10 classic pop albums. Q review
no.7 Bon Jovi - Slippery when wet
4 stars ****
Before 1986, 2 BJ albums has come and gone leaving the world still very much rotating on its axis. then, with the record company axe quivering in the background, they recruited master songwriter-for-hire Desmond child, stopped trying to be Southside Jonny and remembered they had a singer the ladies might like. They then knuckeled down to making the finest pop metal album ever. The result was great big, chant a long choruses, verses that sped by in an instant and , in Wanted, a ballad made for lighters. They toured like demons in support of it and nothing was ever the same again.
a nice review in all i think. i dont care it being labeled as pop metal or whatever actually, its just a great album. makes me wonder if theyl ever hit those heights again.. it is possible. U2's next album is being built up as 'their best' and looking as it could go HUGE..

JBJ - I believe
"Sambora's face is a mask of joyous disbelief, as if previously unaware of his ability to play the instrument at all. Reaching the last fistful of notes, he does a fair impression of a man who is actually ejaculating into his jet black flares."
