Is There Anyone Who DOESN'T Like The Circle?

I have to add though that everyone has a right to say they don't feel anything for it and if the reasons behind why you think it's a decent album are restricted to those you listed, perhaps you are just easily pleased.

I have all the other albums, and every album I find I can sing along to, or sing the words in my head. The Circle, I cant. I dont mind WWBTF, and WWWB is a beautiful song, my favourite, but the others just pale in comparison. There isnt a song I like enough to sing along to. The lyrics dont get stuck in my head like songs from other albums.

I can listen to the album all the way through, but there is just something missing. I dont like it enough to want to hear it again. I have tried to like it, have listened to it numourous times, but its not happening. Its just not catchy enough. Its actually boring.

I am hoping there is someone out there who knows what I mean? Am I the only one who was disappointed in this album???

I don't know why i'm even replyin to you, but, easily pleased? dude, comn', Bon Jovi is all about getting easily pleased, Livin on a Prayer is crude proof onto what easily pleased is; you want to talk to me about easily pleased? I'll send you some of the stuff you should listen to in private, to learn what easily pleased is, bozo.

Every band has a poppy side to it, otherwise none would be selling any material; though the poppy sound can fluctuate every now and then from album to album, from song to song, but its definitly there; Nirvana had a certain poppy sound to them, U2, scorpions, enuff zenuff...etc

I, as many others reading those message boards, was kinda impressed with the stuff you and some others were writing about the new Jovi album at first, a return to These days? good guitars? like ermmmm ok why not, I like the These Days album, but i'm not a psyco over it; its just another set of songs from some 14 years ago; don't get me wrong, everywhere i went in the past 2 weeks i was talkin good stuff to all friends of the new BJ album; old-time rockers and guitar players, i was tellin everyone they should listen to the new Jovi album its back to ''These Days'', as per you supposedly ''big head'' (x-wankers?) posters around drycounty.com thought The Circle was THE shit.

I've even openned up ''Bon Jovi New Album'' threads on some alien message boards.

Knowing that where i come from, Bon Jovi has lost lots of fans after the 90's ended; but i reckon that was due to the change in the music scene as a whole; it had nothing to do with Jovi becoming less rocky or not.

Not to drift, I was taken by your blashemy on how The Circle is THE shit, i actually liked it, for many reasons; mainly the lyrical content, not that it concerns you, but it complied much with where i'm in right now; strange enough if you ask me, the best thing about BJ either in the 80's or now is the lyrical fabrication they come up with;

So with this much load of optimisim and great expectations inquired by your likes, it sort of blew it for many people; you should've held your horses hun, a good album only is recognized as a good after a certain period of time, not upon the first listen; anyway why i'm finding it good at the moment, is due to the guitar build-up in Superman Tonight or due to the ''comn now''s in broken promiseland; quite frankly its not an x-wanker behind a screen thats gonna tell if thats easily pleased or not , just go play with your nintendo, or whatever game console they have for you geaks nowadays.



I almost forgot about the whining thing, its completely healthy when some whines every now and then, or if someone is a bit disapointed onto some album, but for ****s sake people like Supersonic have been whining around for almost a decade man! some psycologic work should be involved here, this much pessimisim can't by any means be described as sane. no pun intended, we're just foolin around.

I'm no homophobe, neither have i any complexes that a little teenger with a big arse be listennin to the same stuff i could be listenin to sometime; but i sure have the right to feel sick at the negative vibe every now and then around here; i've been a member since like 6 years now, with a username that dosn't make sense; i never bothered to post somethin meaningful as to i don't find rock music this much of an issue to waste time on doing that much analysis.

cheers,
