This House Is Not For Sale (2016) - Post First Single Release Album Discussion

Roller Coaster Snippet with completed chorus... An Extra 15 seconds...

I promised myself I wouldn't go crazy this time trying to complete as many snippets as possible... It's just wasted time but I might just do a few of my favorites... I might add more onto this later and include a few more...

I don't get the criticism of "Rollercoaster" Jon's voice is OK.

It isn't made to sound better than it is, because of course Jon could not sing it live, if it was!

I totally agree... People got used to hearing it one way, which is live, and now they can't adjust to the studio version...

The nice thing is, you gotta choice... Live and Studio... Cause at the end of the day, you pick what you like and that's all that matters...

When I burnt a copy of TLFR for my car, I mixed it with Studio and Live versions (my favorites at that time) and it worked... Same thing here... Mix it up

Yes, if some fans hate the production of THINFS, they have the live version. Personally I like both. On the Album, to me Jon sounds natural no gimmicks in trying to sing higher if he can't do that anymore, some may demand more of him. I haven't listen to the Album in full as of yet ( not released of course), but like what I hear.

Some may hate it, but let's face it Jon is getting older and asking him to vocally produce a album like the past is too unrealistic.

THINFS renewed my faith in Bon Jovi after WAN, yes not vocally great if you are looking for a higher pitched voice.......but not bad for an aging singer with a shot singing voice.

Now if Jon could release a devil in a temple type songs(s) on future album(s) I will be happy!

I am giving THINFS a 4/5. Sets the standard for the future album(s). And to me best overall Album since These Days, not vocally but lyrically.

Keep in mind, these electronic vocals are how music is made in 2016... I think with enough time between between tracks, Jon could put out a decent studio vocal without the need for the electronics...

I agree, he still sounds good for his age, despite all the damage to his voice.

I think that have John Shanks as a musician on tour will be good for future albums, since he could improve the sound of their albums. I hope he realizes that live sound is better than on the album, and the next album, working in a more balanced sound and better.

Obviously late to the party. Just had a chance to listen to the snippets. I'm guessing it's been said, but Real Love is just a reworking of Blind Love correct?

Of the snippets, Living With The Ghost, The Devils in the Temple, God Bless This Mess, New Years Day, All Hail The King sound good.

Rollercoaster sounds horrible. Reunion sounds like a Lost Highway demo. Scars..., Come on Up..., Real Love probably won't even be on my Ipod.

I've liked THINFS from the beginning. Knockout is OK. Labor of Love has grown on me. Born Again Tomorrow is good as well.

Have to wait until I hear all the songs complete, but it seems to be an improvement on WAN.

BTW, has the album leaked yet?

Not of as yet.
