My album ranking after listening to all album tracks, rating them and letting the average song rating represent the album.

1. These Days
2. Slippery When Wet
3. New Jersey
4. Keep The Faith
5. Crush
6. Have A Nice Day
7. The Circle
8. Bounce
9. 2020
10. Lost Highway
11. Bon Jovi
12. This House Is Not For Sale
13. What About Now
14. Burning Bridges
15. 7800° Fahrenheit

Surprises: Slippery used to be my number 4. / Crush is surprisingly high. / 2020 cleary profits from its production in comparison to THINFS and WAN, but might be overrated (new album syndrome).

2020, The Circle and Crush are really close. Will need to wait at least a year + the deluxe version to really judge 2020 properly. HAND and Bounce are pretty close too.

WAN gets a bad wrap. THINFS is better than I remember, especially when including Walls and When We Were Us.

SWW and KTF will always be better than NJ and TD in my opinion

Seriously, not to sound rude but are you deaf? Or was this list generated randomly? How can anyone say Slippery When Wet is the band's 4th worse album? Your bottom 5 albums are stronger than the top 5 IMO.

Anyways....

Tier 1
1. New Jersey
2. These Days
3. Slippery When Wet
4. Keep the Faith

Tier 2
5. Crush
6. Bon Jovi
7. Have a Nice Day
8. The Circle

Tier 3
9. Bounce
10. Fahrenheit
11. This House is Not for Sale

Tier 4
12 Lost Highway
13. What About Now
14. 2020
15. Burning Bridges

I may be in the minority but I think The Circle still holds up well. Fast Cars is the only song that I need to skip, and songs like Superman Tonight, Brokenpromiseland, Love's the Only Rule, Happy Now, etc. hold up well for me. Burning Bridges isn't terrible, but it's the album I've listened to the least and none of the songs have really stuck with me. The bottom 4 albums on my list are all really close, I hated Lost Highway at the time but at least it has Any Other Day. If Keep the Faith had kicked out Woman in Love and Fear for Radio and Miss 4th of July it arguably could've been number 1 or 2, but the poor decisions on the 2nd half put it just below the rest of the top tier.

Because music is subjective and not everyone likes the same things....

You have it 3rd?

You'd think he had it bottom & you have it top with the way you've reacted.

Lol

And about "The Circle"-
Agree. Apart from Fast Cars, it does have the awful "Love/Live" twins of "Live before you die" & "Learn to Love". And the cringe overload of "Work for the Working Man" ["..they took my ID"]. Ah, well.

I guess my language did come across too strong and I meant it to stated in jest, so my apologies. I just couldn't believe my eyes when I saw that something thinks that 2020 and What About Now are better albums than New Jersey and Slippery When Wet, two of my favorite albums ever that were certified 7x and 12x Platinum, cumulatively produced 7 number 1 hits, and were the reason this band became famous. But hey, if someone else is able to enjoy these new albums more that is a good thing, and more power to you. I guess it's just a testament to how good of a band Bon Jovi is that they can attract fans with such different music tastes.
