Have A Nice Day (the album)

Indeed I hate it. The only songs I even bother to listen to on very small occasion is the title track and Story Of My Life. And even then, I might crack open those tunes two or three times in a year.

Novocaine seems to be a pretty even split. I guess it's more Last Cigarette that surprises me. It just seems like the kind of song that would get love here, and I don't mean that in a bad way.

Well, I think Last Cigarette is better than Wildflower or Complicated...

These would be my 5 WORST songs from HAND:

1. Complicated
2. Wildflower
3. Last Cigarette
4. Novocaine
5. Have A Nice Day

Agreed. I find both songs to be fantastic. Underrated gems of the post-2000 era.

Last Cigarette is SO over the top poppy, on the flip side I can see why it's not loved around here. Yet I still love it and would classify Novocaine as one of the shining moments of post 2000.

I am yet to come across a Jovi song that splits fans more than Novocaine. You either hate it or love it. I happen to be on the hate it side.

Off the top of my head If I Was Your Mother comes close, but Novocaine is black and white when it comes to fans liking it or not.

I'm sooo with you Brian. My favorites from HAND are:

1) Last Cigarette
2) I Am
3) I Wanna Be Loved
4) Novocaine
5) Story Of My Life

Yes, Novocaine really is a love or hate kind of thing. I DO understand it´s a very original and obviously a brave piece of songwriting by JB, yet it never had an impact on me. I wish I liked it but the truth is, it´s just not my kind of a song. And maybe it is because I don´t come from an English speaking country but I don´t seem to understand how a needle could actually run through someone´s veins. (I think it may just be an idiomatic way of saying things in English after all?)

Otherwise, HAND has grown on me during the years. After an initial disappointment, I`ve learned to like it a lot. The title track belongs to my all-time top 10 BJ songs. I even like Who Says. I just wish Nothing had made the album. aND they could have added the original title track demo on the reissue CD.

does anybody else think a combination of the HAND demo and the song that made it on the album would have been better. For instance, keeping the acoustic breakdown after the solo

Agreed. I really like that acoustic bridge.
