Of course, on the other other hand, that might have meant that the band didn't continue trying to appeal to the more casual market, as they seem to have done from Crush onwards, so that might not have been a bad thing.

Crush was only such a big success because of It's My Life and Bon Jovi being away for so long. Had It's My Life not been the first single, but Say It Isn't So (which they wanted to be the first single) it wouldn't have sold half as many copies. The songs on Crush have nothing to do with what the people wanted. The people just wanted the album with It's My Life on it. If the songs on Crush were the reason of the success of Crush, why didn't Say It Isn't So and Thank You For Loving Me bring Crush back in the charts?
