Well, "The Reason" is indeed already a few years old. My impression from 2004 has been confirmed in the meantime. The song is very catchy, remains in there and never come out. However, the half-life of this kind the sadly pop rock of Bon Jovi fans is very low. So the CD dusty now in the depths of any box in the basement and when "The Reason" on the radio, then I turn around. When I bought the CD at the time, I thought to Hoobastank on "Crawling in the Dark" and so on and that was at least real rock. This song, however, is a plastic pop Ballädchen who would make good on any Bravo hits and possibly on a "Grey's Anatomy" soundtrack.
