Word is that the entire album leans towards the country-ish sound of “Who Says You Can’t Go Home”

It's funny, such a genre-jumping/crossover attempt always strikes me as desperate.

Bon Jovi is one of my favorite bands, but I thought “Who Says You Can’t Go Home” was the worst song on their last album. I'm sure I will buy this album around release day, but I am not looking forward to a potential change in sound.

Thanks, Cow. I'll assume for now that work blocks certain streams. I'll try at home tonight.
edit: yep--works at home.

am I alone in actually preferring Bounce to the more successful Crush and Have A Nice Day albums? To me, Bounce was more what I wanted to hear from the guys that I was listening to in 1987, yet it flopped and sunk without a trace

I haven't given it a listen yet. Maybe in a day or two..

I got mine at Target and one of my favorite songs on it is Target exclusive Walk Like A Man. Good CD
Expensive day - Bon Jovi, Brad Paisley, and I'll say it Mandy Moore
Also bought Bob Seger Smokin' OPs at WalMart for $5.50

I have listened to Lost Highway a few times and this easily ranks as Bon Jovi’s worst album. There are four or five good songs so it is not completely terrible. However, the album overall is just not very memorable. No songs really stand out as singles or anthems.

I like these songs from Lost Highway:
1. Lost Highway
4. Whole Lot Of Leaving
6. Any Other Day
8. Everybody's Broken
10. The Last Night
I think I hate "We Got It Going On." I admit it is kind of catchy, but incredibly lame.

Downloaded this from iTunes today and gave it a few spins.
I like it... for the most part.
Some of the songs seem to just blend into each other, but that's okay. Most of the music that I listen to is just background while I'm working, so it works for me.
There are a couple of songs that I can't stand (when I'm paying attention) and "We Got It Going On" is one of them (the one with Big & Rich).
I like the Leanne Rhimes song (but it's a bit unnerving that a 40-something and a 20-something are singing a duet about "Not [being] Strangers Any More."
All in all I give it a 7.5 out of 10.
(.... oh and I caught the VH1 Un-Plugged tonight and it was great! Hopefully they'll release an album version of that. The slowed down "It's My Life" with guests The All American Rejects was great! )
