These Days is Bon Jovi's sixth studio album, and was released on June 27, 1995. This was the first album Bon Jovi released after the leaving of bassist Alec John Such. Hugh McDonald unofficially replaced Such as bassist. The album produced by Peter Collins, was an overall darker album in contrast to the band's usual brand of feel good, inspiring rock songs and love ballads. In the UK, the album was particularly notable for producing four Top 10 hit singles. The high sales of the album in Europe warranted a re-issue of the album under the name of "These Days Special Edition" a year after its original release.
