Lost Highway

Personally I don't like Bon Jovis's evolution. I know times have changed, but one thing I know is that music does not have a time, I listen to Bach, music that was written more than 300 years ago and it moves you and touches your soul. I listen to any of this album's songs, and they don't even come close to a song like "You give love a bad name" or "Bad Medicine", and I am not even going to compare them to "Wanted Dead or Alive". What happened to their music?, this CD is just average, not even a shadow of the music they composed in their early years. I guess inspiration has gone. If you are new to Bon Jovi I suggest you buy the best of them, when they still had the magic: "Slippery when wet" and "New Jersey" have the energy lacking in their latest albums. Just try and compare any song, you will see what I mean. If anyone disagrees with me, your opinion is welcome, I just need to know what happened to them, could you explain it to me?? Because I don't get it.
Anyway, this album has two songs I think they are OK:
- whole lot of leaving
- Stranger

I must say I was introduced to Bon Jovi's music in 1992. I think it was the best time period to get to know the band. At the time the band and the whole music scene was changing and I immediately fell in love with the band's new sound. Of course I was aware of the existing of the band before 1992 as well, but when Keep the Faith came out I think the band gained a wider audience. I consider that album a watershed in their career. At the time the album was the most listened one among my albums. As I was getting older and wiser of course my taste changed and after These days I lost my interest in the band. Now I've got all their albums but this latest release is considered the most powerful and artistically the most mature album they have ever written. They proved they have grown up and can gain themselves a brand new audience in another music genre as well. I take this change for a very good step after "Have a nice day".
I just simply can't get enough of this album. I keep listening to it every day. It deserved number one status all around the world.
BRAVO BOYS KEEP ON ROCKING!

This album is definitely not what I was expecting - it's better! With a more mellow (almost country?) feel, this is one of my favorite albums ever... relaxing, good lyrics, with enough upbeat tunes to not drag it down.

Bon Jovi has been one of my favorite 80s rock artists.

On this new album - Lost Highway - they explore some country rock and do a very fine job of it. It's the perfect album to have on when you are driving down the road.

Some of my favorite songs from this album are: Lost Highway, Summertime, Make A Memory, Whole Lot of Leavin', Til We Ain't Strangers Anymore (great duet with LeAnn Rimes), and I Love This Town.

Absolutely Great CD! Perfect for cruising down the 'highway' or just relaxing at home. One of their best ever!
