I've rated more new songs a 10 in this past year or so, than in the last 16 years.

The people stuck in the 80s/90s will continue to bash the new stuff regardless how good it is, which is understandable, but truth is, everything released from 2015 til now is some of the best stuff I've heard from them in a long, long time. Who knows, this album might be their last one, try and enjoy it!

Like it better than the first two upon the initial listen. I really like THINFS now, and think Knockout is at least tolerable, so high hopes for Labor of Love. (7.5)

Great song. Good melody, good vocals, cozy atmosphere, darkness, five minutes´ long without boring, good arranges,...
I don´t know what some people are looking for in the wishing well...
Just come to reality, and it´s easy to realize this is a good song; not superb, but...

An 8 for me.

Me too... Perfectly stated and I agree that this along with BB is the best music we've had since These Days... Not comparable as an album but there is something deeper going on here

There is no formulated reason why I like certain / most songs... And sometimes the littlest thing can make me love a song... I read everyone's comments how a song lacks this and that... Every other post is about a ****ing guitar even though it's 2016... But everyone is so fixated on everything a song lacks and I see it as the opposite which is what a song can bring... People are also so quick to compare too... The song sounds like this and that and for that reason I love or hate it...

Just listen to the song as the original piece of work that it is and find the parts you like....

A certain artist can make or break a song... The way an artist sings a song can make or break a song (If Bad Name was released in 2016, it would go down as the worst song in history)... The production of a song can make or break a song...

This song has great mood, has passion, it's different, it's catchy, and it's believable just the way Teardrop is... I listened to Knockout maybe 10 times since its release.. I've been listening to this song nonstop since last night and it just keeps going...

You know, if you listen to other artists on occasion and shuffle the new tracks in, they usually hold up longer

I do and I agree...

BWC came on while I was shopping at Lowe's a few months back and it sounded as fresh as ever... Fit right in with everything else being played

Well that sounded nothing like anything I was expecting.

Completely different mood for a Bon Jovi song, and I love the production and that sultry guitar. Like a few have said I think the lyrics of the chorus could be better, but I can live with that. The more I listen to it the more I'm liking it.

Really enjoying this one and more importantly, when I consider we still have 15 more songs to go, I think this could be a very interesting album.

I'll give this one an eight.

Some people on here are 'complaining' about a lack of a solo at the end or wherever...I've got a feeling there will be other songs on the album with extended solos - and too much of a good thing can also be negative. Don't forget this is 2016 and not 1986. So let's enjoy what we've got, wait for the surprises and what's coming our way VERY soon. I gave it a 7 to begin with but now that's turned into an 8.
