I am fed up with the 'live life to the full' cliched message in BJ songs. I want some realistic rather than optimistic music. |
me too. that's why i think that these days is one of their best albums. both good music and great lyrics. |
I gotta disagree here. I listen to Bon Jovi to make myself feel good. I like their "live life to the fullest" message and I try to follow that philosophy.
People can't be optimistic all the time, but they aren't pessimistic all the time either.
Honestly, I don't care for These Days- and it's not because it's 99% pessimistic. Most of the songs are about the same thing, there's not enough rock on the album, the songs tend to drag (but som on Crush do to), and while some of the lyrics are great other songs have really stupid lyrics.
I'm glad that Bon Jovi can re-invent themselves so many times. Probably they will undergo another transformation in the future and release something totally different from anything that we have heard from them in the past. I hope they will be able to please all of their fans again and give us a balanced album (like NJ) the next time around.
