Of course I wish for more of the stuff I enjoy but the stuff I enjoy others wouldn't and vice versa.
I have some faith in this album, I think he'll surprise us. The first two singles didn't show much by way of that but they're singles for a reason. No one wants to hear Bon Jovi with depth on the radio.

Don't forget Blind Love.
I don't consider BB to be an album of B Sides at all. At least half of the album, if not more, contains songs that very much deserve to be considered as from an official studio release and be considered for playing live (other than WDR Saturday Night Gave Me..)
I don't see why we wouldn't have faith in the album. So far, I'm only not impressed with Knockout, but Bon Jovi's entire career has consisted of single releases that rarely impress me going all the way back to New Jersey, so the fact I love THINFS is something of a rarity for me. Every post-2000 album has contained strong material that can stand up with the best of them, including WAN and BB. The singles have never foreshadowed the albums they are on.
