What About Now: First Impressions

Pictures of you sounds goooooood so far. Probably will bomb live though.

I really like it.

Based upon the first listen, I liked this better than any of the other post-2000 records.

There are more songs on What About Now that I like than in Crush, Bounce, HAND, LH or TC, so yes, I consider it my favorite post 2000 album.

However, the production is just horrible. If they went with a more stripped down production, this album would kick so much ass.

I give it a 7.5.

Billy Falcon's co-written tracks are so catchy. This one is definitely better than The Circle.

As I absolutely love The Circle as a whole album (though individual tracks some are a lot better than others), I'm getting pretty excited, but I'm still not going to download some rip. Even though I'd buy it anyway, I just feel I'm losing some of my experience that way.

I too loved The Circle and won't download the rip.
But for me the reason may be the opposite of my usual reasons. This time, the 'need' of new bon jovi songs is so, not here that much, that I don't really care. So waiting for the cd is an attempt to build the excitement...

Yeah me too!! I have only heard BWC and WAN. I am considering actually going to the shop to pick up a physical copy, i haven't done that in a while.

what the hell are these lyrics about:
"i could rob a bank and you wouldnt care,
you'd sit on my lap in the electric chair,
and when they flip the switch we'd just....ha..... kiss".

unfortunately, I agree. With the usual and expected downtune for the live songs, they'll all definitely bomb live

I like a lot of it so far. But then I also loved The Circle. I give it an 8 after one complete listen.

So, I really liked so far. I don't care about the production, because I understand almost nothing about it.

But, what surprised me a lot was "What's Left Of Me". Man, this song is catchy at the most!! A very good vibe, nice voice works...totally unexpected.

So, I'm With You, Pictures Of You, Because We Can, What About Now, What The Water Made Me, What's Left Of Me, Army Of One and Room At The End Of The World are all very good songs for me.

Amen and The Fighter are just "ok", Thick As Thieves is a...I don't know, very weird song for me. And With These Two Hands...horrible.

I gave it 7.5/10.
