I've only heard one song, Gimme Some Lovin' Charlene, and I have to say that really sucks.....if the resyt of the album is like that, I think I'll give it a miss!

Keep On Rockin'

I think it has some good tracks on it: Stringin' A line, More than we bargained for, Hollywood Dreams, No one Does It Like You & Talkin' In Your Sleep.

It is also nice to hear what kind of music Jon did before Bon Jovi

If you like Bon Jovi (the album), you will notice how much it sounds like the Power Station CD. The first track in particular; Who Said It Would Last Forever; is one of my favourite songs. I also love hearing the demo version of Runaway, with no vocals at all, just music

I actually don't mind a bit of power station sessions......

Sure its not quite at the quality of 2days BJ....but still it has some good songs like "who said it would last forever", and also one that sounds like it has a jet ski in the background being revved once every so often (I can't remember its name).

However I don't listen to it often....Its just a part of any awesome BJ collection

I disagree about it sounding like the first Bon Jovi album. If anything I'd say PSY hangs in mid air, like Jon had no clue what he wanted to do at the time..... just look at the what was it: Star Wars Christmas song? I personaly find the album a soft, undefined album. Like I said, that's just me, I'm interested in the fact that so many people do in fact like it. WSIWLF I'd say has a good melody, but I hate the piano on it, and I do find it very weak in comparison to the stuff Jon did later.

I think hearing early Jon is deffinately interesting, especially contextually when you link it in with his family links, and Tony Bongiovi. But, I still just can't get into the music, and I never get any hints of Bon Jovi though it.[/i]
