Kind of sounds like the rest of their most recent stuff, so its kind of meh. Not bad but not a milestone release.

Digging: Monsters of Folk - Monsters of Folk

Album Rating: 5

My god these guys suck.

Digging: Opeth - Ghost Reveries

shot thru the heart

Digging: And So I Watch You From Afar - And So I Watch You From Afar

Song sounds like a U2 ripoff for some reason. Bon Jovi is still pretty awesome.

Digging: Between The Buried And Me - The Great Misdirect

better not be country,...

Digging: Pure Reason Revolution - The Dark Third

these guys will never top It's My Life

Digging: Thursday - War All The Time

So, (I can't access the song right now) are they still going with the country sound?

Digging: Paloma Faith - Do You Want the Truth or Something Beautiful?

they're still trying? jeeeeez.

Digging: Converge - Axe To Fall

I fucking love Living On A Prayer.

Digging: fun. - Aim and Ignite

ohhhhh yess... i can't wait to listen to this. =]

Digging: Modern Life Is War - Witness

as much as I hate to see bands break up sometimes it is best to know when to call it a day

you know it's time to stop when atreyu has covered one of your songs

Digging: Converge - Axe To Fall

they should have stopped way before

Digging: Tiamat - A Deeper Kind of Slumber

This brings the lulz. Amirite? High five?

Digging: Brand New - Daisy

how many people still listen to bon jovi

Digging: Brand New - The Devil And God Are Raging Inside Me

Album Rating: 1.5

Enough to make all their albums go platinum. Idiot

Digging: Evergreen Terrace - Almost Home

well on one hand, yes they should have stopped LONG ago, as they have been putting out bland, annoying, and just plain bad music for decades. basically they just make me cringe.

on the other hand, due to the alarmingly hideous music taste of most people, Bon Jovi is somehow world-famous and held in high regard. the guys grow several million dollars richer with every album they release. so in that context, why in hell would they stop now?

'Enough to make all their albums go platinum. Idiot'

reworded

are bon jovi at all relevant today

Song rules. Chorus reminds me of "Born To Be My Baby."

Digging: Bon Jovi - Crossroad

They do huge business on the country circuit, and they can still draw crowds from their 80s heyday, 90s revival and what they're doing now. They have a very young fan base too given their age profile- much younger than the likes of U2 and Madonna.

Digging: Natasha Bedingfield - Pocketful of Sunshine

are bon jovi at all relevant today

"Shot out the butt and you're to blame, you give Hanes a bad stain."

Digging: The Red Chord - Fed Through the Teeth Machine

Maybe their albums suck a bit these days. But they are still a good live band.

Album Rating: 1

mediocre rock bands across the decades

70s = journey
80s = bon jovi
90s = korn
00s = nickelback

and its 2009

Digging: Devin Townsend Project - Addicted

Love them or hate them, you can't fault a band for staying this relevant for nearly 30 years.

For crying out loud. How many of your mothers wants to bone Jon Bon Jovi?

Not gonna listen to this, they only have a few songs worth listening to, some of them are overplayed too.

Digging: Death Cab For Cutie - Plans

fucking lame retire with some dignity

Being a fanboy and defending everything Bon Jovi does will not hide the fact their quality of music has diminished. I would rather sell a certain number of copies of the best album ever rather than sell millions of album that are total shit.

This is real music, played with conviction by a master of his craft. Bon Jovi constantly reinvents himself, which is more than you can say about the shitty bands that get praised so much on this site.

Regardless of whether he's relevant or not, he still puts on great live shows. Man's still got some pipes.

And, of course, I'm biased since we share the same origin in the Great State of New Jersey. Him and Bruce are our only real claims to fame.

Crossroad was the only album of there's I could really stand. Took all of their best moments and put it all in one.

Digging: Slayer - World Painted Blood

Kids could be listening to a lot worse than Bon Jovi tbh

Digging: Grand Belial's Key - Kosherat

band is pretty awful tbh

Digging: Raekwon - Only Built 4 Cuban Linx... Pt II

But he's so handsome

"Kids could be listening to a lot worse than Bon Jovi tbh"

and they are, how about terrible groups such as Boys Like Girls and 3OH!3. kids rarely have taste in actual music anymore. not to say the Bon jovi's new stuff is much better.

^ hey i do! though ur completely right.

Album Rating: 1.5

I can't wait to hear a 50 year old woman shreik this out at a karaoke bar.

Digging: Sarah Blasko - As Day Follows Night

Oh cheer up, Bfhurricane, you have so much more than Bon Jovi and Bruce Springsteen, you also have Jon Stewart, Jersey Mike's, organs being sold on the black market by politicians and rabbis, and that show about psycho housewives.

Digging: Kanye West - Graduation

Am I the only one who thinks the microphone on the album cover is a little unfortunately placed. Or maybe just right for Bon Jovi.

Digging: Miniature Tigers - Tell It To The Volcano

I agree with Teddy Picker!

But shit this is terrible music.

Digging: Gorillaz - Demon Days

They should have gone out in style during the late 80's or 90's. But yet, they plague us with their new style shitty music

"mediocre rock bands across the decades

70s = journey
80s = bon jovi
90s = korn
00s = nickelback

and its 2009"

They were not mediocre....there were plenty of other bands that would fit your example....."Livin' On A Prayer" is a 80's, and I dare say, a timeless classic. They can't be compared to Nickelback

Digging: Thrice - Beggars
