Default This left feels right...what do you think half a year later?

Half a year ago, was released "This left feels right", with no doubt the most criticised BJ album.

I remember I used to like it a lot when it was released, and even if I still like it, I think isn't in the way that I did at that time.

I still think the new versions of "Wanted", "Bad medicine", "Everyday", "Faith" and "Always" are great, but cannot say the same of "Bed of roses" or "I'll be there for you" that now I think that they're sincerely boring.

Also the TLFR LIVE DVD changed some of my points of view. I hated "It's my life", but when I listened it live, I think the guys really improved it. The same for "Bad name".

The only song I think still sucks is "Prayer", the worst version I've ever listened to (the person who told Olivia D'Abo that she sang well, must be crazy)... and even live makes me bored. With Alsou it sucks a little less.

I think now I'm indifferent to the rest of the songs ("Lay your hands on me" and "Born to be my baby".

RANKS FOR THE SONGS, UPDATED 06/05/2004:

1. BAD MEDICINE (9.5/10) (I'm on a bad mood, I will not set any 10)
2. WANTED (9.3/10)
3. BAD NAME (9/10)
4. ALWAYS (8.5/10)
5. EVERYDAY (8/10)
6. IT'S MY LIFE (7.5/10)
7. FAITH (7/10)
8. BORN TO BE MY BABY (6.5/10)
9. LAY YOUR HANDS ON ME (6/10)
10. I'LL BE THERE FOR YOU (5.5/10)
11. BED OF ROSES (3/10)
12. LIVIN' ON A PRAYER (2/10)

I liked it when it first came out.
Was fortunate to attend the DVD taping at the Borgata in Atlantic City.
I still like it 6 months later.

I LOVED it when I first heard it and still do. I'm in the minority and actually LIKE Living On A Prayer. I think the most improved version though from the original is definitely Everyday.

I hated it when it came out and I still hate it. It's boring and dull.

If no one would start talkging about it once in a while I had pushed it aside successfully.

This album doesn't exist for me.

It is great album for me, may be people don't like it coz they are too found of orginal version i guess. But it is nice album to hear when u don't feel like hearing same old songs. I especially like, 'Born to my baby, Bed of roses, Its my life and always.

for me that's not the reason. I liked earlier re-worked versions of songs like acoustic-songs, reggae-versions of KTF or IML or Prayer 94. I don't like TLFR because it's boring. I'm a rocker you know. TLFR takes me to sleep.

I don't really like the album, it is not that I hate it but I don't listen to it often because I just don't really like it. I didn't like the album at the begining and I still don't!
