With all the well deserved praise The Circle is getting (which I share) I think its fair to reflect on a previous 00's album I feel is a bit underrated. I'm not saying its a fantastic album or anything, but I started feeling the vibes in several threads that many now felt it was a POS, it became something of the redheaded stepchild of the Bon Jovi years.

Bon Jovi doing country isn't a good idea, but I dont think the country influence is that great on it. The reason I like LH is because it contains some of my favourite Bon Jovi songs of recent years. Make a Memory is a fantastic song. A lot different from the usual power ballads we normally get. Same goes for Lonely which reminded straight away of These Days. Whole Lot of Leavin' devides a lot of people. Personally I love it. Any Other Day is also a fantastic song which I can't sing the praises of high enough. I think it actually laid down the foundations of the sound BJ went on to do in The Circle. I still feel Walk Like a Man is a better song then the Circle's Live Before You Die which shares the same theme.

So while overrall it's not a classic by any means - it contains far too much dross, the first two tracks and almost the entire second half of the album if you dont include the bonus tracks we got - it still has such great stand alone songs to warrant more respect then I think it's getting around here.
