Hit: 4 Stars
Although `Slippery When Wet' was where Bon Jovi solidified their reputation as stadium demigods, `New Jersey' is the better record. I may be in the minority here but with the exception of "Wanted Dead or Alive" from the former, I like the hits from `Jersey' more. Maybe Jon was trying to channel Bruce Springsteen and maybe he wasn't (I tend to agree with the critics on this one) there was no denying the band and its frontman had the chops if not the appeal of their Garden State elder. "Bad Medicine" was another #1 and a great hair metal hit! "Born to Be My Baby" is not so much and it is an obvious "Livin' on a Prayer "II. "Lay Your Hands on Me" is a pulverizing, feet out of your seat opener and "Blood on Blood" is probably the most Springsteenesque track (cept for "Living in Sin"). Overall, a long made for the CD age record with twelve songs of varying quality though overall the team of Fairbairn, Rock and Child remake the magic of 1986. "Love for Sale" and "Ride Cowboy Ride" continue the unplugged ride that was kick started by Jon and Richie sans the rest of the boys circa 1987-88 on MTV. `New Jersey' may have not sold the amount of flapjacks that its predecessor sold, but seven million plus is no dud and Bon Jovi looked to remain the one American band who could rival the commercial onslaught of Sheffield, England's finest- Def Leppard. We were so young....one for all and all for one...did Joe Elliot rip-off Dumas as well?
New Jersey Poster
Thanks to Slippery When Wet, Bon Jovi procured the sort of world domination dreamt of by demented European dictators and Bond villains--at which point the band decided that they didn't really want to rule the planet. Though New Jersey contains several Jovi stadium anthems, including the single "Bad Medicine," and though the album's videos showed that the intricately layered and feathered coiffures were intact, this is where Bon Jovi began changing. The title offers a broad hint as to what Jon Bon Jovi in particular was trying to change into: short of renaming the album I Come from the Same Place as Bruce Springsteen, he could scarcely have been more obvious about his intentions. "Living in Sin," indeed, takes Bon Jovi's increasing obsession with Springsteen to the verge of pastiche. --Andrew MuellerClassic Rock Music CDs
