Meh. It's ok. Perhaps the rest of the album will be good as long as the songs don't all sound the same.
Funny how to me a lot of the stuff they do I'm not impressed with often sounds like a straight Springsteen rip off. If you compare this to say Wrecking Ball, the latter is a much better song and originally Bruce just wrote it for a one off performance before they knocked down the Giants Stadium. Turned into a 6 minute song that lead off his next album after that. I think Bon Jovi struggles with inspiration at times and finding original things to write about. Sometimes it helps to think small/more personal and something big can come out of it. My opinion anyway.
