I have no idea, I was excited for it but it was delayed so many times that I just really don't care anymore.

Here's my opinion on these songs and where they come from.

After TC, Jon did mention that he might possibly be doing another solo album. He also mentioned that it would be an acoustic style type album. I think that's what this is and where most of these songs are from, especially the second half of the album.

I think Jon planned on doing a simple acoustic style album with songs like "Blind Love" in his home studio. That's when he was doing 'The Stand Up Guy' tracks of which some of these songs could be part of that session too. Jon might have had a bunch of songs in different stages and then scrapped the idea for WAN.

With the exception of We Don't Run, SNGMSM, maybe Teardrop, and a few others, most of this album is what was supposed to be Jon's third solo album between TC and WAN.

I also made a comment that some of these songs sound like they were written for movies and I wouldn't be surprised if Jon did get his hands on another script in between that time too.

It's just a combination of a few things that Jon was working on that was never completed. That's why Jon doesn't know what to call these songs. They aren't old enough or weren't completed enough to be considered "vault" tracks.

Unused songs by the band is the same as guest appearances by band members? I guess the Pink song Richie played a solo on would fit the collection as well then?

What are you even talking about? The band didn't do any of that stuff. Absolutely money is more important to a business.

My thoughts:

We All Fall Down - The melody is nice, the lyrics make me want to drive nails into my skull. The conspiracy guy in me notices how close the melody is to What About Now, and both have "Stand up and be proud".

Who Would You Die For - Ahhhh. What the hell. This is....left field quirky.

Fingerprints - Really interesting to hear how it's almost 6 minutes. Love the time signature.

Life is Beautiful - This one seems the blandest of the new samples. Is that Dave singing with Jon again?

I'm Your Man - Mid tempo fun. That chorus will get stuck in my head. Definitely hear some Teles in there, sounds like Crush-era mixed with current radio.

Burning Bridges - THIS is the kind of stuff I was waiting for. I'm absolutely loving this one, the tip of the hat to Wanted Dead or Alive was a nice touch.

I don't know, I'm baffled. This sounds like such an un-band album. Or a mix of Jon solo and band. It's a completely new sound if it's a band album that preludes the next one. The lyrics aren't even as bad as past releases which leads me to think it really was Jon's proposed solo album with tracks like Amen and The Fighter replaced with some newer songs.

Zero uptempo rockers until a new song got added. Out of left field songs, different styles, the return of love songs. We were begging for something different and a serious change and this is it. It just wasn't the change a lot of people were expecting.

Flop or fail, this is in This Left Feels Right territory, it's going to divide a LOT of fans, and a I don't know how much the label pushed Jon into this but I'm glad they did.

It's a Bon Jovi album with songs JBJ solo, some sound like soundtracks, and beautiful day fits into that damn collection, because Jon is the singer and Shanks the producer. I do not care was a musical, I do not care that it was written by others. We dont run is very diferent of blind love, and are in the album.

It's. Not. Happening. Move on. The band doesn't put songs written for other projects on these things.

I'm just saying it could be. Remember Old Habits and Not Running, Every Road from What About Now special edition. The Boys are back in town from New Jersey?

Jon wrote those songs. A member of the band wrote Every Road. Your example holds no weight because, again, Jon didn't write Beautiful Day. The song stylistically doesn't fit the vibe of this album and again Jon didn't write it. Even if it DID fit, it's just a song Jon sang on for a soundtrack. You're obsessed.
