I've put off writing any kind of review for the album until I had at LEAST two weeks to let it sink in. If anyone wants to read it, it's at http://tarotcardshark.livejournal.com/5441.html. my personal journal I don't write in all that much.

These Days had a different booklet with names and instruments written under the photo and since he is not in any picture he is not mentioned with them here. However, he is mention at the very beginning of the staff working on this recerd. Not now. We can't see him in the videos. Do they want to hide him or what???

I'm fed up with JBJ and the way he rules this band. This and all of the stuff around (ticket prices = writing lyrics they don't relate to) really spoil the quite good impression from the album. It's a nice change after Lost Highway. On the other hand, I can't see where you all get the optimism and enthusiasm. It's nothing groundbreaking, just Bon Jovi at their average, maybe better average (because their average was lowered too much...)

making a living playing bass for Bon Jovi, yea it's a hard luck life for Hughy.

I'm not happy. I'm more than happy for this new release, called The Circle. AMAZING album. For me is the best since These days. 50/50 with Crush I would say. I was very dissapointed with Lost highway cause there were some cool songs, but cmon..that is not what I want from Bonjo. Now I see the return to their roots without losing the new ideas and sounds they have been doing in Crush, Bounce and HAND.

I'm really happy and it's nice to see this band well and making great music. They seem a lot younger than they really are. That's perfect.

THANKS BON JOVI!

Ever thought this might be what Hugh actually wants?

When we met him on the Bounce tour he was quite happy because he could just go and run about the streets and do whatever - some of my friends were having breakfast with him - he couldn't do that if he was one of the "faces" of the band.

Plus Hugh doesn't have to do all the boring stuff like turning up for photoshoots, miming to music videos and that.

He's got it good.

I am loving this album. I'm getting a bit gutted I won't be seeing them this tour now. Damnit.

I'm really excited to see the first setlists from the tour. Just so I'll know what to expect when my show rolls around in April. I can't believe I'll be seeing them for the 4th time.

I'm actually liking this album more with every listen ... first time round I wasn't entirely sure, but the fourth time round I'm picking out some awesome stuff.

I'm writing my own all mattering review It'll probably take a while, but it will be worth it

Wait, are you saying you've heard the album only four times?
