THINFS of course is also very personally inspired but in a different way and there were still social themes.
When BJ abandoned relationship songs (almost completely) after LH something simply got lost that was a big part of Jovi for me. I just can't care for lyrics like Working Man, WWBTF, BWC, Whats Left of Me, WAN etc.

I mean HAND would have started that trend. Wildflower, Last Cigarette and maybe Novocaine are the only ones that touch on that. I noticed they followed a one off one on trend for a bit. Bounce had a lot of love songs, HAND had very little, LH had 'em, The Circle had nothin, WAN had plenty etc.
