7800 and These Days are the only two Bon Jovi records I consistently go back to and listen head to toe. I don't think it's Bon Jovi's best by any means, but the mood is there, it's dark, heavy and atmospheric. Overall, pretty much one of the best records to be released by anyone between 1981 and 1985, before Slippery When Wet came along and shook up the hard rock landscape. Hilarious that it's the same band.

Happy birthday 7800!
