My expectations dropped significantly after hearing the single.
As I mentioned in another thread - it's one thing to be a single, but this is also the title track. All title tracks in the past have been good representations of their albums (Keep The Faith, These Days, Bounce, Have A Nice Day, Lost Highway, What About Now). And since I dislike the song, I can't see myself being impressed with the album either. As of now, I have no reason to suspect the new album won't be more of the same old we've been having forever.
This was probably the last realistic chance to hear something fresh and different from Jon (to signify the new era for the band). And that's what he decided to do. Sad
