Shine & Luv Can sound great,it even sounds like Jon was using his
old 2009-10 voice it just has that somewhat rich tone. These songs sound better than the 2 that replaced them.

Thank you!

There's always the chance the record company wanted another upbeat song and Do What You Can covered that.

If the album was due in May and had Luv Can & Shine on it, what bonus track(s) was the Japanese release getting? The music videos are on there I know, but I'd expect at least 1 bonus track.

i was hoping for at least one rock song...but no!!!

It's only 30 seconds, but this promises, I want to know where the rest of the song will walk.

I don't think they got any extra track in May. They would get a touch DVD with clips and that's it. Jon had 23 songs prepared as a demo, but they finished the best 10. The rest is unfinished. There is no chance they will throw in an unfinished track for a bonus.

Phil X - I think Jon’s always been a visionary, but I really saw it come together with this record. This record was the first record that I was involved in from the ground up. We were in Nashville last March for 11 days and we laid down all the band tracks. Then Jon picked his favorite ten and those songs were [given] vocals, more guitar, more piano, keys and percussion. We’re all singing backgrounds. It was a really amazing process to be a witness to

I didn't mean unfinished, I thought they'd have at least 1 finished for the Japan CD.

Good to hear that they had Phil involved more, end results speak for themselves.

This might have already been said, but the production of Unbroken sounds way better to me? It certainly fits the album really nicely as a closer, might have to upgrade my rating due to it.

I noticed that as well, but blamed it on me not having really had paid attention to the single release back then. Was that guitar sound (a bit engine-like) in the outro always there on that song?

Can someone please share the download link to the full album?

I bought it on vinyl, but no idea when it's going to arrive. Some are saying not until December..
Here's my proof.

Thanks!
