Negative Positive
Title: Highly Overrated!
Review: When I first wrote a review for this album I was a little "hard" on Bon Joi and this disc. After reading my review several times I realized this wasn't a "bad" album, it's just that it sold a lot more copies than I thought it would. I just don't understand why Bon Jovi has remaind so popular while other bands like Dokken and Ratt have not enjoyed that level of success. Was Bon Jovi that much different than Ratt or Dokken? Of course not! Those three bands first appeared during the '80s and pretty much recorded the same kind of music (hard rock). Although this album does contain some of Bon Jovi's best tunes (Wanted Dead or Alive and You Give Love a Bad Name) those songs are really no better than Dokken's In My Dreams or Ratt's Round and Round. Ratt and Dokken may have rocked a little "harder" than Bon Jovi, but if you compare this album to Ratt's Out Of The Cellar or Dokken's Under Lock And Key I feel the Ratt and Dokken albums are much stronger and contain better songs.
Is the review positive or negative?
