Say It Isnt So = 140 07. Captain Crash & The Beauty Queen From Mars = 128 08. Thank You For Loving Me = 114 09. Mystery Train = 112 10. Neurotica = 111 11. Save The World = 69 12. I Got The Girl = 68 13. I Could Make A Living Out Of Lovin You = 37 14.

The thing I like most about these track ranking threads is that I listen to each album from start to finish all over again, like im listening to them for the time. It's always refreshing.
14pt] Its My Life 13pt] Thank You For Loving Me 12pt] One Wild Night 11pt] Next 100 Years 10pt] Save The World 9pt] Just Older 8pt] Say It Isnt So 7pt] Neurotica 6pt] Captain Crash & the Beauty Queen From Mars 5pt] Two Story Town 4pt] I Got The Girl 3pt] I Could Make A Living Out Of Lovin You 2pt] Mystery Train 1pt] She's A Mystery I think TYFLM gets judged way too harshly on this board. The verses arent too inspiring but I love how the chorus and bridge builds. And I actually like Save the World for the same reason. When it hits the climax I think it's pretty good. She's a Mystery has to be my least favourite Bon Jovi track on a studio album. Mystery Train isnt far behind. And as for Say It Isn't So... I think it's got to be the most riskiest single the band have released. It's completely different to any of their other stuff. I'd rank it as one of the most unique Jovi songs. |
14 - It's My Life
13 - Just Older 12 - Next 100 Years 11 - Neurotica 10 - Thank You For Loving Me 09 - Captain Crash & the Beauty Queen from Mars 08 - One Wild Night 07 - Say It Isn't So 06 - Two Storey Town 05 - Mystery Train 04 - Save The World 03 - I Got The Girl 02 - She's a Mystery 01 - I Could Make A Living Out Of Loving You The title track is great live and a real crowd pleaser. It brought BJ back to the wider public and created a whole new generation of fans. Neurotica an awesome underated song and IMO one of their best tracks post 2000. Also watching Captain Crash at Lisbon Last tour brought home how well the song goes down live, I had a quick turn around to see 60,000 people waving their arms back and forth, it was an amazing sight. Crush is not really an album I listen to a lot so I couldn't really place songs from 7pts down, they could quite easily be in either order from me. |
14 Neurotica
13 Next 100 Years 12 Its My Life 11 One Wild Night 10 I Could Make A Livin 09 Two Story Town 08 I Got The Girl 07 Save The World 06 Mystery Train 05 Say it isn’t so 04 Just older 03 Capt Crash 02 Shes a mystery 01 Thank you for loving me Really average album for me.

I say solo I mean 1 second of guitar. real lazy effort from the band. The video sucks as well. Everything I hate about modern Jovi in one song! |

I believe I ranked Crush as my second favorite album. Anyway here goes..
14pt] Say It Isn't So 13pt] Next 100 Years 12pt] One Wild Night 11pt] Just Older 10pt] Neurotica 9pt] Two Story Town 8pt] Mystery Train 7pt] I Got The Girl 6pt] Thank You For Loving Me 5pt] It's My Life 4pt] Captain Crash & The Beauty Queen From Mars 3pt] Save The World 2pt] I Could Make A Living Out Of Loving You 1pt] She's A Mystery I had trouble ranking the songs because I love every one of them from I Got The Girl upwards and many of them I consider equal with each other. I'd say Crush is the most diverse album Bon Jovi has released and while it's one of their more poppy ones it's also surprisingly experimental. Tracks like Say It Isn't So, Next 100 Years and Two Story Town all have some interesting structures that you probably wouldn't find in a typical 00's pop rock album. Lyrically it's nothing mind-blowing. You've got the typical Jovi lyrics. But the melodies are so freakin' catchy. And the instrumentation in general is way more creative than on any other of their 00's albums. I adore Say It Isn't So. IMO it's the perfect pop rock song. Next 100 Years is just as good but I decided to give the 14 points to SIIS 'cause it probably won't score many of those. 100 Years has the most creative guitarwork from Richie we've seen in the 21st century. The outro with the horns is just brilliant. One Wild Night just rocks with a great riff. Just Older, Neurotica.. equals. Two Story Town is a song rarely talked about.. I really like it even though it has a generic chord progression played in a generic way. Mystery Train's solo is great and it's very atmospheric all in all. Love the outro. I Got The Girl is very underrated. The lyrics make me cringe at times but I love the bassline and the guitar is very Tom Petty-esque. Thank You For Loving Me is not nearly as bad as people seem to make it out to be. Sure it's not as powerful as TAALS or BOR but it still has a great chorus. The guitar is very lacking though. Not much to say about the rest of the songs except that IML.. well I'm just so freakin' tired of it. I can't even listen to it anymore. It's an important song though and I won't deny that it's a great one but yeah.. I'm pretty much done with it other than the TFLR version. Save The World always seems to be completely overshadowed by Mystery Train so that's why it's so low.. oh and She's A Mystery is complete garbage. I really love this album so I felt like writing a bit more about it. :) |
