I've been out all day and just catching up now!

So as I enjoy this album, I'll add my overall 2 cents. Not a formal review, just a way to respond to all posts.

Interesting album to say the least. I know I'm in the minority here but I really think this is their best post 2K album. After getting the same album for the past 15 years in a row, this is a breath of fresh air. It's not as overproduced as past releases. Well a few are but some are just perfect.

I think this is Jon and John's ways of redeeming themselves.

I have a whole new respect for Shanks as a song writer and guitar player. We wouldn't have this type of album if Richie was still in the picture. And now I'm even more excited to hear the next one which is supposed to be even better. I've always stated that Richie leaving was a necessary event to shake things up a bit and I've wanted another solo album from Jon for a while now. However, I do think that after this next 2016 album, I'll be ready for Richie return.

I really don't have too many negatives yet. Not until I digest the rest of the album at least. The only thing is, I'm actually a little disappointed in the title track. I was hoping for an opening verse over an opening chorus with a little more record company bashing. However it's still a fun & catchy song that makes you want to drive fast with the windows down like Becky stated.

I agree with everyone's comments on Die For and Fingerprints.

The Whooaaa's are interesting too. I'm not sure if it's something that they wanted to add to A song but just failed to get it right so they stuck them on this album or if it's a way to tie the album together.

All three songs are so different. Upbeat rocker, county, and darker ballad type song. Maybe by adding the Whooaaa's to all three, it enables them to fit the album theme like CaptJovi stated.
