Yes. Keep the faith and these days have lots of emotion and both have darkness too. Nothing can compare to the big four of Slippery, Jersey, Faith and These Days.

Probably These Days because the holy 4 albums are the ones that I constantly go back and listen to over and over again. Pretty much every post-2000 album has either been too patchy (Crush, Bounce, Burning Bridges) or didn't really connect enough with me.
I loved The Circle when it was released and was proud of it, but it's worn off quite a lot. Really enjoyed THINFS the first two or three months, but it's also fading rapidly. Still like it, but it hasn't even been released for a year, so I can't judge where I'll see it in two or three years time.

Tough for me between THINFS, LH and TD. I listen to This House completely through often more than the other two.

THINFS - still listening to it. I go back to Lost Highway also.

Me too. I don't get it and I am even more awed by the love for Burning Bridges. Both albums have made me appreciate What About Now for more than I thought I was capable.

I have enjoyed bits and pieces of every Bon Jovi album for what they are BUT "the last album that made me proud to be a fan" is definitely HAND. I haven't pushed BJ albums on my friends and family since HAND.

Burning Bridges has 3 or 4 songs with more feel and guitar prescence than anything post-These Days, it also has many fillers... THINFS is the pop-rock junk Jon used to criticize. Solid? For a pop record, yes...it's sadly IMO what Jovi have become 😓

This House Is Not For Sale

Because We Can

Although the s/t single was kind of MEH I certainly feel that there's STRONG songwriting on this album. The production sucks....

For me it is probably Have A Nice Day. Even though there have been moments since then that is the last album that sounded fresh and had a high number of good tracks that I still enjoy listening to now. Not saying it's my favourite but the last one I enjoyed as an album.

If you are talking about the last album thats consistent where 95% of it is pure brilliance then These Days.

The last album I find acceptable as a good solid album with a few poor tracks is Bounce.

All the others I only like about 5 or 6 songs on the albums.

The sound is horrible and too many fillers.
LWTG, DITT & GBTM are superb. BAT is good.
The rest are pretty poor.
