What do U expect from BJ´s NEXT album?

Well they already released an album that matched that description two years ago.

I have a theory that Jovi sort of work in 2's. Like they are a different band every two records. Therefore the first two albums have simularities in that they both have a heavier edge and are simular lyrically. Then Slippery and New Jersey had a simular sound and style of song writing.

Then they moved onto a new sound for the 90's. These days had a few simularities to KTF. KTF title track sounded like Damned a little for example.. also simular lyrical themes...

Bounce and Crush were basically as you described (though I like them both.. particuarly Crush). This was Bon Jovi for a new generation. It may not have been what all of the original fanbase wanted but if it turned some of the pop fans out there onto some form of rock music, it served its purpose.

Therefore, Im sort of guessing that this album won't be another Bounce or Crush. Bounce pretty much flopped commercially and critically and I'm sure the guys know when to stop beating a dead horse. Thats why Im guessing this album will be a fresh approach as Have a Nice Day suggests... There will be signs of the Crush/Bounce Jovi as well as borrowed elements from past albums for sure, but lyrically and (besides the heavy guitars) soundwise, they might be a whole new band.


TLFR was an experiment... It may not influence the sound of this album one bit. Im hoping they set out to make the exact opposite of it myself. From what I've read and heard this could be the case..

I know its hard for some to be hopeful but they might surprise us this time... For me, it doesn't have to be as good as These Days or KTF, but if its a good album, I'll be very satisfied with it..

I always thought that crush had alot of Bowie infulences init

After what i heard ("Have A Nice Day") Will it sound a lot like Crush and Bounce!

seriously? apart from the references to ziggy in captain crash i really don't get anything remotely bowie like in the record.

There's no way you can tell anything about the album by that clip. It's a heavy rock so it could turn out be a heavy rock album. Then again it could turn out to be just like Bounce but of course we really don't know for sure. Undivided was a heavy rock song although that didn't flow through the whole album at all.

Jovi seems to like to mix it up a bit which is part of what makes them interesting to follow. If this were ACDC we could pretty much safely say what an album will sound like almost before hearing a first single. With Jovi it could be anything.

The problem with Bounce wasn't that it had too many ballads and mid tempo songs, it was that it had too many average ballads and mid tempo songs. All About Loving you and You Had me From Hello wern't exactly on on the level of Living in Sin and I'll be There for You or Bed of Roses and I Want You.

We know Jovi are capable of writing great songs, we just have to hope they do it this time. Have a Nice Day is a good start. It's a bit of new Jovi and a bit of old Jovi. It has a little bit of It's My Life in it but as you can tell from the whole performance, those songs sound nothing alike musically.

That clip doesn't mean anything really except this album will have heavy guitars in it. Im hoping for a new approach this time. If there is a ballad on this album called "All I gotta do is keep loving you" then I guess its more likely another Crush/Bounce type album... but they could still write a great album like that as they almost did with Crush (just picked the wrong songs in a few cases).

Oh yeah , i see alot of Bowie in the Album. I'll have to have another listern to tell you the songs that relate to BOwie ones.
