True. But even so, they are far from the rock. You look to Foo Fighters for example, they also touch things pop, rock, hard rock and grunge, which feels like a real rock band, like Bon Jovi in the nineties, you know. Best of You or The Pretender are songs that Bon Jovi could have done in the nineties or even early 2000, now Jon does not bother to do energetic things with powerfull guitars and big hooks. The music of recent years does not feel so good, it's not great jovi music, and no feel big.
I would be happy with a new direction, something with more guitars, they have always done some good songs, do not misunderstand me. Why in an album must have many pop songs and ballads, and only 2 rock songs?
I want an album starts with 3 songs that feels rocking, then a part-time well done, and come back with something strong, then drop a couple of songs with risky structure and some powerful ballad ..... and the final stretch of the album with energic songs and rock n roll.
They still can do something as Just Older, Neurotica, Have a Nice Day, Undivided, Dirty Little Secret, I'm Your Man, I Could Make A Living Out Of Lovin 'You ..... come on!, no more boring songs like What About Now or We All Fall Down.
I'm not asking SWW part II. Just a real rock album.
