But it's also that I don't feel any excitement from the band members. No tweets, no short video clips of Jon, no radio interviews or anything like that. Before the release of THINFS, there was much more in terms of him going into deeper conversations with radio hosts and talking about how he worked off his demons on that record. That made me feel connected.
Everythime I see him these days, there's a bottle of wine in the clip.

Pretty much this.
Perfectly summed up.
The fact they wouldn't wait for David to be available to film the album still really pisses me off but I also think it shows how much David probably isn't fussed about the new material either. If it were me I'd be like - you're waiting for me.
I honestly don't think David and Tico had any input (maybe even played) on the album.
A BJ album has never been so JBJ heavy. Its literally Jon on cover, out of the videos there's only one with the band and even then they are blurred in the background, jon only on the merch and he wrote 8/10 songs which isn't good given his last efforts.
From the lyrics we've seen they dont inspire me I just think is this really what Bon Jovi have become?
Yes I love the old stuff but I dont want NJ2 or SWW2 - I'd even take WAN2 at this time. There's just nothing about 2020 that remotely grabs me.
This is the first album I'm not buying day of release. Ill wait for Spotify and if I like 3 of the tracks we havent heard ill consider myself lucky and buy it when it goes on sale.
Seen a few people say this could be the album that finishes the band and I agree. Apart from the people who love everything they do (twitter is full of Jovi freaks) the people who didn’t like/buy the last few albums won’t be queueing up to buy this either.
I’m not being negative but I’m just gutted what this band have become now. It’s horrible when a band you love release stuff you no longer like. Finger crossed the remaining tracks are great.
