Is There Anyone Who DOESN'T Like The Circle?
 
Seriously, is there?

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???

There are lots of people who don't like The Circle. Fortunately I am not one of them, as I even like Fast Cars which everyone seems to hate.:p

The Circle is the best post 2000 album.

if you dont like this then i feel for you

on the way to work today I was listening to Bounce - an album panned on here - and I have to say its my 2nd fav post 2000 album.
THere are only 2 songs I dont like AALY & RSOW

The Cirlce is certainly an album that I have been waiting for Jovi to make. Yes id like the New Jersey sound but it aint gonna happen!

I agree and I know what you mean.
But to be honest: I'm not sure if it was the whole ticket mess that ruined my excitement or if it's the album.
Right now I've listened to The Circle twice completely. And I don't want to listen to it all the way through again. I'm listening to one or two songs and I'm switching to another artist or another record. I don't feel the excitement and the wish to listen to it over and over again like I did with the older records.

It's not immediate, but not a lot of decent music is. Give it time, listen to the lyrics and think about what they mean to the band and you, then you should find a connection.

If that doesn't work the new Westlife album is out soon..

That was actually funny. I'm impressed dude :)

And this album is definitely a grower - and it's the first one in a long, long time if ever I actually wake up with one of the songs going through my head. It's a different one every day too. lol

And I also like Fast Cars. It's not the terrible song people are making it out to be. I'd still put it above almost everything on Lost Highway and most of HAND actually.

I unfortunately agree with you. The more I'm listening to it, the more I'm bored with it. The only song that has stuck in my head is Love's The Only Rule. But in all honesty I find it hard to imagine any one of these songs making a b-side or demo in days gone by.

You are not alone. The album is ok but it's lacking memorable hooks. The only two songs that stuck in my mind are Love Is The Only Rule and WWBTF. The rest are ok, some have potentials to be great, but didn't get to that level.
