What About Now
“The 12th Bon Jovi album extends the Springsteen liberalism in JBJ’s stadiumrattling Jersey cheese into full-on “social commentary” (his term). “What About Now” and “I’m With You” are rousingly vague got-your-back anthems. But the songs also have a countrified contemplative side; on “Because We Can,” the working-class heroes are a couple trying to save their marriage, and “What’s Left of Me” decri”

But Bon Jovi are still around, wanted dead or alive, […]”
Bounce
“The pleasures of Bon Jovi are inseparable from their limitations: They will always find a way to please the crowd. The same lack of subtlety that produces supremely catchy choruses also leads to a ballad titled "You Had Me From Hello."
