Have A Nice Day for me.

I think it has more decent songs than the other post 2000 albums. I think if they had excluded Wildflower and WSYCGH it would have been even better. (Although maybe not commercially considering the success of the latter song!) I think songs like Novocaine and Last Man Standing added a bit more integrity and maturity in comparison to the overblown chest beating of songs like Unbreakable.

Lost Highway didn't repulse me like it did a few/many Jovi fans, but again, it would and could have been better with the exclusion of one or two songs and the inclusion of Walk Like A Man or Put The Boy Back In Cowboy! I know it's OTT and cliched, but for me it is the best hybrid of "feel good" Jovi mixed with that Nashville style. A bit of fun, nothing more. Any Other Day is fantastic, and MAM is for me, the best ballad they have done this decade.

Bounce is a strange one. Undivided is the best album song they have wrote this decade IMO.....but the album as a whole is spoiled by the ballads and the 2nd half of the album is very weak.

Crush is probably the only Jovi album I've listened to and initially felt gutted by. In hindsight, it was partly due to the ridiculous statements that it was a SWW for the 2000's, and that songs like Next 100 Years were reminiscent to Wanted and Dry County! It has some great songs, IML, Just Older, OWN, but as an album it probably took me the longest of any to get into.
