Shot Through the Heart, Runaway and Burning for Love are the ones that I dig. It's probably a more even record than Fahrenheit, but I find Fahrenheit to be a more interesting record; even if some of the stuff it tries doesn't work. All in all, it's an okay record, but sounds more like a cross between Aldo Nova and Survivor than Bon Jovi - Slippery REALLY brought the Springsteen influence to the table (Wild In The Streets!), and is much more of a popping (and pop) record. The heavy-ish backbeat of the debut is less "fun".
