What I can judge is the production and the first verse which is nothing but pure shit. I'm sure listening to These Days today definitely didn't help things however this is just "another one of those songs"...
It's We Don't Run, meets Knockout, meets Beautiful World, meets The More Things Change, meets Walls...
I don't mind these songs as fillers, bonus tracks, etc but this should not be leading the album...
Shanks and Jovi have zero chemistry. Even when I go back to HAND, when Jon still had some natural talent left in him, I still never dug Shanks production... Considering Jon spent 3 days in the studio (or a very limited time), I get why he still uses the guy but this is just terrible...
No substance, no depth, and zero emotion from Jon...
I think the vocals are done in one take and then they just do anything with them after that... Slow them down, speed them up, filter the tone, take about bad notes, change the pitch etc.
I just don't get it.

Pretty much this. Let be honest this band shouldve called it a day years ago or changed its name to Jon Bon Jovi which it pretty much is.
Its not just Jovi - Pearl Jam have just released another track from their forthcoming album and all their die-hards are not impressed - said it sounds like it took them 5 minutes to write and that the albums are full of songs that will be forgotten after one listen.
