Upon first listen, I'm quite underwhelmed. Will wait for the proper quality release and a week of a few listens to make my final judgement.
Blood In The Water definitely is a good one, but many of the others feel like having dry cereals for breakfast.

3/10

Hard to give it a full rating as haven't listened to it fully in order. Has some fantastic songs, and some dreadful songs. I think it'll fit in somewhere near BB for me in terms of how much I like it overall.

As already said blood in the water best song since 95, quite like beautiful drug, lower the flag of the new ones. Even enjoyed American Reckoning and Do what you can, gonna give it a 7-. Best album since HAND for me

The best Bon Jovi Album since the 90's.

Jon sounds good. Praise to John Shanks on production.

Stand-out tracks:

Beautiful Drug,
Let it rain
Brother in Arms
Lower the flag:
Blood in the water: Successor to Dry County.

Also like DWYG, Limitless and AR.

8.5/10

I'm actually quite curious to see how the album feels with the original tracklist.

besides dwyc i can almost enjoy every song on the album that's very rare in modern jovi
still far from perfect but in terms of production,guitar sound/work etc... everything sounds a lot better than on the last jovi albums

Yeah once I got past Limitless and Do What You Can, it was quite enjoyable. It's an album that seems to take its time which isn't necessarily a bad thing. I have the feeling I may like it even more with the original tracklist. Time for Shine and Luv Can to leak

I'm sorry, but a new Bon Jovi studio album deserves a proper rating thread, with a 5- or 10-point scale, where we can have actual discrepancy; and compare it historic ratings on other albums. I'll make one in a moment.

I Just wanna say that Unbroken fits fantastic at the end of the album. Much better song within the context and Flow.
