I seriously dont see any growth. Changes, yes, growth not.
I didnt comparre Jovi to Cave, I said I am out listening to Nick Cave instead.
I wouldnt care if the lyrics are bland but Jon Bon said he is a good songwriter and that his influences are Cohen, Waits etc. If I hear a line like 'get a ladder there is a cat out in the tree' I have to laugh. I dont judge BJ for putting out dumbed down lyrics, I judge Jon for pretending they are ART and SO much better (than they used to) which I absolutely disagree with.
