Out of the four I'd say What Do You Got? and No Apologies have been the ones I go back to. The More Things Change has grown on me after I initially quite disliked it.

I don't hear any twang on it TBH. Sounds more Crush-like to me.

No Apologies for me. I actually now think that's a REALLY good track.

"Baby just like freedom, nothing's free"

That one of my favourite lines out of any of the bands catalogue.

What do you got still seems bland to me, i see it more as an album track

No apologies i dont really care for on the record, i think it has more appeal as a live song

This is love this is life, should be brilliant...its what jovi do best feelgood pop rock with a chorus that makes you want to sing, dissapointing that couldnt be carried over live

The more things change, i still like, clever lyrics and one that can be performed live, i actually think this should have been the lead single

I would have said, What Do You Got, but lately I've been on a This Is Love, This Is Life kick...didn't really care much for it when I purchased the GH II but now I love it...odd, lol!

I still periodically cycle through the four songs with the current favorite rotating between the four. Right now I really like TILTIL

I was pretty disappointed with all the GH tracks to be honest, sticking four songs that all sound suspiciously like rejected b-sides from The Circle sessions wasn't their greatest move

TILTIL and No Apologies are both alright. I like the contrast in No Apologies of the softer storytelling verses and the heavier bluntness of the chorus. TILTIL is probably the best song melodically, and the electronic sound kinda works, although it was used much better five years before on Dirty Little Secret

The More Things Change is quite a fun little song, although the chorus is a little weak and the concept is recycled from Last Man Standing

What Do You Got is just awful, and whoever came up with the idea of it being the lead single was an idiot. The best bit is the outro, it's wasted on the rest of the song

And although no one has mentioned it, I do actually quite like This Is Our House...

The line 'The more things change, the more they stay the same' is said in Resident Evil 6. I had a laugh.
