Does anyone concur with me on this analysis?

Hell no because These Days is ****ing awesome and HAND is one of my favourites (even if it's not quite as good when I try to view Bon Jovi objectively... HA!). ;)
It's not the production; that didn't even come to mind when I first listened to this (age 16 or 17). I just found the songs (apart from Hardest Part) really bland for some reason. Over time it's grown on me and, while I don't listen to the album all that often, I like most of the songs without necessarily LOVING them. |
