Not at all what I expected. In fact I grabbed it the moment I saw it thrilled to see something new from Bon Jovi. Needless to say I was a bit dismayed after hearing the first 10 seconds. Did we need to add an outside voice on Livin' on a Prayer. I don't think so. Listening to this is like listening to nails on a chalk board. Love the guys, but what were they thinking!! I've even tried what others have suggested and have tried to let it grow on me, BUT, it just aint happenin'. Time for the boys to get back into the studio and crank out some new tunes reminiscent, but NOT the same and more upbeat. This last one has left me somewhat depressed. :(
