Album review from Melboune's Sunday paper

I just love this review,

HAIRBAND-HATERS can snipe all they want, but these mighty New Jersey rockers will certainly roll on past the 100 million album sales mark with their eighth studio album, Bounce.
Consider how many 1980's arena rock bands have fallen by the wayside in the past 20 years and you realise just how far Bon Jovi has come.
Importantly for fans, Bounce could almost be considered retrospective, such is the blend of Bon Jovi old and Bon Jovi new, with the bonus being that every song on the album is an original.
For me, the sucessful first single Everyday is one of the weakest links on Bounce, which means the best is yet to come. The band tastefully addresses September 11 with the anthem-like album opener Undivided, while Richie Sambora's guitar work continue's to pack a punch in other classic Jovi numbers including The Distance, Hook Me Up and the highly infectious Misunderstood.
No Bon Jovi album would be complete without power ballads such as You Had Me From Hello, All About Lovin' You and piano-driven Joey. Bounce is a superb effort containing deft touches of keyboards, gorgeous string arrangements, strong guitar work and the unmistakable teaming of Jon Bon Jovi and Sambora's vocals climaxing in some vintage Bon Jovi choruses.

In short// Classic Jovi
4 Stars out of 5

I hope you enjoying reading this as much as I did.

Superb review, finally someone got it right....

Thanks for posting!

yeah! so here's the prove that there are critics who like the album! "highly infectuous misunderstood"- sounds good- but my fave is that he states that everyday is one of the weaker tracks on the record *ggg*

Thanks for posting. I also agree that Everyday is one of the weaker songs on the CD!

Let's hope now that the people of Australia like the album as much as that critic!
