Default Good or Bad?

Do you think its a good or bad thing that we are listening to the songs well before they are released?

For me listening to Everyday and the tiny bit of Undivided has made me even more impatient - the release date seems so far away now. I was wondering if it would have been just as frustrating if I hadn't heard the snippets.

I know we've had a taster of whats to come but arghhhh would it have been better to hear the song maybe just a week before so the agony was not so stretched out.

Counting the weeks, days, mins, seconds and suffering!

Gimme something for the PAIN!

I think that for a fan, listening the songs before is the best thing, cause we now that we will buy the album. But there is a bad point, everybody can record the songs on his own personal CD´s and sell.

Well hearing the first single is all natural, even though it came out to the public a little earlier than intended. However, hearing a :30 snippet of the opening track ain't a bad thing. I just don't want to hear snippets of all the songs on the album, that will most definitely take away the magic when finally putting the cd in your player for the first time.

So with hearing this one snippet and the full Everyday I think I will make it until the single comes out and I get to hear some new demo songs. It won't be album tracks but surely good ones. I'm looking forward to the demo "Another Reason To Believe", but all the others as well..

I am the same as you,
since hearing the new music from bj, i am also more impatiant now. The thing that has really made me more impatiant is the 30 sec snippet of undivided, because to me it sounds like it could be the best song bj have ever made (although its too early to say too much about the song).
But it goes to show how good bon jovi are at promoting their new work after all the years of doing it, because i don't think that there is a single person on the dry county message board that wont buy bounce!!!!

I'm with you Miek!! And I can safely say that, seeing that I'm new on the scene of following a band devotedly, Bounce is the most highly anticipated album of my 19 1/2 years on this planet!

For me, it's bad. I don't want the initial playing of Bounce to be spoiled by premature listenings. Of course I've listened to Everyday and even the clip of Undivided, but even though I live in Canada and have to wait till Oct. 8 to buy the album, I don't plan to download the songs before I buy it. I also won't read the lyrics or read the "making of Bounce" with all the breakdown of each song till I have the album.

I really wish the release date was the same everywhere so each fan could listen and form their own opinion of the album before they read all the reviews from the earlier released countries. Oh well. Less than 2 months to go, now.

It's bad! LOL I want my first reaction to be from REALLY listening to the CD. Yet, I don't have the patience to wait if I can get a copy early via the internet or someone sending me an advanced copy. The sound you get over a computer is not as good as you get from a real stereo and that takes away from the quality of your initial impression. In most areas of my life, I have immense patience, but when it comes to Bon Jovi, I just can't wait if something is there for the taking. I'm also conflicted when it comes to downloading songs. I don't think it's ethical... but when they're there for the taking and it's BON JOVI, it's hard to resist.

I'm just so keen to get to hear the entire album with all of the proper versions, instead of all of the spam ones, and I have found plenty, that clog up my domputer with false downloads. I guess it just serves me right though for being impatient, but what can u do? I just like listening to Bon Jovi, I mean who wouldn't?

I totaly agree with Fredrik. I did it but I don't want to hear all of it cause it has lost the magic then.
