Bon Jovi The Circle

Just bought album today in the UK and I have to say I'm very disappointed. Very poor.

Completely agree. Utter sheeee-it.

Flagship song is Follow (conveniently the first track), next track When We Were Beautiful is a departure from style…Bon Jovi doing U2, whom they used to loathe back in the late 80’s (how ironic). There are a few more forgettable tunes on the front half, and the back half is pure garbage. I am NOT a hater. In fact, I bide some of my spare time in a BJ tribute band. Rest assured, we have absolutely NO new material to add from this album. Maybe Follow. MAYBE. Until the novelty of a “new Bon Jovi song” burns out, then it’s done. Lost Highway was a diamond compared to this album, and that’s pathetic. Sad to see my idols pinching off a loaf like this just to justify a giant tour with the worst ticket prices in history. Hell, at least No Doubt made no qualms about touring for the sake of touring with no new album.

Shame on you, Jon. You were better than this.

SHAME

Just bought the album today. Its VERY good. It's a far cry from Lost Highway and back to a bigger rock sound. The song's are far better than expected. I started to lose a little bit of intrest in Bon Jovi when they released Have A Nice Day it didn't really grab me and Lost Highway was nice but not really great but this album is fantastic, it has a new heavy sound, great lyrics and there's not really a song I don't like.
Bon Jovi are back with a new sound and best album since These Days.

It's the best album ever!!!

I thought some of the above comments were a bit harsh. Some good stuff on this album. Like it a lot. I saw Bon Jovi twice in concert in the UK back in 1989 & i still think they have got it.

some of these comments are quite harsh! i LOVE bon jovi, and always will. i agree some of their earlier stuff was better, but the tracks on the circle are still brilliant! i'm 13 and have seen them twice, i'm sure i'll be seeing them again in the future. they've definately still got it!! :D
