My opinion on the album has changed somewhat, as I was afraid it was gonna be horrendous, and was quite surprised to like it. That being said, I think it breaks in half more then any other Jovi record. The first six songs are all quite good IMO, but most of the second half is absolute crap IMO.

15. Any other Day
14. (You Want To) Make A Memory
13. Whole Lot of Leaving
12. Lost Highway
11. Summertime
10. We Got It Going On
9. I love This Town
8. The Last Night
7. Walk Like A Man
6. Put The Boy Back In Cowboy

1. Everybody's Broken
0. One Step Closer
0. Till We Ain't Strangers Anymore
0. Seat Next To you

It's a bit "samey" but I've got a real soft spot for this album and it will always remind me of my first ever Bon Jovi show.

15 - Make a Memory
14 - Walk Like a Man
13 - Any Other Day
12 - Lost Highway
11 - Whole Lot of Leavin'
10 - One Step Closer
9 - Til We Ain't Strangers Anymore
8 - Lonely
7 - Summertime
6 - Everybody's Broken
5 - The Last Night
4 - Seat Next to You
3 - Put the Boy Back in Cowboy
2 - We Got It Goin' On
1 - I Love This Town

I remember hearing how George Carlin described his religious history once. He said he really, really, really tried to believe in God, as hard as he could, but in the end he just couldn't sell himself short enough to do it. That pretty much sums up my history with this album. I tried to find as many good things as I could on it, but in the end there's only 3 songs I think would make any other album, outside of Bounce. I see it as a concept album, nothing more, a nice experiment that I'm glad they're proud of. Enough.

I think Whole Lot Of Leavin' is a genuinely great song, and hope it stays around in sets. Chances are they'll play Lost Crapway and WGIGO instead though, which is a shame, because both are terrible, terrible songs outside of their guitar solos. Any Other Day is vastly overrated, and Jon has basically destroyed any goodwill it built amongst fans, but it and Memory are both good songs. The only other track I particularly like on this album is, oddly enough, One Step Closer. I realize it's mediocre by Jovi standards, but shit, I like the chorus. So....


14. Whole Lot Of Leavin'
13. Any Other Day
12. Make A Memory
11. One Step Closer
10. Walk Like A Man

01. The Last Night
00. Everybody's Broken
00. Lonely
00. We Got It Goin' On
00. Seat Next To You
00. I Love This Town
00. Put The Boy Back Cowboy
00. Lost Highway

00. Summertime
00. Till We Aint Strangers Anymore

I would give the last two negative points if possible. It's not that Strangers is even a bad song; indeed it would be quite good if the country ditz wasn't singing in it. But that music video basically destroyed the song for me.

14. Any Other Day
13. Everybody's Broken
12. We Got It Gon' On
11. (You Want To) Make A Memory
10. Whole Lot Of Leavin'
9. I Love This Town

7. Till We Ain't Strangers Anymore
6. Summertime
5. Seat Next To You
4. One Step Closer
3. Put The Boy Back In Cowboy
2. Walk Like A Man
1. Lonely

I've put Walk Like A Man 2nd because i've only heard it once and wasn't fussed on it. I will give it another go tonight though. Infact, i'll put it on now.

Edit: Wow, i've just listened to it! How isn't that on the album. I must of listened to something completely different because i really liked listening to that. I might have to re-arrange my ranking :D I wont, because i can't be bothered but anyway...

15. (You Wanna) Make A Memory
14. The Last Night
13. Put The Boy Back In Cowboy

Did you intentionally leave out Lost Highway?

15pts. Walk Like A Man
14pts. Whole Lot Of Leavin'
13pts. Any Other Day
12pts. Lost Highway
11pts. Lonely
10pts. Put The Boy Back In Cowboy
09pts. (You Want To) Make A Memory
08pts. I Love This Town

0pts for the rest.

I don't think that even the best songs on here should receive the maximum amount of points because they just can't compete with other albums top songs. Also, I honestly don't think I have a favorite off of LH so I guess it would go something like this:

10. Whole Lot of Leavin'
09. Lost Highway
08. (You Want to) Make A Memory
07. We Go It Goin' On (only makes it because I listen to it before I go out--if I had to listen to it seriously, 0pts)
06. Any Other Day (highly over-rated amongst the members of this board)


0 Points:
Put The Boy Back In Cowboy
Walk Like A Man
Lonely
I Love This Town
The Last Night
Til We Aint Strangers No More
Everybody's Broken
Summertime
Seat Next To You
One Step Closer

My work here is done :)
