Huge Bon Jovi fan BUT I think this is the first album I'm not buying - lame lyrics, pop production, better singing tone than 'The Circle' but all throw away songs with no passion or bite at all - no riffs, no vocal range and just lame .......
'Beautiful World' verses are exactly the same melody as Matchbox Twenty 'How Far We've Come' - even the same chord progression - how the hell someone in the Jovi production camp/writing did not notice this is beyond belief - a strong case for legal action from MB20 .....
Not sure why some people don't like Sambora's album - a real grower with a mix of everything and wipes the floor with what this is - pretty much a JB solo album in all but name - I question how much the rest of the band actually play on it .......
