question about Mid. in Chels

Okay, you don't like it, we get it. I personally don't need a beat by beat report on exactly why the album doesn't work for you.

I never liked it too much, much prefer Undiscovered Soul. Probably should give the album another shot sometime, though.

Always thought US was completely over-rated on here. Easily the worst of the RS solo albums for me and not a patch on DA.

The likes of All That Really Matters and In It For Love are vomit inducing. Harlem Rain is a tremendous song though.

I agree with you, I think Undiscovered Soul is the worst of all the Bon Jovi-related solo albums. Aftermath kicks its ass up and down the street.

Tough shit. Your gonna get one. Now stick Ticos stick up your ass.

Couldn't disagree more-US is my favourite of all the solo albums :P

This album is in my mind what 'good pop music' should sound like. Queen of New Orleans is tremendous, albeit a Tom Petty rip-off. And even if I don't listen to it very often anymore, Every Word Was a Piece of my heart is one of the best tracks Jon has ever written. Destination Anywhere has this Born to Run ethos that makes it great. And Little City could be straight off Nebraska. Midnight in Chelsea has something about it, even if it's one of the weaker song and Janie used to work tremendously well live. Then there's tracks like Ugly which are just painfully bad. Same with Cold Hard Heart...only a bonus song but pain pain pain. It's Just Me, as someone else here said, is just a long boring track. I still can't believe some people think that Jon played that solo to Bobby over the phone and that's what made the album cut or whatever bullshit. There's Staring at your window which is a good album track. Naked is kind of funky but doesn't really work. And then there's August 7, 4:15. I find the idea in itself great - paying tribute to a little girl and reminding people of such a tragedy. But he should have written a song of his own rather than ripping off Rockin' in a Free World.

Overall I think it's a solid record. I would say it's great, if Jon wasn't blatantly ripping off Springsteen, Tom Petty and Neil Young while trying to sound somewhere between Brit-pop cool and pop-punk lame. In terms of lyrics, yeah, there's some gems there.

See this love letters mixed with whiskey? Just don't light a match when you kiss me. If I blow away, you know, I'll be back soon.

It's arse not ass you Americanised jizz guzzler.

How do I start laughing at this... muahahahhahahahahahahahahaha

Americanised jizz guzzler. Brilliant!!!!

Interesting. I'm on the other side thinking it's the worst of all of them
