CD.......2006-11-05

My Mom & I have listened to both of the Bon Jovi Albums and we like both "Have a Nice Day" & Cross Roads. We have listened to them both once and we love them.

Soundtrack To Lame Western Movie Actually Has Deeper Cautionary Message.......2006-10-07

BLAZE OF GLORY is not a Bon Jovi album, but rather Jon Bon Jovi and session players doing the soundtrack of the terrible Emilio Estevez film YOUNG GUNS II. However, don't let that deter you from buying this album, because for an album associated with such a lame movie, the music and lyrics are of remarkably high quality. The lyrics seem at first to be standard Old West fare, but if your intake of Omega-3 fatty acids and B-vitamins is ample, you can tell without reading the lyric sheet- in other words, by just listening VERY HARD- that there is a deeper meaning to them. The songs actually form a cautionary suite that warns against getting into dangerous situations of ANY kind, inspiring me to never go anywhere without telling someone where I'll be, as well as influencing my predilection for putting up photos of pretty actresses on my wall as a deterrent to self-indulgent behavior. If I had not believed this interpretation of the lyrics, I would not be living on my own right now. If you've just gotten your first apartment, or are getting ready to, you MUST buy this album. It's Jon Bon Jovi's first truly serious work, presaging KEEP THE FAITH by two years, making it a pivotal moment in his career.

Solid Gold.......2006-09-30

It's hard to classify this album in a genre, but musically it is a benchmark album that sets a standard that few can reach. What sets it apart from Bon Jovi (the band) records, is that it doesn't sound so polished and commercially viable. This is real, heartfelt compilation of songs that speak of life and anyone with a soul could relate to a few of these. "Santa Fe" is one of the greatest songs, lyrically and musically, that I have ever heard. It takes you to a state of mind that few songs do. The movie was decent, but it pales in comparison to this album. I wouldn't buy this album because of the movie, i would buy the movie because of the album.

My favorite band of all time.......2006-08-09

I am very glad I found this CD on amazon, I have been looking all over for it. I love this CD. I was a little nervous by ordering online, but it's cheaper and I didn't have to go to the store. The CD was brand new just like they said and it plays great.

The Turn of "New Jersey" Continued. .......2006-07-10

This record is certainly a change from Bon Jovi's "7800" and "Slippery When Wet." In "New Jersey," the change was already underway. As most of you know, Bon Jovi lost his group on this record, and that may be another reason the change he started on "New Jersey" went a step further. Bon Jovi may very well have felt that with the loss of his group, things were not going to sound the same. So his best bet was to go in a different direction. And in all honesty, this did seem to work. (Interestingly, even my parents liked this record.) Moving on, 'Billy Get Your Guns' is a good and catchy opener. Elton John actually plays on this song. 'Miracle' is a bit softer, but still good; The title track 'Blaze of Glory' almost steals the record; 'Santa Fe' is a sad but moving song that is well done; 'Justice In the Barrle' continues the good pace; 'Never Say Die' is one of the record's more uplifting songs and does carry an energy; 'You Really Got Me Now' is a nice release of tension. It borders on comical, and it has a nice sound to it; 'Bang A Drum' is the last bit of enthusiasm to the record. It has uplifting lyrics and a good energy; with 'Dyin Aint Much of A Living,' the record returns to a sad, but well done tone. Elton John returns to add his keyboard touches. If you're expecting the same tone as "7800" or "Slippery When Wet," you are probably going to be disappointed. But if you liked "New Jersey," chances are you will like "Blaze of Glory." While "7800" remains my favorite, this 5th record of Bon Jovi's showed that he could still make a good record under difficult circumstances.
