Bon Jovi

[chocularok]

Hope the new music isn't as lame as that album cover...

 

[UGH]

Looks like it should be the back cover

[Faron]

I quite like it, then again, I was in the minority preferring the original cover on the classic Reckless album!

[JC_AOR]

I don't mind it, gives it a modern look, there are many far worse album covers coming out these days.

[Captain Howdy]

Cant see anything wrong with that cover.

[phaffas]

but whats the music like?

[melodicrockoz]

but whats the music like?

 

The best BJ album in years, up there with KTF.

[Shawn Of Fire]

Seriously? Does it rock like KTF?

[All Nights Reserved]

Looks cool.

[Jez]

CD cover is ok, let's hope the music is the same!!

[SamboraRocks86]

I like it, and not just because its Bon jovi, i prefer it to the HAND and Crush covers for sure, although i did like the LH cover

 

but its clever, its not just an album cover with a circle on it, not directly atleast

[Geoff]

I wouldn't say it's clever, but I also see nothing wrong with it. Just hoping this album is a great one.

[martinsane]

Maybe it's me, but I don't thing anyone should have a giant drainpipe as their album cover...

 

Doesn't promote a very positive outlook if you ask me.

[edwithmj]

They still don't accept Hugh McDonald as an official member I see. They should just accept Alec John Such is never coming back.

[Captain Howdy]

Its nothing to do with that, as they dont want Such back, its because Jon and the band want to keep him as a hired hand, meaning they only have to pay him as a session musician, meaning he does not get a share in any band royalties and record sales etc.

Hugh is probably quite happy with that as he has been a session musician for years, and he probably makes more money by doing this gig permanently, than he did hiring himself out to all and sundry.

[shotgun messiah]

Nothing really special,but not bad at all.I hope that this album will be better than the previous 3 albums.

[SamboraRocks86]

This is supposedly confirmed by Obie O'Brian as being the tracklisting:

 

We Weren't Born to Follow

When We Were Beautiful

Work for the Working Man

Superman Tonight

Bullet

Thorn in My Side

Live Before You Die

Broken Promiseland

Love's the Only Rule

Fast Cars

Happy Now

Learn to Love

[Fat Freddy]

The cover reminds me a little of this one:

 

 

Though I doubt it's intentional....

Hey, if Bon Jovi want a cover depicting them taking a leisurely stroll inside a giant ribbed condom, that's their right...

[KarpetRydOFunk]

How long did it take you to think of that? I'm hoping all day.

90 seconds. When it comes to anything condom-related, 90 seconds is usually my average. I'm gifted like that.

That's what you girlfriend told me, so I can vouch for that.

Nice. Please don't tell my wife about my girlfriend.

[gener8tr]

Okay, I'll admit, I've been VERY critical of Bon Jovi the past 17 years (save for a song here and there). In fact, I thought BORN TO FOLLOW sucked initially, but having heard it about a thoudsand times the past two weeks during the baseball playoffs I must say I'm digging it.

 

I only hope the rest of the album doesn't disappoint... I remember being VERY excited about IT'S MY LIFE about a decade ago, only to be brought back to earth by most of the other tracks.

 

We'll see... Being a Bon Jovi fan since 1985 (when I saw them open for RATT), and being perhaps the biggest SLIPPERY WHEN WET fan of all-time, I'll give the new album a fair shot before I throw it off a bridge (like I did with DESTINATION ANYWHERE... Honestly, it's at the bottom of the Columbia River right at the Oregon / Washington border if anyone is interested )
