Ok, a lot of people go on and on about how Crush was an inferior album to many of the albums released during the prime of the band. In a way, it is true I suppose.

BUT, one thing that it did do was bring a lot of new fans into the Bon Jovi family. And when I say new fans, I don't mean little teenie-boppers who only know IML, but younger people who got 'introduced' to the band through Crush, then simply fell in love with the band's music.

In some ways, it was merely getting the foot in the door, as it was for me. It made me more interested in the band and as a result, I now have all their albums and I rate Crush below at least 4 of those.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that it may not have been their best album in terms of music, but could it still be considered a big success because of the fact that it pulled so many fans in?
