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

My top 5:

1. I Will Drive You Home
2. The Devil's in the Temple
3. THINFS
4. Roller Coaster
5. Labor of Love

Excellent album overall.
The biggest surprise for me was Drive You Home. I suppose it speaks about Jon overcoming part of his insecurities, him being the "old gun" in town, with all these new shiny "drivers" that have come and gone during his career. We may like one or another, but we return to Bon Jovi each time, and they still deliver, are still relevant, still drive us home.

So, I just had a little while to enter to Tidal and watch the new video. It's good. But really good. I don't get why many are calling it pornographic as everything looks artistic. The only think that I didn't quite understood is the ending as it doesn't make sense with the song's lyrics.

I'm really proud the band and the label are finally promoting the album and it's songs the way it's supposed to. I thought these videos were going to suck but it seems they're putting some effort into this. Kudos.

Everything surrounding this album just feels great.

Here you have another source if you don't have Tidal: http://www.miaopai.com/show/sKHUDwIx...0kBy~dKA__.htm

It sounds OK on my phone but played loud through a sound bar, it has all kinds of pops etc.

Looking forward to higher quality.

Yeah, me too. But I can survive with this for a week. Just glad someone took the time to rip it and share it.

Maybe it'll sound way better once we have the lossless audio.

Nice interpretation!

The audio he uploaded is good to hear but of course doesn't have a great quality for two things, the first is that it was encoded using the WMA 9.2 codec that's pretty good (WMA 10 Pro isn't bad at all) and at a low bitrate 192 kbps.

Other sources, I believe, just converted it from the original one. Converting a low bitrate audio file to a higher bitrate audio file will just be using extra hard drive space in vain as the quality has already been lost when converted for the first time.

But Izar is in this forum, maybe he can put a little light into the situation. Maybe there's another source we don't know about. Still, in a few days we can grab our original copies. This album is worth every penny.

Adriano's copy was a bloated-up MP3 copy of the 192 kbit/s wma share. The frequency analysis was exactly the same. However, I heard a true 320kbit/s rip today and the sound quality is really a lot more enjoyable there

I am hoping to have the real thing next week

Dang that is one sad ass film clip. Watching it I was like, so the bloke is Peter Pan and never ages? Then bam! That ending hit me in all the feels.

Guys there're retailers selling the CD here in Argentina at 50 USD.

Holy shit, he even uploaded a .FLAC file of that. What a waste of bandwith and storage.

Just heard the Broadway show on YouTube. The highlights for me are the "Living With The Ghost", "Devil's in The Temple", and "Scars On This Guitar". I wonder if they'll try to see how Scars will do on the country charts. The album cuts usually stand out more from the recent albums because they don't seem to be trying so hard for a hook and are more from the heart. That's what it feels like to me.

I also agree that the album should get Grammy consideration, but isn't the cut off date for release for the Grammy Awards October?

Sadly it is. But there is a shot for THINFS could get a grammy nod, it was released in August. The same happened a year ago when Adele's 25 album came out, it was a November release as well, alot of people thought it should have gotten grammy nods, but again the cut date, I don't remember if her single "hello" was nominated, it had a shot because it was released before the cut of date.

anybody has the same thinking with me that this album BEYOND our expectation??I kinda love this album..I mean every single song is amazing, i wish Bon Jovi management understand that lots of song IF promotes correctly they can be hits in radio etc...

One thing before i forgot, i read the Living With The Ghost song..If this IS about Richie how sad their relationship was between Jon and Richie..
i love the lyric

"go tell your shadows that i got out alive"

he's like telling Richie..hey man i am alive and i am survived !

It's a knockout there i think !Love them
