Back to the post 2000s and its time to rank Have a Nice Day. As a group, we ranked the 2005 album as the 7th best (5th worst) record released by the band.

2008 Results
01. Have a Nice Day [169]
02. Last Man Standing [158]
03. Dirty Little Secret [137]
04. I Want to Be Loved [135]
05. Last Cigarette [122]
06. Welcome to Wherever You Are [119]
07. I Am [116]
08. Bells of Freedom [110]
09. Who Says You Can't Go Home [96]
10. Story of My Life [96]
11. Novocaine [89]
12. Complicated [78]
13. Unbreakable [67]
14. These Open Arms [62]
15. Wildflower [37]

HAND is an interesting one. DLS always seems to do well considering it's a bonus track and Novocaine is always sure to divide people. TIme to get voting!

Have a Nice Day (song) is brilliant. Yeah it's post 2000 song blah blah. But its a true rock song and the chorus is awesome.

I've always loved I Want to Be Loved. It's been one of my favourite songs by the band since I first heard it.

I enjoy all the songs except the bottom 3 I ranked. However, although a lot of the songs are enjoyable, a lot of them still fall short of being great. They are just average/good songs.

It's a good album with some great tracks and some poor tracks.

15) Dirty Little Secret
14) Have A Nice Day
13) I Am
12) Complicated
11) These Open Arms
10) Unbreakable
09) I Want To Be Loved
0 Last Man Standing
07) Novocaine
06) Story Of My Life


The rest 0

When this album is good its good. When its shite its pure shite
The title track is what BJ do best. Fists in the air and a real catchy chorus.
I see it as part of a trilogy with IML, Everyday & HAND. 3 anthems that are excellent live.
This album contains a song I hate with so much passion its unreal. WSYCGH.
No wonder rockers hate Bon Jovi with crap like that.
Welcome To Wherever You Are is another load of utter tripe. The line "God knows your perfect he makes no mistakes" has me reaching for the sick bowl. Its a horrible line.
Last Cigarette and Wildflower are just bland songs with nothing happening and not a lot going on.
I had high hopes for this album and I still like most of it but there are some real fillers on here.

Hmm, lets see

15 Have A Nice Day
14 Last Man Standing
13 Bells Of Freedom
12 Novocaine
11 Dirty Little Secret
10 I Am
09 Complicated
08 Story Of My Life
07 Last Cigarette
06 Unbreakable
05 I Wanna Be Loved
04 Welcome To Wherever You Are
03 These Open Arms
02 Who Says You Can't Go Home
01 Wildflower
-15 Who Says You Can't Go Home (country duet)

Who Says is probably not that bad song as I've ranked it but it caused the biggest tragedy in their career - country. And it is terribly overplayed even if it is a normal live-friendly song which could be rotated with similar songs (Captain Crash, We Got It Going One etc).
