Phewww...I thought I might be the only person around who likes [actually I love] this album. JBJ has 'said' several times he's embarrassed by this [and the first one] but be damned if I understand that. No Bon Jovi/7800' - no Bon Jovi. Those 2 led to SWW. Still, he's the writer [or co writer] so I guess it's his call...but one of his best songs [re: writing] is on 7800' [IMHO] - "The Hardest Part is The Night". I'm like Donna on this album...it's the calm before the storm...and yeah, it's raw etc., but one of it's appeals is exactly that.
I would love to hear them sing THPITN.....man, I'd just be happy to see them play here...infact....they could sing Baa Baa Black Sheep and I'd be rapt...so long as they come here [one day] - there's an interesting visual....."BJ rocks the Nursery Rhymes"......I've been watching too much tv, working too hard...or something
Cheers,
