Crush by Bon Jovi

Pros: Interesting
Cons: A bit peculiar

I’ve been a Bon Jovi fan for what feels like most of my life. (If you want to get technical and picky about it, it has been over half.) Their early albums, when they were releasing an album and doing a tour every year, I waited for with bated breath ...

Pros: Bon Jovi isn't dead yet. Signs of life on It's My Life and One Wild Night
Cons: A wussier band does not mean a better album

Bon Jovi's latest album Crush finds the band attempting to reclaim the rock world that they had owned for so long during the '80s. Unfortunately the results aren't always as good we've come to expect. Crush has some good moments, but this is...

Pros: Four good songs
Cons: A very incomplete, incoherent, poorly written and produced album with some absolutely awful songs

CRUSH (2000) Time passed quickly after THESE DAYS. Jon released a solo album in 1997, as did Richie in 1998. While Richie toured his solo album in 1998, Jon had already written a bunch of new songs, many of them with friend and ...

Pros: lot of great songs, rock 'n' roll style, Richie Sambora
Cons: a couple of songs I don't like

The first track off of Bon Jovi's newest album Crush, It's My Life, is getting tons of airplay lately and with good reason. It is a refreshing sound compared to the pop that is being over played every single day on the radio and in...

Pros: Instant classics like "It's My Life", "Just Older" and "Mystery Train".
Cons: Songs like "Thank You For Loving Me" and "One Wild Night"

I couldn't believe it. Here I was going on my very first European trip, seven days away from home -- and I forgot my CDs. All of them. I didn't have a single thing to listen to. Granted, enough adventure was had that I didn't need the CDs most of the...

Pros: Bon Jovi is back, they still sound good
Cons: some songs are seriously lacking something, lyrics need help in many cases

Before the release of the album “Crush”, many speculated about how it would sound. Everyone’s biggest fear was that it wouldn’t sound like the Bon Jovi they knew and loved, that it would be too mainstream; something that the kiddies would love,...

Pros: Very good pop-rock album
Cons: Not for 70's hard-rock fans

First of all, let's find out, is it pop or rock?
Bon Jovi was formed like a commercial hard-rock group that finally broke into the market with its Slippery When Wet. Since that Jon and the company has made many good hits (I suppose, they are the...

Pros: Straightforward rock
Cons: Simplistic music and lyrics

Listening to current music has become depressing for me. It seems that everything I hear on the radio is either overproduced pop, meaningless rap/rock, or empty alternative rock. But when I purchased Bon Jovi’s newest release, “Crush,” I saw a glimmer...

Pros: 2 or 3 decent songs, the band has tried to mature, and they deserve some applause for their efforts
Cons: you've heard all of this before, on better albums

It seems that with every album they release as a band, Bon Jovi defies the odds and the critics and manage to make it a commercial success. Released in June of 2000, their newest album, Crush, defied the odds as well, debuting on the...

Pros: Slick, commercial, not as challenging and dark as These Days. Some great new songs.
Cons: Not much for out-and-out rock, a few tracks are weak.

Five years removed from their darkest, most challenging listen yet, These Days, Bon Jovi, in the year 2000 when they were all but forgotten, puts out Crush, an album that somehow, simultaneously, is the most commercial and their least commercial album...

Pros: .........um......It's nice to see Bon Jovi out & about?
Cons: I feel like it's 1992 and I have to start all over again!

Talk about giving album-making a bad name!

I recently picked up the new Bon Jovi album, living on a prayer that the band could remake themselves into a rejuvenated hit machine. With Jon Bon Jovi's struggling acting and music career, it's no...

Pros: Will attract new non-rock fans, very pleasant feel
Cons: Tooooo poppish. Lacking in intensity, Jon's usually powerful vocals and musical complexity.

Dear Jon, Richie, David, Tico & Hugh,
I know this ain't gonna be the first time you're
hearing this complaint, but I'm probably the only guy
from my country (India)who's writing about this.
First thing you should know is that...

Pros: Great songs..still some of the "OLD" Bon Jovi style!
Cons: Bon Jovi doesn't seem to pride their music like they used to

I need to start this epinion by stating that, "Yes , I'm Melissa and have always been a devoted Bon Jovi fan."When some tease me and say "That is soooo old ." Or the infamous "There were just another hairsray band" I will gladly stick up for...

Pros: Bon Jovi's refreshing and undeniably rock sound never disappoint
Cons: Could be edgier. I was hoping for more rockers.

OK. It's no lie. I am a big bon jovi fan. I can't tell you why, I don't even know why myself. But one thing is for sure: it helps get chicks. You can just nonchalantly drop the word "bon jovi" into a casual conversation with a friend --...

Pros: Same Bon Jovi edge, with a modern twist
Cons: Nothing right off hand

Having been a Bon Jovi fan just about forever, I was really looking forward to the release of a new album. Although I was a little unsure since a couple of my favorites from way back had begun putting out music which was so different from what I had...
