BON JOVI - stub review added 24th October 2008
Album Review: New Jersey (1988)
For fans of: hard rock... and schizophrenic albums
The first three songs are absolute classics but, from then on, it sounds like Bon Jovi couldn't be bothered. 'I`ll Be There For You' is a fine song, but it's merely a Mars bar in a bowl of poops.
Bon Jovi, in 1988, were flying on the success of Slippery When Wet. Anything they produced was going to sell. Shame they couldn't have spent a couple more months producing a more rounded album, and therefore a couple of less months taking the pee out of their fans.
