That said.... the reaction of some to the new single is just off. It's a single that was designed for mass consumption and it does work whether you like it or not. You simply cannot hold BWC up and compare it to past work or use it to gauge the album. It's been designed to get lodged in the brain of anyone that is within earshot of it. The chorus is repetitive with the melody of the chorus done instrumentally twice. It's a commercial jingle that's been engineered for a world with a ridiculously short attention span and it has achieved that goal. It obviously does not reflect the album anymore than WWBTF reflected The Circle.

So sometimes hate this band. They should leave that shit and come out with a winning rock song.
Foo Fighters is a great example, they make great songs for radio and stadium.
The Pretender
Walk
Rope
This time like these
Best of You
Wheels
I miss the artistic quality of a Bon Jovi song, I miss the real rock, there are many ways to sell a great album. But they have to show their true talent, and I think that has been lost.
Afterman of The Lowdown not a perfect album, but it's an honest album, and there are rock songs. With John Shanks reach this level is impossible.
