Other scars and cracks are the subject of "God Bless This Mess", which begins as Jon acapella -Stück: "I got some blood under my nails, I got some mud on my face," he sings, and together with the band goes its report even further - the voice is gone, the hair turns gray, the muscles hurt. And while many simply hope to survive a storm, others just go in such situations: This is the mess that Bon Jovi celebrate here because they are not alone, they can rely on each other

The voice is gone? Does this refer to Jon's misuse of his voice? Hence, he struggles to sing out of his comfort zone? No more high vocal songs? Well if you followed them since TD, the fan already knows this. Nice for Jon to acknowlege his voice problems and growing older....

If fans needed confirmation, Jon's happy with his current voice. Sad, but I am OK with that, I accept Jon as a mid 50's guy, and accepting this stage of his life.

Album titles seem promising compared to WAN.
