5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best, June 24, 2000

I was a BJ fan all the way back to their first album, though I must admit 'Runaway' was not the song that hooked me but rather 'She Don't Know Me'.

I followed them during the releases of their first two albums and when 'Slippery When Wet' came out and people thought they might be a one album wonder I knew better. 'New Jersey' is one of the best follow up records to a 'bust out' record ever (along with Def Leppard 'Hysteria' and pearl Jam 'Vs.'). this album showed the new Bon Jovi fans that this band had more hits in them, and cemented them into the music scene.

in addition this is the best BJ album off all. 'Slippery When Wet' has a few songs that are as good or better then songs on 'New Jersey' but as a whole 'New Jersey' never lets up and is one of the best rock albums you'll hear.

5.0 out of 5 stars A terrific followup to Slippery When Wet., January 16, 2001

After the awesome success of Slippery When Wet, the band had to be intimidated by thought of following that album up. But if they were, they don't show it as this album blisters. These guys aren't your let your hair grow to your ass musicians who can't really play and just got where they were because of the way they looked. These guys can play. Bad Medicine, Lay Your Hands On Me, & Living In Sin are killer tunes and Richie Sambora is underated as a guitarists. They right terrific lyrics and add fantastic instrument playing to make truly awesome and unforgettable songs. No Bon JOvi collection should be without this one.

5.0 out of 5 stars The BEST Bon Jovi Album, February 17, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: New Jersey (Audio CD)

Bon Jovi is a great band and New Jersey is their all-time best album to me. It's solid on every track from the great rock song, "Bad Medicine" and "Stick to Your Guns" to the ballad, "I'll Be There for You." Bon Jovi continues to make great music, but it'll be hard to top this one. FUN music- now there's a new concept.
