Is that true? I never knew that!

Really?

See, to me it's down there with some of the worst tracks ever written by them. It's Bon Jovi cheese at it's very worst. I can't even think about how the music sounds, because the lyrics makes me cringe.

There's not many Jovi tracks I don't like at all. But this is one of them.

Rock isn't about deep lyrics, it's about fun. And Bon Jovi have always been cheese, that's what they do best. It all went to hell when they started trying to be relevant.

I Could Make A Living is one of the few rock songs Bon Jovi have written since 2000 and it has a great guitar and nice vocals. What more could I ask for? Cheese it may be, but it rocks and it's fun.

The guitar theme on that song reminds me of AC/DC.

Yup. It's such a strange way to leave the album after the end of OWN.
As for ICMALOOLY (That's a long one). I think it's an okay track, but best as a B-Side. The only track on Crush it's better than is She's a Mystery, and that's mainly because I think She's a Mystery is one of the worst tracks they've ever written.

The James Brown thing actually ends OWN, I can admit that, in my copy of Crush it ends the whole album. I think my copy is American Edition, because there's no bonus tracks.

About this song, I don't have much to say about it, it's average, maybe I'd like it more if I listened to it a few more times.

She's A Mystery ain't that bad, it's just a terrible fit to a Bon Jovi album. It sounds like a demo from Destination Anywhere. If Jon released it on that album, it would not have been that bad. Off course it sucks when it's put on a rock album like Crush.
