Okay, I realize that you can't always judge how good an album is by the soundbytes, but I listened to the soundbytes of Bon Jovi's latest album, and I just don't see it sounding any different from Crush or Bounce. I really dig Have A Nice Day....that song can be a classic! I just don't know about the other ones.

I also realize that hardcore BJ fans are going to say that the album is much better than the soundbytes and you can't go wrong with buying the album, but what about those of us, like myself, who feel Bon Jovi's last really good album was Keep The Faith? I have both Crush and Bounce and think they're okay for a few songs, but nothing like SWW or NJ. What would make me feel that this album is a must by and worlds better than the last two?

I feel the EXACT same way you do. Crush and Bounce don't do much for me, but I grabbed HAND anyway. It is MUCH better than the last two.

Greggie, PM me and I will email you a copy of Last Man Standing so you can judge for yourself.

Hey thanks! I've sent ya pm....
