Bon Jovi "Fan Album": Burning Bridges- Out 21 Aug

Difficult to judge on 30 second snippets, but first listen feels like JBJ ouput, not Bon Jovi.

Was hoping for some rock songs but sounds like the remaining album will be heavily acoustic.

I don't think anyone should judge this album too much, nothing on here was intended for release and its simply a contractual album. If there are a couple of good tracks then great, if bar WDR and Teardrop its pure rubbish, so be it. Its just nice to get new material to tied us over until the proper album next year. Its more than anyone thought we'd get in 2015 so its a nice surprise.

I'll take the optimist in me. After my great disappointment to discover that this is a pop album as crush, I'll try to take the positive side of this.


1 A Teardrop to the Sea - I love this track.
2 We Don’t Run - Good but missing guitars
3 Saturday Night Gave Me Sunday Morning - Classic Jovi post2000. Its ok, i like it.
4 We All Fall Down - I do not like, sounds very cheesy, these songs are those who hate.
5 Blind Love - Boring.
6 Who Would You Die For - Waiting to hear whole.
7 Fingerprints - Waiting to hear whole.
8 Life Is Beautiful - Crap.
9 Im Your Man - Sound like a Mick Jagger song, its ok.
10 Burning Bridges - It has a southern touch, I like that, it can be fun and cool.
11 Take Back The Night - ....?

Don't forget that months ago or even maybe a year ago we were promised deluxe editions of past albums etc...This was everywhere in the press and now this is just like nothing was said about this...really disappointing for real fans to learn that the band can't be trusted anymore and that they can change their mind because the release was a flop. ....what matters most music or money?

That's a black and white comment.

It cost money to be these releases together. It's not as simple as just opening the vault and picking songs. Even the box set needed to be completed.

Songs need to be a certain standard of quality and musicians don't come cheap.

These are not Jon's decisions, the record company has the control.

What is your obsession with Beautiful Day being on a Bon Jovi album? Jon didn't write it. The day it shows up on a regular Bon Jovi album is the day I drive to Tennessee, find the nearest gas station, and buy a lottery ticket because that's the day I'm going to win the power ball.

Although he did not write, fits this collection of songs.

Who Would You Die For reminds me of a song but I can't figure out which one! It's a new one, wasn't released before 2010 for sure I think.

Not a fan of the snippets but it'd be stupid to judge a song for only 30 seconds.

It doesn't fit at all, Beautiful Day screams "musical" all over. Is the typical song for a musical, the rest of the record doesn't.

I detest this comment.

Ignore it then

and...? still fits in this collection.

When will they release the song of Avici with JBJ? any idea?
