Rating: - Bon Jovi's Bouncing up the chart with pure perfection Baby!
...Well Today is OCT 8th... BON Jovi has just released their 8th studio album, and it's like Christmas all over again! And the guys of Bon jovi delivered brought me more then i could ever imagine. This cd is about optimisim, about allowing yourself to look towards the fututre in these troubled and uncertain times. Never is this more evident then on the first two tracks UNDIVDED and the bands first single everyday. the fourth track is mid tempo, but masterfully displays the amazing songwriting talent of Richie Sambora and Jon Bon Jovi... The ballads are awesome too. Some of the best since their mega hit Always. If All about loving you gets released as a single ever, I'm sure it will be a wedding song for all future brides. Some other stand out rockers are LOVE ME Back to life, the disatance and Hook me up. I can not recommend this CD enough. There is a reason why this band has been around for 20 years, and sure to break the 100 millon selling album mark with Bounce. These guys simply are talented!! Pure and simple. So forget about your boy bands your pop princesses and your angry rappers people, go for TALENT instead and buy BOUNCE. YOU WILL NOT BE Sorry!
Rating: - Bouncing Back
The new Bon Jovi album is a well rounded pop rock record with something for every fan both young and old. After the last two more mellow efforts this album has some rousing arena rockers in Undivided, Hook Me Up, Everyday, and The Distance. There are also the wonderfully corny but heartfelt ballads that you come to expect from Bon Jovi such as All About Loving You, You Had Me From Hello and Open All Night. A nice surprise are some numbers that fall in between. Misunderstood is a tribute to every husband who has ever been in the doghouse. Joey is musically inspired by Elton John and lyrically tells the story of a friendship with someone with a disability that is sweet and touching. Right Side of Wrong, a modern Butch Cassidy story, has a Tom Waits meets Billy Joel feel. This album does have some 9/11 inspired tracks but unlike The Rising which deals with specific stories from the event, songs such as Undivided, Bounce and Everyday speak to the sense of hope and unity that our country felt in those terrible days afterwards and our resiliance and resolve as a nation to live our lives to the fullest and make each moment count. Diehard and casual Bon Jovi fans alike will not be disappointed.
Rating: - Bounce Review
Bounce - I honestly think is one of the best, hard hitting, classic rock and roll albums.This is truley - Bon Jovi at their best. It's nice to hear moving lyrics as in One for you, One for all, and we're Undivided. Fantastic song, very catchy. Hearing Richie Sambora's rips on the guitar, makes you tap your foot, and sing along, playing some air guitar. The album has 2 Songs, which are a reflection from September 11,2001. The first being Undivided. It's a hard very energized song, about loosing people in the world trade center. Everday- which is the current Single- is about taking advantage of what we learned from 9/11 and living our lives everday. The ballads- You had me from Hello- Could be anyone. It's a great love song-ranking with I'll be there for you, bed of Roses. Open all night- makes you want to move your body. It's fun song, much like One Wild Night.
