I prefer 7800 to Bon Jovi. And I mentioned in the other thread that I think Always Run To You is one of the most under rated Bon Jovi songs. Killer chorus. I actually enjoy the top 3 songs I've listed.

I love and enjoy the top 4 of this list, 6 is IMO a very good song; 5 and 4 are good songs and 2 and 1 are aweful songs.

I only frequently listen to the first 2 songs, and occasionally the next 2. Other than that, a mediocre album.

(10.) Tokyo Road
(9.) Only Lonely
(8.) The Hardest Part Is The Night
(7.) In And Out Of Love
(6.) Silent Night
(5.) The Price Of Love
(4.) Always Run To You
(3.) King Of The Mountain
(2.) Secret Dreams
(1.) (I Don’t Wanna Fall) Into The Fire

Hardest part is the night
Price of love
Secret dreams
Run to you
Only lonely
Tokyo road
In and out of love
Silent night
I don't wanna fall
King if the mountain

Love this album.
Some of the bands best stuff musically.
Don't know why people don't like it. I love it.
Better than anything released after These Days.

I also prefer this album to the debut. Silent Night is brilliant. And the guitar Richie uses on the music video is so freaking beautiful.

The top 4 songs are songs that I frequently listen to but the rest are just meh.. I could live without them.

I like this album. Nothing special but i have great memories with it. I get it for christmas 2001.

This was my first Bon Jovi CD, if not my first CD ever... back in the summer of 1993. I have loved the album ever since, always brings back great memories. It offers some great music and lyrics, it is a very creative album and therefore much better than the a bit bland debut. I wouldn't be a fan if every album would sound like this and it's clear that they were on the search for their sound, but for what it is, I really connect to the album.

The top 3 is actually brilliant, and the rest is very solid stuff. The only song I never got into is "Secret Dreams", it's the worst BJ song for me - next to "She Don't Know Me", but that's not self-written.
Always liked "King Of The Mountain", cool chorus. Same goes for "Always Run To You" - it's mighty.

Towards "Silent Night" I always had ambivalent feelings. Around the same time I got the album I bought the bootleg from Cincinnatti 1987 with that 10 minute version, which I always thought was pretty cool, but the keyboard sound of the album version and the title track (come on, it's a christmas song!) always made it hard for me to take it serious. So when I'm thinking about the BJ ballads, I usually start with "Never Say Goodbye", but "Silent Night" is an overlooked gem. When I'm in the right mood, it's a powerful and really good track.
