I was 9 years old when I bought that album - suffice to say, it was the first album I ever bought (hence my nickname ? duh...).

I remember my dad advising me to buy the CD instead of the cassette but I was so eager to listen to it right away in his car that I decided to buy the tape instead (only to buy the Special Edition CD a year later and the remasterd album in 98 or 99). So yeah, you got it - I bought These Days three times. Worth every penny

It still stands (IMO) as the BEST Bon Jovi album ever in every aspect. But that's just me.
