For me, its the band at their absolute best.
Solid album from start to finish
Fav songs are....well...all of them but BTBMB, LIS, BOB, STYG and WITW are my all time fav Jovi songs.
Thoughts?

I agree 99-44/100 %.
I love NJ from beginning to end, but
my list of top songs would have to include RCR. It's one of my very favorites, all by itself, as is STYG. But the pairing of the two puts them over the top. The special effects mimicking the crackly sound of an old 78 is absolute genius. It's like watching a movie where RCR is a fuzzy, flickering "talking picture" flashback to cowboys of yesteryear and then, with those first clear, strong chords, STYG strips away the fuzziness to continue the same theme in present-day.
It's a lot like choosing a dessert from a dozen options, though, because I truly like all the albums. If pressed, I'd say that Lost Highway has always been my
favorite (and btw, boo to all the people hating on WGIGO on the other thread; that song is just awesome!). But if I were being totally objective, I'd have to agree NJ is their
best.
