Hah…some interesting points of view. I remember the first time I listened to 7800. It was one of the last if not the last Bon Jovi album I got my hands on (they never had it at my local music store). My first reaction was 'what the hell is this?!?' It's so different. To this day, i haven't heard anything close to this…not by Bon Jovi, not by anyone else. I think it's the most original album in Bon Jovi's catalogue and the only Jovi record which truly sounds as if the band had two guitarists (Jon is credited for playing 'noise guitars'). The bass is killer all throughout and that synth somehow never come across as out of place. Not to mention Jon's vocals which sound as if he sings for his life.

As about To the Fire - always liked it. Solid album track. Not as good as Only Lonely, Price of Love (that bridge with it's all in the game, the way that it's played….etc….ending in one massive 10 sec scream leading into the solo still makes me go mental each time) or Secret Dreams but decent song.
