of course they knew several songs that no fans ever had heard without checking the fan sites.

Ok, everybody has different oppinions but we all know TD is their best album and they would never do a record like this because they can't do it anymore.

Be honest! Compare the lyrics from the new record with TD.

And: In the ´90 the music they did was "real". Today they are just acting on stage. Jon always puts on a show. Compare the dvd from London ´95 with anything nowadays and you know what I mean .....

JERSEY

No, it isn't. What we do know is that it is all a matter of opinion.

No, New jersey is their best album so far (I guess it will always be their best!).

Whatever, but they checked the sites as well.

Hey, they probably did... witch was good otherwise the box set would have turned out to be quite bad.

I kind of like it, a lot of songs with good feeling and I like the rougher sound that a few songs have.

Keep The Faith is the masterpiece as far as I'm concerned. These Days is a good album, but I rank it below both KTF and New Jersey because in my opinion there are some weak tracks. I don't like (It's Hard) Letting You Go and Diamond Ring and I think Lie to Me is very average too. Apart from that Something for the Pain is one of my all time faves and TAALS and Something to Believe In are great. I think it's good that Bon Jovi were willing to experiment, and it's a very good album, but not without it's flaws.

On the OWN issue, I've said before that I think Bon Jovi should have took the recording from one of their best gigs and released it as a dual disc live album. I don't particularly like compilation live albums as they lack the feel that a full show would give you.

I think These Days is an amazing album and Bon Jovi really believed in what they were writing and were pushing themeselves artistically aswell. Just listen to the lyrics. Thats when Bon Jovi were at their best. Since then things haven't been the same altough Have A Nice Day is a savage album and the best they've done since These Days, it just dosen't compare. But hey, thats just my opinion!!!

I reckon these days is the best BJ album closely followed by either NJ or bounce
I just couldn’t fault any tracks on these days, plus I can play quite a lot of them on guitar which is good
