Heavy doesn't fit Jovi that much.

The only 'heavy' BJ has are the looks in the 80'ies that were similar to lots of heavy bands.
Sometimes they use heavy influences in their music which works great, but basiscally BJ have always been writing 'guitar based poppy & catchy' songs.

And let's be honest... do you want them to come out with something that sounds like NEW Jersey???? It's a great album and it sounded great when it came out, but producing that kind of songs with that kind of sound today would be a little pathetic.

Basically, doing such thing is the reason why bands like Def Leppard, Poison, Europe and other of their fellow bands in the 80's didn't make it through the 90's and 00's.

yeah right, but I see it more from the technical side
the older analog recording methods sound more organic and breath alot more than actual digital techniques. It doesn't matter which genre you pick out. The pro tools stuff with all the cut and paste, make it clean allows heavier manipulation.
Beside that we have something that they call "loudness war".
If you're interested and don't know already I found something about it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loudness_war

Keep the Faith of course. Not only does it have the 'hardest' songs, If I was your mother & Fear, it also has real rockers as I believe, Keep the Faith.

Everything on it rocks, even the ballads Bed of Roses & I want you, as a matter of fact, besides maybe This aint a love song, there werent done that kind of 'heavy' ballads ever since...

No Bon Jovi album is really heavy all the way through, but almost everything up to and including These Days is played with an intensity that makes it powerful rather than heavy. I think most people really miss the power more than the heaviness, although the two do often go hand in hand.

That said, there is plenty of heavier stuff to be found in the Bon Jovi catalogue. New Jersey and Keep The Faith are probably their two most "hard rock" albums, although the debut and 7800 at times both sound like a car crash waiting to happen ... in a good way

It's Crush. I got the Japanese edition and the booklet's so thick. So it's the heaviest compared to the rest.
