It's My Life isn't up to par with Dry County.

She Don't Know Me isn't up to par with The Price of Love

Misunderstood isn't up to par with Homebound train

Yeah, you're right, I love Homebound Train, and most hate it for some reason! Misunderstood is *decent* I guess. Dry County is really great, especially cause it goes on for so long and you don't want it to end. Very epic.

I still think people are taking me wrong though, lol, maybe it's my own deficiencies for my explanation...

Bon Jovi are a singles band because they have tons of HUGE radio songs that have made such a big impact on pop culture, meaning that they in a sense have been defined by the common public by those huge hits. This does not minimize their album tracks, or make the singles better than the album tracks. But within pop culture, they are a singles band - their albums aren't really concept albums or anything, lmao. There, that's a better explanation.

Anyone agree or at least see what I mean? I guess we'll have to agree to respect each other's opinions...

I see there is a lot of different opinions here thats good people have the right to say what they feel but there is no better album this year i will not listen to an album this year and say its better than HAND. I'm in the music business myself and not from fan but critic point of view this is a great album my mum is 57 and im 21 it just shows the range that bon jovi has and this is compared to no1 else accept for maybe the beatles cause they are legend's and i am also a fan

I think, that for an average people who go out to a concert (any bands or singers), they think, that band (or singer) is a singles band.

I would say THESE DAYS is the only filler-free record. It actually, should be FILLED with BITTER WINE and ALL I WANT IS EVERYTHING!
I strongly disagree, in fact IMO the only album that has fillers (excluding TLFR) is Crush (She's A Mystery).

As far as Without Love goes, that's one of my favorite songs on SWW.

No, Motley Crue are a singles band, their only good songs are their singles, but not every single of theirs is good.

Uhm, yeah.
That's my opinion, I don't like them that much.
You might but I don't. I prefer Twisted Sister to the Crue.

Look out!! The TD fanatics have arrived!

Without Love - Uh huh, as if that couldn't have been replaced with 4 better songs anyway, even though this one is very good. Edge of a Broken Heart, Game of the Heart, Lonely is the Night, Out of Bounds....etc.

99 in the Shade - .......hahahahahahaha, what are you smokin?

Woman in Love - Kick*** song, and could have been replaced by many great tracks.

You want filler...
Hearts Breakin Even
If Thats What it Takes
That's filler.

All my opinion of course.

They're not my favourite band or anything, but I'd say that records like the self titled one or Shout At The Devil are really album-albums, meaning the songs feel like they belong together and all make sense. Dr Feelgood had not too many great tracks apart from the singles, but then, it's a 10 track album and had 5 or 6 singles released.
