Bon Jovi - Crush (CD 2000)

I bought this album because i really like bon jovi my favourite tracks are Say It Isn't So and Its My Life. I am currently trying to build my Bon Jovi Collection only four cd's to go.

This album is fantastic. It contains one of my favourite Bon Jovi songs, It's My Life (my favourite being Livin' On A Prayer, of course) which shows that they still have it, even this many years after their original debut. A must for all Bon Jovi fans!!!!!

I am a huge bon jovi fan and this was the albumto complete my collection. it has a classic mix of songs it is right up there with destination anywhere which i regard as his best ever work i would advise anyone to buy this album even if they are not a bon jovi fan.

trying to collect all of bon jovi cds is quite hard. but i can always find a good cellection on ebay. the cd is brilliant as is all his music is.

This is one of my favourite Bon Jovi cd's. I find this to be more of an easy listening cd after first track (It's my life). A great cd to own if you are a Bon Jovi fan

Even if it was classified as pop-metal, Bon Jovi never really was much of a metal band, relying on big, catchy melodies and not guitar riffs to make their songs memorable. That's why, in 2000, they're able to make an album like Crush, which strays far enough into pop/rock to actually stand a chance of getting airplay (which it did, with the hit lead single "It's My Life"). The guitar crunch on the uptempo numbers keeps Bon Jovi from becoming a full-fledged pop/rock band, but in addition to the typical hard rockers, there are nods to heartland rock, Bryan Adams-style adult contemporary balladry ("Thank You for Loving Me"), the Beatles (the surprisingly effective "Say It Isn't So"), and even British glam à la T. Rex or David Bowie ("Captain Crash and the Beauty Queen From Mars"). Occasionally, it sounds like the band is attempting to cover as many bases as possible for multi-format appeal, but for the most part, the variety -- coupled with the consistently polished songcraft -- makes for a surprisingly listenable album. The production is a little more electronic-tinged, but not obtrusively high-tech, so the band doesn't come off as desperate to sound contemporary. Aside from a couple of missteps (the soppy, aforementioned "Thank You for Loving Me" and the mawkish posturing of "Save the World"), Crush is a solidly crafted mainstream rock record that's much better than most might expect. Even if Crush is more measured than Bon Jovi's early work, "Just Older" sums up the band's acceptance of their status nicely: "The skin I'm in is all right with me/It's not old, just older." ~ Steve Huey, All Music Guide

This cd contains one of my all time Bon Jovi favourites "It's my life". A couple of the songs aren't really to my taste, but then again other people may like them. Each to their own. Over all I enjoy listening to this cd.

i bought this cos i'd heard it years ago and enjoyed it. most of the tracks i like, esp just older and 2 story town. its a pretty decent bon jovi album.

I am a great fan of Bon Jovi and just love all his music. This is one of the CD's I had to replace as my original one got broken.
