Anyone heard the new Bon Jovi ?

[Bryant]

Heard "Have a Nice Day" on the radio and I like it. Not too much on the glam scene (though Bon Jovi really shouldn't be lumped there, though they are by many) but I always respected BJ for writing cool stuff and sticking to their guns. That song rips !! Anyone have the album it's from ? Pleases review it for me.

No good after the first couple of listenings. Sorry. I love the Bon Jovi Stuff up to Crush (one of the best !), but this new album is again a disappointment. For a proper review I would need to play it again, but hey, I will do it. Give me a day ot two.

I heard it through Pabla, though I do not own it. But we will see them in March. Scored 10th row :hotjump: tix in Fresno for $130 each. Tix in nosebleed were $110 so that auction paid off. In L.A. we are not so lucky to get decent seats so we've opted to see just the show in Fresno.

I enjoyed the album, great stuff, meaningful and full of uplifting words of strength, love and courage. I don't own any BJ, but always enjoyed their first few releases.

As a major Bon Jovi fangirl (just ask to see my tattoo ) I recomend this album 100%... it is their best since "Keep the Faith" and it keeps the momentum throughout the whole disc "Have a nice day" is the album's name and you can find it very well priced at any store ( I bought mine for 11.99).

I'll give you a full review when I am not at work sweetie

What about the music ?

Ok, I would call myself a minor Bon Jovi fanguy. I´ve seen them 4 times live, got all the albums. My wife by the way would also call herself a major Bon Jovi fangirl, doesn´t miss a concert whereever she has a chance to go. Still wondering though what she REALLY like about the band ... ok, other topic

So, I am playing it right now the second time this evening (on headphones btw, my wife is watching sex and the city for the 144th time, you see what I mean ?). Anyway, I am not sure what you mean with it keeps the momentum throughout the whole disc, maybe exactly that is the problem. There are no real highlights. Pretty cool are "Have a nice day", "Last man standing", "last cigarette" and "I am", however, I always think I have already heard it somewhere before. If I don´t stay fully concentrated, I miss the songs end and beginning. It is just nothing new although well made songs. "Bells of Freedom" is "Mystery Train" with other words. That is why I would rate it disappointing, like Bounce. I will enjoy reading your review, I am no good in doing reviews.

My favorite BJs are the first album, New Jersey and Crush.

Hahahaha! Your wife sounds like a fun gal... I think I can relate to her on going to see BJ as much as possible... not only do they play great music... but THE HAIR DUDE! IT IS FAB!

My fave BJ's are 7800, New Jersey, KTF, These Days and HAND... I am surprised that Crush is a fav of yours as it did not have too much of a good reception... I did not like it myself that much either.... I'll have to go back and give it a spin... haven't listened to it in about 2 yrs

As to that review I'll try to do it by this weekend... been just so very busy

Hmmm.... looks like mixed reviews. THat's about what I expected. I put it on my "buy" list, but it's pretty far down. Sometimes I need a break from my "normal" purchases but I think the newest Son Volt might top the list of that.
