Re: Bon Jovi Discussion
New album's on sale at Amazon for $5.00 today. I'll take the plunge for that amount.
Re: Bon Jovi Discussion
Early impressions (I'm only most of the way through the first listen): No matter what he writes, Jon seems to write songs that are enjoyable on some level. It's good to me to hear his voice.
But the album lacks guitars. It's heavily synthed and orchestrated. There's a lot of slower numbers, and the faster ones have an MOR sound to the production.
Army of One is a highlight. Amen manages to be pretty good. I'm going to need to give it more listens to fully absorb it. It's worth a fiver for sure.

Seems like alot of hard rock acts have tried, or are trying, to put out stuff with less guitar. Never seems to be popular though, wish they'd give it up already. It's like they're trying to force a trend that isn't going to happen.
Re: Bon Jovi Discussion
Whats Ironic is, Bon Jovi survived Grunge by not CHASING trends... and now that seem to be exactly what they are doing...
I honestly don't mind that they do. The Beatles did it, the Stones did it, Aerosmith did it. They're in good company. I just don't happen to like this trend. But it still sounds like Bon Jovi, so I can still dig it. This just isn't going to be my favorite BJ album is all.
