Title: Crush - good album, but not Bon Jovi's best
Review: When Bon Jovi declared that they were going back to their slippery when wet days, I was excited. Unfortunately, Crush is NOT a return to slippery when wet days, it is a modern pop-rock album. It is not dark and gloomy like These Days, but it does not rock like New Jersey/Slippery or even Keep The Faith. The lead single It's My Life is the most rocking track. Curiously, the 2 bonus tracks (Neurotica and I Could Make A Living Out Of Loving You) for Australian/Japanese versions are stronger than some filler tracks in the album. The second single to-be (Say It Isn't So) is catchy but does not rock hard. The best tracks are It's My Life, Just Older (classic Bon Jovi), the ballad Thank You For Loving Me and the final track One Wild Night. Some other tracks are okay and catchy (Say It Isn't So, Captain Crash) but the rest are just fillers.
Is the review positive or negative?
