5.0 out of 5 stars "Dated?" Not!, March 12, 2006

I was 14 when "New Jersey" was released in 1990 and remember being bowled over by how much Bon Jovi had matured in their sound from "Slippery When Wet" and thinking, "These guys are here to stay."

"Slippery When Wet" sounds more dated than "New Jersey" as sounds change in nannoseconds in the music industry, never mind four years. John and the Boys wrote and recorded some great ballads, "I'll Be There For You" and "Living In Sin," and created feel-good tunes such as "Bad Medicine."

While watching some Bon Jovi videos recently on cable, I smiled when I thought about a time when you could turn on TV and watch a video and not a glorified porno short (if that sounds patronizing, my apologies, but there's no other way I can put it). Those guys never age!

"New Jersey" was quite the departure from the group's previous albums. It represented a change for the 1990's and beyond.

Two thumbs up ... and then some!

Bon Jovi continued their excellent 80s run at rock and roll with this great offering. It has some great songs such as Bad Medicine and Born to Be My Baby, both of which show Bon Jovi's intensity and love of singing.

4.0 out of 5 stars One of the best rock albums of the 1980s, January 11, 2000

»New Jersey« is by far Bon Jovi's best album ever. The very album where the band has gotten far enough away from the poodle rock and before it faded into softcore poprock.

The album has the best moments of rock the band can offer. Catchy songs like »Bad Medicine« and »Stick To Your Guns«, the more sensitive »Living In Sin« and »I'll Be There For You«, and my personal favourite »Wild Is The Wind«.

A great album offering splendid 1980's rock!
