After 2 listens (don't know if I'll be able to listen to it again all the way through
): 4
Up until Labour of Love, I was pretty psyched on the first run, but then it got very boring. Few thoughts:
- Lots of 'Story of my life' pop-rock junk type songs (in Jon's words). They aren't bad if you like that type of song, I agree with Last Man Standing Jon
- There is not one outstanding song. We don't run is the best IMO. Personally I found 2 or 3 on WAN, but then again I love Jon's acoustic songs. At least we had IWY, which we would all agree on.
- Lots of medio-tempo Bounce-like songs. First time round was enough..
- The only 'something different' factor can be found on We don't run and Born Again Tomorrow (sound-wise).
- A lot of lazy Shanks guitar work. Burning Bridges had some great work...what happened
- Brilliant Born Again Tomorrow solo by Phil. A few other highlights cut short guitar-wise.
- Same old simplistic lyrics, don't see where people are getting the vibes from
.
It could actually be the first time I don't buy a Jovi record and the first time I don't go and see them live if they come to Spain.
Hope I change my mind
