The growling, choppy guitar sample that opens the first track here, "It's My Life," is a virtual declaration of intent for the first Bon Jovi album in five years, a statement that they're updating the sound without abandoning the traditional virtues that made them one of the biggest bands on the planet. So make way for a hi-tech parade of smooth-but-gutsy rock anthems, almost any one of which will gladden the heart of every AOR radio programmer in the land. Unless the world has changed irredeemably, cuts like the midpaced heartbreak chugger "Say It Isn't So" are destined to become Bon Jovi standards, while an outbreak of scarf-waving and lighter-flicking is certain to accompany any live performance of the big weepie, "Thank You For Loving Me." Arguably, everything on Crush is done by the numbers, but with consummate pros like Jon Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora at the helm, these are the kind of numbers you have to take seriously, because by the second time they kick into the chorus of any song it's damn near impossible not to sing along. --Johnny Black

I love this group and this CD is great. I saw them in concert in April and it was awesome.

"Crush" marked the beginning of the end for Bon Jovi. The lack of any great solos Richie Sambora is well known for is practically non-existent. The lyrics are so cheesy and I get the feeling that the material was just rushed through, like all the Bon Jovi releases after it. The songs on here completly lack any depth and definitely will not stand the test of time, unlike many of their previous works which have proven very solid. They have absolutely lost their passion for music. Perhaps it's time for them to retire.

Its a new decade, but the same old great Bon Jovi. Their style hasn't changed and their music is as fresh and envigorating as always. I pretty much loved every song on this. And they all sound different from each other, but they all still resemble classic Bon Jovi. I love the last song on the cd, 'One Wild Night'. Its catchy and fun, like the rest of the album.

I lost my first copy of this CD and HAD to buy a replacement. I bought it because I liked one song on it, but now like all the songs. Great music and great lyrics. I love how the words tell a story you can relate to.

Bon Jovi's first greatest hits album is entitled "Cross Road". The title is appropriate because by the time of its release in 1994, the group had really reached a true crossroads in their career. Bon Jovi had rode the wave of the hard rock/metal-like influence on the pop music scene in the late 1980s. By the time of 1992's "Keep the Faith", they still were doing what they do best - but now Alternative Music was beginning to dominate the pop scene. Therefore, I think its very appropriate that the group put out "Cross Road" and look back to determine what the next steps should be in their career. Following "Cross Road", Bon Jovi did move into another direction with the release of 1995's "These Days". While not as big a commercial success as what they had gotten used to, Bon Jovi did go into a different direction - delivering a "darker" album as opposed to the uplifting rock and power ballads that had become a trademark of the band. Following "These Days", the new "path" Bon Jovi took would be put on hold. It would be five years before they would release 2000's "Crush". When I first started listening to "Crush", I got very frustrated because I felt the album was weak, however this would be an album that deserved a full listen - because after getting past the first four tracks, I would discover that "Crush" would truly show that Bon Jovi had progressed along the path they took at the "Cross Road". It would show that Bon Jovi had matured and expanded their horizons. ... Read More
