Default Rolling Stone Gives three stars to a BJ record??

Ok there must be a rip in the Universe today or somrthing because it has been some years since RS had anything good to say about Bon Jovi.

Here is the review: Jersey arena icons still know how to do an anthem.

The girls who grooved to SWW back in 1986 have gotten married and bought SUV's But BJ have kept their arena anthems simple and sweaty- so much so that hating the Jersey quartet seems silly at this point.
HAND, their ninth studio album is as reliable as it is contained: Acoustic ballads such as BOF are vaguely icky, but powerhouse anthems like "I wanna be loved" pack almost as much sing-along potential as LOAP did back in the day. The band even works up some roots rock on "who says you can't go home".
On the lighter-waver "Welcome to wherever you are", JBJ pliosophizes like Forrest Gump in leather pants " maybe we are all different but we are still the same". Well said, lad.
Rating 3 of 5 stars. key track: I wanna be loved.
