This album is really invincible!!

A review by Renske Holwerda / bonjovibedofroses@hotmail.com

1. Hey God.The first time I heard it,I didn't like this song,but the more I listened to it,the more I liked it.
In spite of that,It's not one of my favs.
rate: 6/10

2.Something for the pain.
The lyrics are the good,but the music don't mean anything to me.Maybe the music's good,but it just means nothing to me.
rate: 6/10

3.This ain't a lovesong.One of my favorites.
I guess,this is one of the best Bon Jovi-songs ever.
A slow balad and it's just because I don't believe in a follow-up song for Bed of Roses or Always,but it's a song in that slow balad-category.
rate: 9/10

4.These Days.This is my favorite song on the album.
It's about the changing times and I think the lyrics and the music are really good.
rate: 10/10

5.Lie to me.A slow balad,I like this kind of songs.
Some people say it's too monotonous,but I like that.
It's an easy listening song and the lyrics are O.K.
rate: 8/10

6.Damned.I don't like this song.
Two reasons: I'm a Christ and I don't like it when people curse.I know Jon is a Christ too,so I guess he don't mean it that bad and reason 2 is that I hate the sound.
When my radio plays that song I turn it off
But it's Bon Jovi and that's why I still give this song a 5/10.

7.My guitar lies bleeding in my arms.I don't know why,but I also don't like this song that much.
I don't understand myself: The music is great,the lyrics are great and it's like Jon wrote this song for me,but I still don't like it.
6/10

8.It's hard letting you go.
When I heard this song for the first time,I was really broken-hearted,so it ain't strange why I like this song.
It's a lovely slow balad and maybe it's too slow,but I like that.When I'm sad,I always play this song.It reminds me of a good time.
9/10

9.Hearts breaking even.
Wow wow wow!!This song should have been released.
It could have been a no. 1.
It's a loud song and I prefer balads,but this is a great song.The lyrics are wonderful.I really praise Jon for this song.No words can describe this beautiful song.
Just listen to it and you know what I mean.
10/10

10.Something to believe in.
I bought "These Days" in 1995,after been obsessed by "Always" and when I heard "Something to believe in" for the first time,I hated it.
The first part of the song ain't interesting,so I always turned it off when my radio played this song.
A few months ago,I was too lazy to walk to the radio when I heard this song and when I heard the second part,I was really amazed and this song grew out to one of my favorite "These Days"-songs.It's just a poppy song and that's good enough for me
8/10

11.If that's what it takes
I can't say this song is terrible,because it has its good sides,but I can't tell you so much about this song,
because I never listen to it.
It's not one of my favs.
5/10

12.Diamond Ring.
This song is too slow for me.
It's too monotonous.Always the same lyrics and I'm getting tired of this song.
No masterpiece.Sometimes when I'm tired and I can't sleep,
I play this song and I'm asleep within 5 minutes.
6/10

13.All I want is everything
I don't have to explain this song.
Just read the comments of no. 9 and you know my opinion about this song.GREAT GREAT GREAT!!!
9/10

14.Bitter Wine.
Yék.If there's one terrible song on this record,it must be "Bitter Wine".
I can't explain why I don't like it,because it's a balad,
but I don't like the lyrics,I don't like the songs.
Sorry,but that's just the way it is.
4/10

sorry about my English,but I live in Holland,so it's not my native tongue.

Rating: 10/10
