I like mountains lol, I like the idea of being “one”
I like WAN lyrics because to me this album always was girly, but I like more mature and complicated lyrics (not too easy to understand -_-)

Half of the What About Now album is fantastic and paired with half of the Burning Bridges throwaways would make for a great, modern Bon Jovi record. That said I can’t listen to WAN without questioning Richie’s input. I fear there’s Shanks’ contribution musically is greater than we’d like to think.

I'll say it again but this has got to be one of their worst albums. However, I think that it could have been a better album if it wasn't so rushed. I don't know, but some of the songs sound... unfinished.

Like the love songs here but on the other hand I don't like that What About Now song ("call to action" song whatever) was the first song written...
I also agree that Burn With Me is a great song!!! If I remember right 43 songs were written, sigh...

It's just dull and lifeless - easily the worst Jovi album for me - and the whole thing feels rushed and unfinished for whatever reason (not getting in that!). Another few months recording and it could have been better, for example

Highlights:
What's Left of Me could have been a great song - some good lyrics and melody ruined by the recording.
That's What The Water Made Me - again another potentially good to great song that falls short. Probably the best song on the album.
BWC could have been a pop masterpiece. Easy to singalong to, incredibly catchy. Might have been better given to another artist though.
Pictures of You - good song. Bad recording and bad production.

Lowlights:
Army of One. Just awful lyrics.
Amen - It's been said before but nothing more than a bad Hallelujah rip-off.
Thick As Thieves - Awful lyrics again - the middle 8 especially.

The songs are key, and JBJ can still be a great songwriter as THINFS proved IMO. But most of the songs on WAN are just lines that rhyme, there's no passion, no fun, no nothing. Complete waste of time.

Theres a reason it got 2/10 in Classic Rock Mag!

I remember when the tour started the band got slated for playing 7 songs a night from an album that wasn’t even out.

what I remember is that they rehearsed 75 songs for that tour -_-
