I like it ! I guess we will have to wait the turmoil's over to judge the real potential of this album... 1 or 2 years !

From what I hear from the samples, the 10 new tracks seem interesting... even if i can't wait to hear the new Queensryche with LaTorre

after 4 entire listens, it's a good album in the vein of the last 2. The deluxe version is not necessary; on the contrary, IMO, if we get rid of tracks 5, 12, 14, 15, 16, ending with 11 tracks we get a pretty decent mid tempo opus. Jon's voice is crystal clear with cool nuances. There's a U2 feel on some tracks too (3,6). Because we can should have been moved to track 6 or 7. Nothing new

on wikipedia, each album since Bounce is listed selling between 3 & 4 million copies... but that's wikipedia... :)

Bon Jovi is a corporation with Jon as the CEO. He knows how to sell a tour (where the money is) with advertisement! WAN is just that IMO! WAN will sell between 3 & 4 million copies, as every album did since Bounce. The Decline as an artist started with Lost Highway, very generic music, easy listening stuffs that will please the masses from every genre. Jon is a businessman first, alwa

The chorus of Nowhere to hide reminds me of a song Of White Lion on Pride, i guess it's "The lady of the valley" if i remember well ... catchy tune nevertheless

Great stuffs on order from this very tasteful label : Sapphire Eyes is a monster aor album (what a great singer! ; songs are very catchy and full of hooklines, inspired guitar work) Lionville : a westcoast/ aor top notch album Sven Larrson : the street talk main man comes back with a smooth and delicate music. Danger Zone & wheels of fire are great too Loved the Angeline n

One of the best albums so far for me this year ! "Our ship's sinking" should be a smash hit... stunning ! I Hope he shoots a video for it !

Very very strong record, i'm enjoying it a lot ! This album should have more exposure, at least as much as the new eclipse which is largely overestimated IMO :)

To me they're just a regular band now ! Generic music ala black counrty music & co. I don't hear Tempest comfortable with this style though, just a feeling ! How funny Bands gain nobility (reviews) as they turn into the blues roots, what an fresh news !!!!! Good album though but not my cup of tea so far ! i will buy it nonetheless but i will not going to see them live in november

Listening actually to this great new live album by Pretty Maids, The greatness Of his Voice is all Over This live performance! Frontiers records should interested him in releasing an Aor/melodic rock album Ala Hardline/ Khymera/ Wet, this Guy would be a killer in this genre too! I follow Pretty Maids since 1987,and since then They always délivered, The two mastermind remind me fro

John Norum breaks my nerves ! I like him on stage, great stamina, great face, but come on Joey... Enough with the bluesy stuff like it would be the only way to gain the recognition Europe deserves from your peers ! I never understood why the bluesy side of music is more noble than other genre ! Yes ok Europe is a different band, it evolves, but it tends to sound like other bands now, like

"Doghouse" don't do it for me, neither the samples of the new single ! I guess John Norum has imposed his blues trademark vastly in the sound of the band now !

As i recall, they were not embryonic, they were complete songs and they were rejected by the label... funny cause it was a pretty strong material ! Along the line of PIP with a rockier edge. Some (3 or 4) have seen the light of day as "yesterday news" and bonus material on japanese PIP release ! But i understand the copyright thing ! I guess it's not a big deal because Kee released the

With the new Europe record coming along shortly, we can have a taste of the "Ancient" Europe with Kee who does a very good retreatment of his back catalog with the guys ! I wonder if He could record under his own name the 20 songs or so from Le Baron Boys Demos, which was the draft of a Europe album that should have seen the light of day between OOTW and PIP ! Great songs ! I wou

Great Album ! I'm not fond of the first Era except for 1984 and the first one but i must admit they found a way to go back to that era with a vengeance ! The Songs are strong, except bullethead; i read some say Ed is lacking something in the soloing department.... are you kidding me?... he's better than ever, just check the guitar solo in Big River... stunning !

Very smart move indeed ! The guy is class, nice looking guy to gain a hypothetic international success, he sure has an awesome stage presence (we'll see that), great voice, and they add another guitar player to the game... to their benefits ! Great song IMO !

So they should remove the 'tallica name from this complete failure and i mean it. I just have the chance to listen to the complete album ... What can i say ? I think it's a joke ! The only one in this load of crap who may be able to gain something is Lou Reed. Due to the promotion this album had for months he may be able to sell some albums finally, i mean a lot more than he used to. On the o
