Review of the album here: http://www.theartsdesk.com/new-music...house-not-sale
The verdict is only 2/5 stars, but critics are not usually friendly towards BJ.
Most interesting bits: Still, rather than dwelling on the album's shortcomings, let's look at the tracks worth listening to. We've mentioned one already – the title track. At the other end of the musical spectrum there's the obligatory six-string ballad "Scars on My Guitar" which has – despite its cringeworthy name – a pleasing country vibe. Also undeniably catchy is the AOR of "Rollercoaster". Finally, on "Devils in the Temple" Jon cranks up the emotion to brew up some real rock'n'roll angst. But, ultimately, it's all too little – Bon Jovi Mk 2 still seems unlikely to win over many fans.
