I'm in the mood for it sometimes. I don't think it was such a bad idea. Quite original and a different side to Bon Jovi. I quite like it. It'll never be my favourite album but that's okay.

However, I do think they should have gone for the recording of the Borgata show live and release it as the album. The meaning of the whole thing is much appreciated live. And I like the songs much better in the DVD. There's much more feeling to them in there

It took me a while to actually like TLFR, which is unusual with most Bon Jovi albums. I think it was with listening to the new Prayer, (one of the worst Bon Jovi songs released IMO) which put me off at first. But after that I decided to listen to it without thinking of the originals and without thinking of Bon Jovi as the band that have always written big stadium rock songs. This defiantly made it easier for me to listen to. It's also good to know that this was a one off record, we won't get anything like this again, and playing these songs live is highly unlikely.

I still don't think it's a 'bad' album, there's a lot on there that I don't like but there's also a lot that I thought sounded cool.

The DVD was great, for me, it goes to prove that Bon Jovi can make anything sound good live.

Aloha !

It's a terrible album, there's nothing amazing about it as most people claim "it's amazing they're capable of doing something like that" since it's very simple to rearrange your songs, there's nothing special about it. The production is lame, it all sounds like a bunch of midifiles compressed together in one format. There's no real music on it, no emotion, and it's just all very lame. I thought all this when it was released and I still think it is. If people will ask me of which record I'm most embarrassed of having it on my CD shelf this will be the one.

I don't have anything against re-arranged songs, I love the acoustic versions of Born To Be My Baby, I'd Die For You, the acoustic/electric re-arrangement of Prayer plus the reggae version of KTF still rocks even while it's reggae, but the re-arrangements on This Left Feels Right are plain boring.

And I can't even get to sleep with this.

Salaam Aleikum,
Sebastiaan

I still like it. Nothing has changed. Good album.

Inexplicapbly, I often find myself humming the humming bit out of Born To Be By Baby 2003 at the most random times.....

Keep On Rockin'

It will never be my favourite, but it is okay. I like quite a few of the songs, but I must admit I don't listen to it a lot.
