SWW is a classic! It sounds 80ish because it is 80ish and if the lyrics and music sound more like a boy than a man its because they were heaps younger then and were writting about reflections of their youth/highschool days.

If you were around in the days when Slippery was released it was a standout album from the crowd. Its completly defines everything that was Bon Jovi. Yes I have albums that I love better than slippery now for sure. But Slippery will always be the one that stands the test of time. It is a great fun album and even though the lyrics arent neccesarily brilliant, theres something about them thats infectious.

I guess if your younger and looking back on this album it may not sound as good as the accolades it gets. But it has a magic that you just cant buy I reckon. It really was a kickass album for its time and it still stands the test of time to my mind.
