Objectively, the Keep the Faith album, like all Bon Jovi albums (New Jersey excluded) has about 4-5 great songs and the rest are weak attempts to mimic the 4-5 great songs.
All of these songs - save Bed of Roses and In These Arms - are much better with the live versions. Milton Keyes 1993, particularly.

The outtakes from this album - Starting All Over Again, Radio Saved My Life Tonight, The Fire Inside, Fields of Fire, Cadillac Man, We All Sleep Alone, House of Fire* (NJ Demo?) - could have easily replaced the weak songs like Women In Love, Little Bit Of soul, Sleep When I’m Dead, Blame It On The Love.

The album did resurrect Bon Jovi at the height of grunge.

With this track list, it would have been (almost) as perfect as New Jersey

1. The Fire Inside
2. Starting All Over Again
3. Radio Saved My Life Tonight
4. Fields of Fire (Richie co-singing like on An Evening With...)
5. I Believe
6. Keep The Faith
7. Fear
8. If I Was Your Mother
9. In These Arms
10. Bed Of Roses
11. I Want You
