IMO, parts of Crush absolutely reeked of the band trying to rewrite SWW / NJ .... that's why we got rehashes of Prayer (It's My Life) and Blood On Blood (Just Older)

I'd only want them to do a rock album if it sounded natural, rather than forced, and if it wasn't them trying to rewrite previous songs. I haven't heard the new Crue album yet, except for the title track, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's one that people get all excited about for a while, then they go back to listening to Shout At The Devil or Doctor Feelgood. Put simply, if Bon Jovi are going to make a new rock album, I'd like it to be something new, rather than a rehash of their former glories

And what's wrong with experimentation? Hell, if Jovi had stuck with to "if it ain't broke don't fix it", we never would have got KTF or TD
