Me too! Took me a few listens, but then Its a really great One. It's just different from the other Album Songs, many of which are very easy to like ;)

So this time we only have two slow songs (3 with real love) and both of them are good. That's positive, and it sounds a lot more varied too than for ex. HAND that got a bit repetitive towards the end.
Might end up at the best album post 2000 :)

Still cuirious about the three last tracks, maybe some slow acoustic ones..but hope for at least one more rocker.

Just had a look at the YouTube comments for THINFS, well recieved.

However, fans on Bon Jovi's own Facebook page are less complimentary!

Seriously!

They say it's Boring! Not listening due to Richie leaving or not as good b/c Richie's not on it?, I Want Jon to produce a album like the 80's/90's, Jon's political support for Hiliary Clinton is why I won't listen/buy THINFS Album etc.

It should be......Well done the Band on a good album! I am stunned. What do they want? Jon said he can't/won't sing like the 80's/90's anymore. THINFS Is the best they have done since These Days, I hope this album is what we get musically as they go on.....sure a WAN type songs may get thrown in, but who cares if they could produce another album like THINFS?

Yeah, those fans are jumping the gun a bit, expecting too much. But other fans, a lot on here for example, are doing the same in the other direction.

Best since These Days is a sweeping statement that comes too early in this cycle. Equally, those who say that this is an awesome album, or I love this song etc.

I am generally happy with what I have heard so far. However, I think it takes a long time for an album to settle and to make lasting judgments. A lot of things can change, even how the songs go over live can change perceptions of some tracks on an album.

This is an encouraging start to the THISNFS cycle for sure, but I would think giving some breathing room to the album before saying best since ...., or this is the best song of .... etc.

I very much agree with this. With WAN, I was having quite high hopes after the promo show in Stuttgart and was very disappointed with how the album sounded in the end.
With The Circle, I jumped the gun and called it instantly the best album since These Days, only to discover that it wore off very quickly after the first two weeks or so.
So this time, I'll hold judgement as to where to rank the album until it has settled a bit after its release.

My only concern is.....Jon proved that he could sing this entire album from start to finish. He wasn't perfect by any means but he also showed us that he doesn't need to rely on digital auto tune vocals with an overproduction to mask his voice. Jon could give us a more natural sound if he was produced right...

I'll have to give it a few more listens. Can't find much I like about it just yet.

There are quite a few here with the same opinion ;)

THINFS has had 1.5m streams on Spotify but One republics Kids has 22m
Olly Murs You Dont Know Love (good little pop song that) has had just over 26m streams

I think the glory days have long gone!

Would help if the song got on the radio and was on the "new music" playlists. Unless you're searching for Bon Jovi, you wouldn't know it's on there
