really No. 1 albums...

Dry County didn't succeed as a single when the band was almost at it's peak in Europe. What makes you think Blood in the Water would do any better when it's fanbase is much much much muuuuuch lower?

I do agree Beautiful Drug has a better shot. But I think Thinny is right, no matter what they put out it's an uphill battle to live up to the name and the hits. Releasing lowest common denominator singles has always been the norm and if those don't work, it's not like the deep album cuts will save the day. I'd love to see them take chances and try but if the poppier stuff doesn't land why should they?

68,000 copies world wide. That’s savage.

On a side note I’ve not listened to the album for about a month. I’ll go back to it at some point. Still like Blood in the water, Luv Can and Lower the flag.

Just too many other albums with songs I like a lot more to listen to. Really into the new Bruce album and looking forward to this Friday with new Ac/DC I got the ltd edition picture vinyl coming. I was also lucky enough to get the record store day release of Skid Rows 1991 classic Slave to the Grind on double Red vinyl with 4 bonus tracks. So that is on heavy rotation. New Foo fighters song is decent as well.

Loving the new Bruce album too. Currently got Queen live on in the car though giving it a blast. Must say, love the Foo Fighters but not into Shame Shame yet.
