People often don't pay enough attention to names of authors. But many biographies and reviews on the web are credited to "All Music Guide" or AMG (not just for Bon Jovi, for any artist).

By the way, their reviews are pretty interesting. If you want to read some, their link is www.allmusic.com .

They gave SWW, NJ 4.5 stars, BJ, KTF, TD 3 stars, Crush 4 stars and Bounce 2 stars.

But, you are right, for Bon Jovi I don't think it matters. But I hope that the band are shown AMG reviews because sometimes they are to the point. I think reading such reviews can actually help the band.

I just want to add that AMG reviews for first half of Bon Jovi records are kinda lazy. Over there they followed the misconception that Bruce is BJ main influence, which IMO is unjustified and is simply the easy way out of putting some efforts into reviewing of Bon Jovi work. I can clearly see that those reviews were written, first, in retrospect, and, second, in the period when Bon Jovi were in disgrace.

However, their reviews for Bon Jovi's latest efforts (1995 and up) are actually quite fair and to the point. I was particularly impressed with their reviews for Crush and Bounce. That't how I feel. It's clear that they can no longer use a restrospective look and the band is no longer in disgrace, so now they have to actually put more efforts into their reviews. That's why I'm looking forward to reading their review for TLFR.

Aloha !

When you put your CD in your computer and you play it on Mediaplayer version whatever, you get reviews from AMG as well.

Salaam Aleikum,

Just a though: Everyone complains when they release a commercial album.

And many of us complains when they release a non-commercial album.

We, Bon Jovi´s fans, are the most stupid fans of the world
