Slippery When Wet [Remaster] by Bon Jovi

Pros: Entertaining songs, some of the best of "hair metal"...
Cons: Sometimes over produced and brainless...

Mrs. Laitner, my music teacher, walked into my classroom with two vinyl singles. For the next two weeks, we as students were expected to learn the melody and words to two currently popular songs. The first was Lean on Me by Club Nouveau while the...

Pros: Great production. Killer melodies. Ammusing Lyrics.
Cons: Some songs aren't very memorable.

If I am known for anything, it is my unhealthy love for good ol’ 1980s rock n roll. And it has come as quite a shock that I have neglected to review anything by the band, Bon Jovi. Until now that is. “That’s great kid, but why the hell is it so darn ...

Pros: loud, catchy, and anthemic in every respect
Cons: none

Strap yourselves in, this is gonna be a long one...

When the very talented music category lead lambchops came up with the idea for the "Where it all Began" write off, I knew immediatelyI was in, even if I was gonna have to cheat....

Pros: A handful of really impressive tracks …
Cons: Some that are so generic they deserve no title, just the word “song” on them.

Regardless of what you think of Bon Jovi, there is no denying that in the past the groups has contributed some pretty impressive songs to the annals of music. Their early stuff was seasoned with a raw and fevered pitch that set the bar high for other ...

Pros: Diversity of Tracks, Great Singing/Guitaring, Percussion, Talent
Cons: One truly horrible track

It's hard to believe that its been some twenty three years, since Bon Jovi took the world by storm, with their album Slippery When Wet. This must be proof that the years fly by quicker as you age, but thankfully this CD is still relevant ...

Pros: memorable hits, clean lyrics, upbeat
Cons: a few tracks don't stand out as anything special

I am a bit baffled by the fact that I have been hearing Slippery When Wet by Bon Jovi ...

Pros: Eye Candy + Rockin' Songs = Good Times
Cons: I Can Only Take Big Hair Bands In Small Doses

Pros: Solid 80's style rock n' roll
Cons: They wannabe Van Halen

This review of Slippery When Wet is my 200th on Epinions, and I am very pleased to make it a part of the write-off organized by my good friend and manager, Wolfman309. Besides myself and Wolfman309, the following people are participating in the...

Pros: Some pretty good songs that still sound good today.
Cons: Some of them have dated badly.

Once upon a time, not too long ago (the late 80s to be precise), Bon Jovi was practically untouchable and could do no wrong in the eyes of their legions of fans. That's fairly obvious if judged by the amount of copies Slippery When Wet sold. It's a good...

Pros: Good album, fun rockin' songs
Cons: Far too much emphasis on the looks of this band...ripped off Black 'N Blue.

In the '80s, there was a band by the name of Bon Jovi that didn't totally suck like they did with anything after the '80s and especially today. There was a singer named Jon Bon Jovi that once had a voice and totally lost it because he let it go to waste ...

Pros: Has a few real Bon Jovi classics, and is very vivid and energetic rock
Cons: Perhaps a bit too sleek and commercial sound, doesn't flow very well

SLIPPERY WHEN WET (1986) After the slight failure of 7800 FAHRENHEIT the band had some pressure on themselves: it was never official, but the tone in the air was that with the next album the band would "either make it, or else...". ...

Pros: Slippery When Wet and New Jersey are 2 of my all-time favorite hair metal albums!
Cons: Bon Jovi no longer writes music of this caliber.

Lets face it people. This album needs no introduction. Bon Jovi's Slippery When Wet is what got them on the map.

For their third album, Bon Jovi took a new approach, hiring songwriter-for-hire Desmond Child to help write the tunes....

Pros: A few good memorable tracks
Cons: Hey where did the hair go?

In the eighties there was hair, music, and spray. Or was that hairsprayed music? I guess that is what it really was! I admit to you I own this CD. However, I am not ready to admit it to the rest of the world. It's a guilty pleasure though. Bon Jovi, the...

Pros: Every track is strong in every aspect, fine production, timeless hit singles.
Cons: Slight reliance on songwriter Desmond Child, Sambora has yet to find his own style.

1986 was a year that would come to represent everything that would good, and bad, about 80's metal simultaneously, with the explosion of glam-rock. Bon Jovi's third album, Slippery When Wet, is most definitley on the 'good' side of this spectrum....

Pros: Their best selling CD with several classics.
Cons: Jon Bon-Springsteen.

For awhile, Bon Jovi was just this band with a whole lot of hair. It was five guys from Jersey who had that song about a runaway a few years back. They got some recognition, but they were just another hair band in the 1980s. That all changed in 1986,...
