I think that for the typical Bon Jovi fan the Crush album isn't going to be as good as the rest. For me personally, I still enjoy listening to it. I like more music than just the rock 'n roll which they've previously shown, and I do like what some people would define as 'pop' music. One of my favourite tracks off Crush is 'Save The World', which I know many people don't like, but I like it because it shows a different type of musicality.

For me, just because it's not as good as Keep The Faith, it doesn't mean it's a bad album, it just means it's not as good.

I wouldn't say that Bon Jovi were 'selling out' as many people put it, but I think they tried to put in something for everyone on the album. They had the love songs (TYFLM), the more pop style (Two Story Town, I Got the Girl), the rock 'n roll (IML, OWN), and the slower stuff (Mystery Train). There is at least one song everyone will like on the album, but if there's one thing I wish they'd done on Crush, it would be to make a consistent album, rather than trying to add so much diversity.

I still like the album, although I recognise it's not everyone's cup of tea.
