Time for ne creative break!

One thing I want to preface the same: I am not here BJ pour from the hardcore fans of other bands with buckets of dirt, without having heard the CD. I'm a fan since 1984, saw the band until today 47x live and can say with complete justification, that I'm a fan. Fan be called but not for me, uncritically accepting any crap, which is a purposed of his favorite band. Personally, I found THE CIRCLE the best album since these days and had had me announced an extended break already enjoyed as Jon after the last tour. Only time-outs and time intervals keep the creativity level of a band that is more than 30 years in business, high, the best example of positive creative development after a long pause, was the last album by BJ guitarist Richie Sambora last year. Here are U2 and DEPECHE MODE certainly good examples of how you can stay creative, varied and interesting at this level.

Apparently, a gift which is not destined Mr. JBJ. As a Swiss watch is the BJ machinery every 2 years angeschmissen, a good current radio single (here Because We Can) is enough to bring only slow ticket sales for the upcoming tour right in transition. No wonder next to the unspeakable monotony on the radio are songs like Because We Can yes still pearls, even if they actually felt the infusion of 28 ITS MY LIFE, HAVE A NICE DAY, WE werent BORN TO FOLLOW and the unspeakable CAPT. CRASH are.

So the new album WHAT ABOUT NOW winds the first 3 songs between insignificance 1000x heard and really completely uninspired average commodity that BJ have umpteen times, but produced much more significant high, then. Only when PICTURES OF YOU, a satisfied grin sets the pace picks up the aging drums animal Tico Torres a rhythm beyond the three-quarter clock is finally expected holla, the forest fairy! Amen, THATS WHAT THE WATER MADE ME and WHATS LEFT OF ME then goes on well before with ARMY OF ONE Namely lyrically totally inconsequential, but Sambora finally gets 2 times real spots that are still live safely removed. THICK AS THIVES heralds another triumvirate of very good pieces, especially ROOM AT THE END OF THE WORLD is very well done. THE FIGHTER can then check off confidently again, using WITH THESE TWO HANDS then comes the last highlight from the speakers. NOT RUNNING ANYMORE and OLD HABBITS DIE HARD lull one even after a bucket Red Bull one. The largest Mißgefallen then do to make the last SAMBORA work to complete the album Champion Jon, EVERY ROAD LEADS HOME TO YOU. Here is a first / again deliberately blatant manner, which would actually go all if you would permit breaks, creative time-outs, and technical production and songwriting step outside influences and not every 2nd song for 10 years obsessively based on the absolutely same pattern. The Sambora comes on this album so little to train, than on any album before, is a single impudence, if one has such a brilliant guitarist in their ranks. With a lot of good will I forgive for the music on the album 4 stars, the scratch but more at 3.5, than anything else!

A rich point deduction there for the record company UNIVERSAL / ICELAND. A Deluxe Edition CD in windy Pappfolder without Textheft without CD Text, which is from start to finish a single impudence! Given to the Sambora single god pitiful bonus tracks, there is not a single good reason to buy the Deluxe Edition!
