It’s labelled as a review but in truth he’s just telling us what songs are on the album.

My favorites: Keep The Faith, In These Arms, I Believe, If I Was Your Mother, Dry County...
I never liked Bed Of Roses too much. General reviews but nice that we'll have a "quick review" "weekly". |
It's a shame he's so hesitant about social media, I'd love to see him hire someone to run that side of things and make longer form online retrospective videos. I think hardcore fans would go nuts to see him listening to older songs and commenting on the recording/writing process etc.

Man oh man, KTF. I. Love. This. Album. I've always said I prefer it to NJ and TD. Keep the Faith, I Believe, Bed of Roses, Fear, Dry County, If I Was Your Mother, Blame it on the Love, and the best of them all - In These Arms. Even the middle-of-the-road songs like I Want You and Woman In Love I enjoy. Little Bit of Soul is the only one I don't listen to all that much, and I think Sleep is severely over rated. But apart from that, it's so so good.
Had Outlaws of Love and Good Guys been on the album it would've been perfection. Kind of like if Borderline and Edge of a Broken Heart had been on Slippery. Anyway, great album. I love Jon's reviews, even if they are super short and dont go into much detail. Quote:

Agree with this. The reviews aren’t reviews as such, just lists of songs, but why not do a 10 minute review for each album for the YouTube channel. Can talk about the tours that accompanied the album, songs that didn’t make it etc. Be really good to see something like that. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |
31 years old today....really suprised they didnt do something for the 30th last year...not!
Just seen a review from Kerrang mag for this and it got 3/5 and id go with that, maybe 3.5/5, I think first 7 songs are killer then it dips a bit and comes back strong. Never got into Blame it on love, i want you or woman in love. Fear is underrated and Save a prayer is a cracking song -one of my favs. Was a great tour and I saw them at Wembley in 93 and also MK Bowl in 93 - where we got the legendry Dry County performance. So.....Views? Sent from my SM-X700 using Tapatalk |

Agree about the second half dipping in quality slightly but they are still strong songs, and could have been singles for any other band, especially I Want You. How The Radio Saved My Life Tongiht didn't make it I'll never know. |

Bed Of Roses is a great powerballad. I Want You is pretty much the opposite. I'll Sleep When I'm Dead is a good party song while Little Bit of Soul and Blame it on the Love aren't as strong. The album has 12 tracks. 4 great songs, a few fan favourites and then a lot of stuff everyone seems to think is great yet is rarely mentioned in any top 10 of anyone. Saying I Want You could've been a single for another band is odd considering most other bands stray away off the schmaltz Jon and a lot of fans favour. I Believe 4/5 Keep the Faith 5/5 I'll Sleep When I'm Dead 4/5 In These Arms 5/5 Bed of Roses 5/5 If I Was Your Mother 2/5 Dry County 4/5 Woman In Love 3/5 Fear 3/5 I Want You 2/5 Blame It On The Love of Rock & Roll 3/5 Little Bit of Soul 3/5 This averages on 3,6 and this is me still being biased as a fan. Although I'd love it to be different there's no way the average opinion on Keep the Faith would be that it's the sheer perfection I think it is. Deduct half a point for me being biased and you get an album that's 3/5 stars. This isn't bad by any means but it just isn't the masterpiece a lot of fans think it is. Most of the album cuts are interesting to see what else Bon Jovi could write but also directly prove why they should've stuck to what they were good at. Salaam Aleikum, Sebastiaan |
