This is my favourite Bon Jovi album and I'm a picky sod with my music. What makes this top for me is the standards of the music and song writing. The sound is not of the 'stadium rocker' type that followed on Crush and lyrically, it's not the 'by-the-numbers' lazy song writing that covers many of the tracks over the last ten years.
It's a bunch of well written songs, some much more than others, but as a whole, it all fits together perfectly. I don't know what 'mind-frame' JBJ and Sambora were in when they wrote KTF and these Days, I wish they'd go back there!
