Happy Birthday to The Circle!

It's the album that brought us Love's the Only Rule, so I'm quite glad about it. Except for this song I haven't listened to any of my other (early) favorites in a long time. On the other hand I've started to enjoy Fast Cars.

Missed the tour but have seen the video of Thorn in my side with Jon and Richie ending on guitars. Nice version.

I honestly love this album. When I first became a fan, The Circle was their most recent album. Superman Tonight is my favorite from the album, with Fast Cars in a close second. It's the only BJ album that I continue to listen to as a whole, as most of their other albums have terrible pacing, even of many of the songs are better.

I remember you and I were probably the only two fans of Fast Cars. As far as The Circle, I actually find myself liking it more than I initially did when it was released. Big fan of Happy Now, Brokenpromiseland, Bullet, and Superman Tonight.

I have been a fan of The Circle since it first came out. Considering what came out after - I am more of a fan than ever. Though Burning Bridges gets an honorable mention.

It was released during a very difficult time in my life and so it has a special meaning for me. Happy Now and LITOR are mean a lot to me.

I can still appreciate about almost half the album and songs I actually still listen to. The other half is skipped but I definitely regard this album as their last good one and the last real Bon Jovi album. It was also the last tour I ever saw them live and I'm perfectly happy with it staying that way.

Some good songs, some fillers.

I still hate the video to Superman Tonight.

Real last great album, with some mediocre songs in it.

Still sad they didn't make a proper video for Superman Tonight, the song deserved better.

Their last real good effort. The last album where they actually felt like a band and you didn't have to second guess who was playing what (if at all).

Shanks has confirmed he's played on it and having a better idea now what his playing style and tone is like I think I can hear him. But it's less obvious about it.
