BON JOVI - What About Now (Out Now, Island Records)


After 4 years and inmerse in a wave of declining sales Bon Jovi are back with an album, once again, whitout a clear style. The guys goes Pop, Rock and Country-Folk so for those waiting for two decades for a Hard Rock album by Bon Jovi let me tell you... men, that ain't your album... neither mine. Actually there are some interesting tunes like Pictures Of You or Amen but the core of this album is so impersonal so you could be listening to an album by The Goo Goo Dolls, Mumford & Sons or Fun. instead of Bon Jovi.
Maybe the most interesting thing with this album is that in a few songs David Bryan's keys are back. I must confess that for a bounch of years i came to believe the guy was out of the band 'cause it was difficult to find his keys or piano but it seems the guy is alive and kicking.
All cuts are writen by the guys with some help by Billy Falcon and Desmond Child and the album is produced by Jon, Richie and John Shanks.
In summary, an album that follows new tendencies with vocals by Jon Bon Jovi in good shape, guitars with few distortion and keys coming back to life. Probably this album will reach the top 5 in the US but i do believe that in less than 10 weeks the album will be out the Top 100 albums... another deception by Bon Jovi.
