9. Shot Through the Heart
8. Runaway
7. She Don't Know Me
6. Roulette
5. Love Lies
4. Come Back
3. Get Ready
2. Burning for Love
1. Breakout

A pretty good album, but the production sounds so dated and flat. And Jons voice sound pretty nasal, and I don't like Richies guitar work at all, and to be honest I don't like the guitar work in the 80s. Some songs has among his best gutiarwork but I'm no big fan of the 1,000,000 note solos, with tapping and whammy bar.

But some songs are good ones, with some great lyrics and cool arangements. The arrangements sounds so young and naive! Shot Through the Heart is absolutely amazing and you can't help but love Runaway, and She Don't Know Me has a hell of a catchy chorus! 6 to 3 are decent songs, not perfect, but still OK. The bottom 2 sucks. It's just plain shit. Anyway, average BJ album!

Wow, an old album! I wasn't even born when this was already out!

OK, here I go:

9. She Don't Know Me (For me, the best one in the album, sadly it is a cover)
8. Get Ready (I kinda like this one, I don't get why so much hate on this one)
7. Love Lies (For me, lyrically, this one's the best)
6. Roulette (The first JB/RS song in BJ's discography!)
5. Shot Through The Heart
4. Runaway (The live version, both 1984~5 rock and 2000 slow acoustic versions are pretty awesome, but I think the studio version is not that good)
3. Breakout
2. Burning For Love
1. Come Back

I really enjoy the top 3, the rest are just OK songs for me that I rarely listen to so the difference (for me) bertween them in the ranking is near to nothing.

This too is my least favorite BJ record. I don't enjoy much from it, including Runaway. Every time I listen to it, it becomes more and more dated. I used to really enjoy She Don't Know Me... now, not so much. The majority of the album is just too similar. With the exception of Runaway, SDKM, STTH, and LL, the rest is just too much alike... same tempo, no dynamics, butt rock. I do think every song deserves a point though, so here it is:

9) Shot Through the Heart
Love Lies
7) Roulette
6) Runaway
5) Get Ready
4) Breakout
3) Burning For Love
2) Come Back
1) She Don't Know Me.

I can't believe some people consider this their least favourite album. What is Lost Highway then?
What I love about this album compared to current releases is that it is pure music. No computers with tons of loops and strange sounds. Five guys playing!

09. Runaway
08. Come Back
07. Shot Through The Heart
06. Burning For Love
05. Love Lies
04. She Don't Know Me
03. Roulette
02. Get Ready
01. Breakout

I remember when I bought this album. I had a new discman back then and I played this album again and again. I really love the first five song and I don't care for the least four. And I don't get what everyone has against Come Back, great song!

Finally, someone who appreciates this song! I don't see anything wrong with it, myself. I'm glad they played it on the Circle tour, it deserves to be played again after all these years.

Great album. I love every track on this record so I feel bad only giving low votes to some of the tracks. They are all great in my book. This is probably my least favourite of the 80's Jovi's albums but that is only because of how much I love 7800, Slippery and Jersey. I want the big hair, big hooks and hard rock back...

9. Runaway
8. Roulette
7. Shot Through The Heart
6. Burning For Love
5. Breakout
4. Love Lies
3. Get Ready
2. Come Back
1. She Don't Know Me

For me it also least favourite album. I like for example LHighway much more. It's ok. Nothing special but has some good songs which I really like.

Very Good:
9) Runaway
Shot Through The Heart
7) Roulette
6) Breakout
5) Come Back - I really like this one and I don't know why some people hate it.

OK:
4) Love Lies
3) Burning For Love

;/
0) Get Ready
0) She Don't Know Me - They shouldn't record that song. I think it's awful. Jon sound so gay and I don't know how this could be second single.
