5.0 out of 5 stars Skeptical At First, November 11, 2009

By	A. Schultz "BlindAlvin" (Indiana) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

I was quite skeptical about a CD for $3.99 but I figured what the heck if I get one or two songs I like I'd be happy. I played the CD during my workout and liked every song. There was a heavy bass sound throughout the CD which was fine but I would have been real pleased if there were more lead guitar solos. There were a few that I really enjoyed but even more would have been better. All in all I can tell you this. For $3.99 buy the CD you can't go wrong.

5.0 out of 5 stars I love it..., November 15, 2009

By	C. Ratajczak (Wisconsin) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

I have been eagerly awaiting this CD release! I went out and bought it here at Amazon the first day it was out. I haven't stopped listening to it since then. I think this CD has a similar sound to the New Jersey CD. The one thing I was surprised about was that there were not any true ballads. Although the ballads have been a favorite of mine, I felt this CD was perfect without them. Their sound is still truly unique and I believe it always will be. I think this CD is true to the Bon Jovi vision and incorporates current themes into their music. I love "We Weren't Born to Follow", I think it stands for how many people feel with everything going on in the world right now. I specifically love "Superman Tonight". This song is the only one that comes close to being a ballad and it is a great song. I think the entire CD is great and that "true" Bon Jovi fans will find that it is a true Bon Jovi CD that has changed and grown as the band themselves have. So, I highly recommend this CD if you are an avid Jovi fan. My daughter, my mother, and myself truly love this CD as much as the rest of them. I have loved every CD Bon Jovi has created and will continue to love them all, because they are Bon Jovi and what the band puts out on their CD's is what they want to say to us as fans and being a loyal fan, I love to listen!!!! Way to go guys, another fabulous CD...

4.0 out of 5 stars If you've heard crush there's not much different, November 17, 2009

By	S. Gage (Claremont, CA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

First, let me get something off my chest about the album...

I looked at ticket prices last night for his new album tour to the Honda Center and Staples Center. Nose bleed ticket prices were $150 and $120 respectively a couple days ago. So Jon, when you and Richie write songs like "Work For The Working Man" and you sing about dreams, hopes, and essentially the hard honest work many people do how is it you charge so much for seats so far away? That's saying nothing of the seats closer. I've loved your music since I found a cassette tape (7800 Fahrenheit) at camp when I was a kid. I've never been able to see you and before you start to decline vocally which is inevitable I'd like to see you at least once.

Ok, now about the album...

There are good songs on this album but there will be nothing that really jumps out at you. Work For The Working Man to me, took as close of a step back to the 80s with Jon's old bluesy rock songs. He does prove he has vocal strength in a number of the songs but the songs are certainly softer than the 80s. That being said, it's not the 80s anymore folks and Jon isn't 20-something anymore.

"We Weren't Born To Follow" is an upbeat song that I like because it really raises your spirits. In our current time, there's a lot to balk about in the news and politics. While Jon certainly sings about how things are now he does inject something upbeat and positive into the album with this song.

I'm not really certain I can classify "Superman Tonight" as a ballad but for anyone that's been in love it's a song we can all identify with. It most certainly is a song that after one day of owning the album I find myself singing along to.

"Bullet" is a grittier sounding song. Again, a bluesy sound permeates this song from time to time. Perhaps it's a bit country inspired Kid Rock-ish in spots but I still enjoy listening to it.

"Thorn In My Side" is a bit generic while being higher tempo. It hasn't really grown on me yet but perhaps it will the longer I listen to it.

"Live Before You Die" is a quieter song. It's a song that really makes you think about how eventually " there'll come a day you'll have to say hello to goodbye". So...the message is don't take tomorrow's sunrise for granted and make sure to live as full of a life as possible. I like the song because it's how I live my life as best as possible. I may only be 31 but I have my bucket list...the things I want to do and accomplish before times runs out. I wouldn't say this song is for everyone though.

"Brokenpromiseland" is a pretty cool song for me. It's definitely a song that has a bluesy twang to it but ya know what? I'm kinda digging the bluesy twang in Bon Jovi. I never listened to his last album (the country one) but I don't mind what he's being doing since Crush.

I'm still listening to the album trying to allow the other songs time to grow on me. The ones I've written about are ones that I have a solid opinion about and for the most part, enjoy. Don't expect a huge rock album out of this. It's nothing even comparable to his 80s and early 90s music. If you liked Crush then you will enjoy The Circle, simply put.
