Here's my thing with HAND and LH.
HAND has less bad songs than LH (2 for HAND, 3 OR 4 for LH) and I do really like the stuff on HAND, but the best stuff on LH is slightly better than the best on HAND imo.
In any case, I like all of Jovi's albums, but there is def. two teirs of Jovi albums.
The top five (Jersey, Faith, Slippery, Crush, These Days) and then the rest are a level below IMHO.
Still good, sometimes GREAT, but not as consistently great as the top 5.

I have a soft spot for Bounce. It has the second best 'sound' of the albums in my opinion (HAND being the first) it's just really inconsistent, like Crush.

It's funny you say that Seb - I actually liken Story of My Life to a great Bon Jovi song. It's actually one my favorites of the past decade. I love the licks in it and I really like Jon's vocals.

Aloha !

Story Of My Life is exactly what is wrong with Bon Jovi. It's just another rehash of past successes and a mix of Just Older and The Radio Saved My Life Tonight. Just Older for it's talk about life in general and it's approach to it, and Radio because of the bridge they do in it when they're played live. It's the typical Jon trying to be intimate with it's audience while talking crap over some piano medley, which also happens during Older and Radio. And to top things, they even cloned Story Of My Life by doing Last Cigarette, which is just a copy of all 3 songs mentioned before.

But while The Radio Saved My Life Tonight and Just Older just have good lyrics about where Jon is in his life, Story Of My Life has nothing of that. A 40 year old singing about how yesterday's a memory and another page of history sounds like a 15 year old talking about the last day at school. It's not what 40 year olds should be writing about, and just another showcase of Jon trying to write for 15 year olds, instead of him writing about his own life and experiences. When Jon writes with a thought of what other people might like, he fails. When he writes about what inspires him, he succeeds.

Salaam Aleikum,
Sebastiaan

My fave is surely Bounce. I love parts, when Jon and Richie are singing together. It's great. And those heavy guitars. There are some weak songs, but majority is amazing... And climat. I looove

Bounce
Crush
Have A Nice Day/Lost Highway

But it's quite strange.. I think every album has its good side.
