I suppose we had to expect it, Bon Jovi not being Slipknot/Puddle of Mudd. Kerrang! have reviewed 'Bounce' (if you can call it a review), giving it 2 K's (2/5). I mean, I don't mind bad reviews, I can accept people not liking the album, but read this (I can be bothered to type it out because of the fact it's so short):
"Jon Bon Jovi is 40 years old. His band have sold 92 million albums in the 18 years since their debut was released. And still the machine rolls on, partly because Jon's acting career never really made headlines, but mostly because Bon Jovi, like contemporaries U2, can't give up the thrill of being one of the biggest rock bands on Earth.
'Bounce', their eighth album, is no match for the classic 'Slippery When Wet', but it's a model of Stadium rock. The single, 'Everyday', has the same anthemic quality as 2000's 'IML' and on the title-track, Jon almost says 'f**k'. That'll be 100 million sales by Christmas, then."
Well, anyone surprised?
