HAND is by far and away the best collection of songs the band has released since the "comeback" with Crush. The modern influence on the guitar tones and the songwriting also still worked and fit the band. While I do quite enjoy Walls, there's no way that people who like that style (but not BJ in general) are gonna be all about Bon Jovi's take on it.
I Am is also a terrific song. That live version drags quite a bit, though - too slow.
