Back to the interesting discussions of the last pages...

please update us...............

It's not interesting at all and there's other threads that discuss which album people like the most, but I get your point. We are possibly getting a quarantine video this week so that's something.

The box set discussion of the eras of each song going on is interesting and informative though.

What do you want to know?

If there were anything new about the album,dont you think we would be talking about it?

Yes, that's the point. I truly was just kidding, people can talk about what they want, it's just this thread is literally about the new album. When I get a notification from this, I expect news, not someone's favorite post 2000 album. That has been discussed many other times and there's other threads for it. It's not a big deal, post away, I will read and enjoy them all.

Maybe it has something to do with this

Ahh yes, could be!

It would make sense! It says Bon Jovi rather than just Jon...and they obviously can’t all be together to play. I assume it will be an old song (or two) and nothing new!

I reckon its be a band version of do what you can. Phil mentioned sending off something to the band, just before mentioning the group thing. I wonder if the band have recorded do what you can. We might get that as a single sometime soon? Doesnt line up with the whole bonus track thing tho

Well, maybe one digital launch of the song, and his earnings go to the fight against the coronavirus. Then be included in the physical copies of the album as a bonus track.

Bon Jovi shop: "Due to the unforeseen restrictions from the COVID-19 pandemic, our warehouse has been closed. We have started shipping orders this week although on a very limited basis. We plan to increase all efforts on fulfillment as we feel it's becoming increasingly safe for our employees. We appreciate your patience and understanding during this difficult time."
No idea what they are talking about.

Hell, why not do a track by track I guess.

We Weren't Born To Follow - it's okay. It's catchy and actually has some nice melodic ideas, plus it's a JBJ/RS penned lead single, which is a first I believe?

WWWB - pretty lame sha la la la modern day U2 snoozefest.

Work for the Working Man - terrible lyrics, trying way too hard to be Springsteen, but good music.

Superman Tonight - the production is a bit moody, but the song is fine.

Bullet - Bounce-ish guitar work. JBJ's subdued vocals clash a bit, but the pre-chorus is straight fire. Chorus is a little low on energy, but overall a good song.

Thorn in my Side - good song; with a different arrangement this could have been on a number of earlier albums. Used to be my fav from the album. It just suffers from a weird low energy / gloomy vibe; I can't really pinpoint as to why I feel that way. Then again, some people here love These Days, and that album is full of that.

Live Before You Die - worst song on the album, but probably not the least interesting. It feels very much like a BJ song of the Crush era, just worse.

Brokenpromiseland - excellent song. Didn't somebody on here do a country styled cover take of this? That was excellent, too; maybe better than the original actually 'cos I'm not crazy about its acoustics.

Love's The Only Rule - pretty good, but I always get this one and Happy Now confused. I'm pretty sure I like Happy Now better, though.

Fast Cars - completely unneccessary song. Oh well.

Happy Now - see LTOR.

Learn To Love - great chorus. Good song, safe for the "gun"-lyric.

I listened the TC this morning.

Its one of those albums where it just lacks a bit of "Omph".
Maybe If the guitars where a bit more heavier and drums prominent it would be a better album. It just lacks something.

bounce was the last record with heavy guitars

Good point, even though I only half-agree. On These Days, it was a matter of them wanting that vibe, that gloomy feeling because it fitted its time and the core of the songs. The vibe on this song is somewhat different, but I think it's down to Jon's voice this time around. On These Days, they had that "breaking out" of the vibe when they wanted it - Hey God, Damned or simply the ballads like My Guitar or Lie To Me ascending to a phenomenal finale.
That's what hinders the entire Circle record - Jon's inability to deliver a punchy chorus. He was singing well live at the time, but he never seemed to use his altered "live voice" in the studio. There are so many songs on The Circle where I feel that the potential is so much there, the instrumentation is nice, the verses are interesting and build up, but it all gets lost in the chorus. Bullet, Thorn In My Side, Brokenpromiseland, Happy Now - they all could've been great songs, but they poop out in the chorus. Had The Circle been recorded in the early 90's, it could've been close to the classic albums.

Jon just said on an Instagram live for Hampton Water that the album is out in October.

Was it just the camera's angle or did Jon actually look really skinny in this video?

He has been looking very skinny for a while. However those computer cameras do suck... He also talks so slow now too. Maybe he always did but he seemed extra slow.

An ideal date, probably coinciding with a second wave of the virus.

And if it comes out the last week, on the 30th, it's just in time for the elections on Nov. 3.

Jesus, pretty morbid way of looking at it.

Of course, everyone will be more attentive to the new release of Bon Jovi. who said it wasn't a brilliant idea?

Sometimes your thoughts are quite out there.

"the album and the tour been delayed, it's a great album it'll be out in October"
-_-
I hate Hampton Water label

I said it was late October about 2 weeks ago. You’re welcome one and all.

We're supposed to thank you for an unconfirmed guess?

Historically all Bon Jovi fall releases happen in October. That would be any fan with common sense first guess.

It wasn't unconfirmed. The record shop I get my vinyl from said 30/10 - it had been updated from 15/05 then about a day later someone close to the band (Billy falcon?) Confirmed it.

Bounce is literally the only one I can think of that came out in October.

In Germany, The Circle was released on October 30th. I vividly remember it because my dad picked up a copy while I was still in school that Friday and met me at the parking lot right after it to give it to me. And we have a week of "autumn holidays" in Germany that always center around a holiday on November 1st and it definitely was the last Friday right before these started :mrgreen:

Too funny, I vividly remember everything about that time too. I remember being at the mall looking for a dress jacket for prom the day the Shepherd Bush Webcast was going to air. It was such a special time.

I remember going to the record store and you could listen to cds that sometimes weren't out yet and cranking The Distance. Ahhh pre Napster days.

Bounce was launched on September 23, 2002 in Spain.

I remember perfectly, it was a Monday, it was my brother's birthday, I bought the CD that same afternoon and a Playstation 2 video game to give it to him. Didn't even give me time to wrap the gift and I gave it to him straight from the store bag. Great memories.

Aloha !

Nonsense, I'm not buying it. Your brother's birthday isn't even always on a monday.

Yeah, I'm talking about North American release dates. I have no idea when albums were released in other countries.

I think Bounce and Crossroad were released in October in America, but clearly not ALL Bon Jovi fall releases are in October.

Neither has Rdkopper.

No video...

Most have early October dates and then get pushed to November to avoid competition. Guarantee this new album gets bumped too.

And what's the source for all this wisdom?
