Crush - Bon Jovi

Or so "Just Older" from the latest Bon Jovi album tells us. Crush is an excellent piece of work, everything that you would expect from Bon Jovi, and just that little bit more to remind us of how good they are, and always have been. This is the album we all have been waiting for since "These Days" and it’s well worth the wait. Those of you who attended the Crush tour 2000 will know what I’m talking about when I say these songs are nothing short of brilliant, both live, and while driving! The first song on the album is "It’s my life", and to quote Jon, it is the most self indulgent piece that they ...  Read the complete review

Wow what can I say? I am biased though. This album just gets more fantastic the more I play it and the louder it gets!!! Much to the rest of the families disgust! Alot of the songs on this album have a more mature but while at it better all round sound. I think Bon Jovi are like a vintage wine just getting better!! Personally I love say it isn't so! But when push comes to shove I can not choose one particular song that I prefer above the others. It depends what mood I am in the first release Its My life got loads of play on our local radio station which was lovely to hear. The album was the first one solely recorded in the home town of New Jersey. Jons voice just ...  Read the complete review

Still pumping out the songs after all these years, their first album for ages, was well worth the wait. 'Crush' contains 13 songs including their recent hit, 'it's my life' and a good selection of other tracks including the new release 'say it isn't so' and a nice slushy number called 'thank you for loving me', which reminds me of the 80's style long permed haired Bon Jovi's songs such as 'never say goodbye'(from slippery when wet). This album is a must for Bon Jovi fans both old and new and just shows that this old 'boy band' has got what it takes to beat all the new ones. ...  Read the complete review

I don’t normally go for rock, but this was a worthwhile purchase. There is a decent set of tracks, here, with the odd fantastic one. One Wild Night is an awesome rocker of a track, with a strange, but still rather entertaining, introduction. Save The World is it’s equivalent, boasting just as much brilliance but a slower, gentle, uplifting style. Bon Jovi’s first single, It’s my life, is also very good, and Say It Isn’t So is excellent too. It’s not all brilliant, though, with She’s A Mystery being the worst song on the album. I also have to question the necessity of the line “Ladies and gentleman, ...  Read the complete review

The long-awaited new album from Bon Jovi is.....different. I haven;t quite made my mind up about it, but the more I listen to it the more I like it. The first track on the album - "It's my Life" is more of the Bon Jovi that we all know and love, but the rest of the album seems to be a bit more poppy than their previous ones. A lot of the songs are about the same old thing again - all Bon Jovi seem to really qrite about are falling in and out of love or cowboys. Having said that, thank you for loving me is quite a good track, as is 'next 100 years'. The album as a whole is by no means a dissapointment to me, it's just that ...  Read the complete review
