I must say though, just to hear the catalog with that warm, mahogany-rich sound would be fantastic.

Same! I have old vinyl copies of NJ & SWW but haven't owned a record player for 20yrs or so.

I've never heard a better sounding album than the vinyl copy of NJ played on my cousins huge stack system.

I hear that.
Man.....
I may just have to restablish a vinyl collection and this boxset release should be the ideal reason why to do just that.

It's not cheap. I would really like to hear the other albums on Vinyl though.

I remember as a kid constantly putting that needle back so I could repeat listen to "Children Of The Damned" off Iron Maiden's "The Number of The Beast album". Ha! Good days.

Right you are.
$350+ here in the states, I believe.
Hell yeah!!
I'm a huge Iron Maiden fan.
Children of the Damned is a great song.
Fond memories of playing Maiden with friends on Vinyl back in the day as well.
My parents despised it.lol

So if you are not into Coldplay, Interpol, The Strokes, The Killers, Keane, Bastille, Kings of Leon, and even Daft Punk, then the ending of I Will Drive You Home, and songs like New Years Day, Knockout, and Born Again Tomorrow may be tougher to accept or get into.

All the mentioned bands make my ears bleed and I think BJ should be the trendsetters not the copycats. That's just sad. And the main reason for me for not likeing most of THINFS

I could make the argument that their 80's sound was influenced/copycating(according to you) by artist from 60's, 70's, and early 80's as well. Just because those bands I previously mentioned, apparently make your ears bleed, doesn't make them a poor choice to influence 2016 Bon Jovi. It's your opinion those bands stink, not mine, and ultimately limits your ability to think openly about this album or any modern day music for that matter.

The 'today's music sucks' thought paradigm is so old it should be in retirement home now!

Haha.

Maiden are great. That riff to Phantom of The Opera is one of my all time favs ever.

You need to do your research.
Here's 10 bands/albums that you should listen to prior to making such a bold claim.
1. Tame Impala (Lonerism)
2. The Struts (Everybody Wants)
3. My Morning Jacket (Still Moves)
4. The Shins (Port of Morrow)
5. Alabama Shakes (Boys & Girls)
6. Interpol (Antics)
7. The New Pornographers (Twin Cinema)
8. Michael Kiwanuka (Love & Hate)
9. Dredg (Catch Without Arms)
10. Rival Sons (Great Western Valkyrie)
Just to name a few off hand.
If you haven't listened to these bands/albums then your opinion doesn't carry a lot a weight with me.
