I think it's great. Much better than Undiscovered Soul. It's better than most BJ albums in the 00s. Check out "You Can Only Get So High" and "Seven Years Gone".

Thought he just had that 1 album. Never knew he released more. Bet the label lost a fortune.
KEYBOARD WARRIOR!

You must not be a real Bon Jovi fan.

Yeah, well, Richie never saved a woman about to jump from a bridge. Jon wins again.

I don't know man! Heather went fucking nuts after their divorce. He may have talked her down a time or two!TooOldToCare wrote: ↑Sat Sep 14, 2024 3:35 am Yeah, well, Richie never saved a woman about to jump from a bridge. Jon wins again.![]()
As for this album... The production or the mastering could use more sparkle. It's very flat sounding. I really only like a handful of songs on this one (You Can Only Get So High, Seven Years Gone, Every Road, Forgiveness St) The album went virtually un-noticed. He did a record with Orianthi a few years later too. Since he split with Bon Jovi he's been unusually quiet for a guy that was so high profile.

As a guitar player, I've felt since the 80s that Richie was the band's soul. He had a vibe that stands out in his solo stuff, which I think was one of the main ingredients in BJ. What do I know? I haven't followed BJ for years except what is said on Sludge, and beside his departure from the band, I haven't followed Richie either.

The record has a certain element that's been missing from Bon Jovi records since at LEAST 2007:
Fun
Bon Jovi records since Crush have been taken way too damn seriously.

JBJ soooooo wants to be Springsteen, but the problem is he has about 1/10 the talent.
