Boring Arena Rock - By: Robert Walker, 24 Aug 2007 
Dont bother with this unless your into your commercial 1980,s boring arena, hair metal rock, its just not real rock n roll. Its just sterile & dreary.
Slippery When Wet --- My Favorite Bon Jovi Album - By: Jake M, 11 Jul 2007 
I love Bon Jovi & own eight of their albums but "Slippery When Wet" is my personal favorite, a classic, a must have albumin the rock music field, an essential!! All the songs on this disc are awesome & my favorites include "You Give Love A Bad Name", "Let It Rock", "Livin' On A Prayer" & "Wanted Dead Or Alive", all of which were released as singles at the time & were, huge hits wordwide. Another track on the disc that is a personal favorite of mine is the beautiful, "Never Say Goodbye", a masterpiece & ample proof that Bon Jovi have a nack of writing incrediable songs.
Jon & his band are awesome & their music most defiantly rocks --- I fully recommened this CD - 10/10 raiting from me.
Album Fact --- "Slippery When Wet" comes at no.12in the 100 best selling albums of the 80s.
Livin' on a Prayer anyone? - By: Sonny Sidhu, 18 May 2007 This album has some good points but to me most of the songs sounds like generic glam metal from the 80s. Most of the songs are generally happy clappy, sing/shout alongs & generally the kind of stuff you throw your hands into the air for.
For all the weak songs on the album there is obviously one REALLY good song that makes up for it, "Livin on a Prayer" which never gets boring & is such a great party anthem. Other notable songs are You Give Love a Bad Name, Without Love & I'd Die for You, though they're only ok songs. The organ solo on Let It Rock is awesome too but it's not long enough.
I would recommend this album on Livin on a Prayer alone, the other songs however I would only really recommend to glam metal enthusiasts.
one of the great sing a long rock albums - By: sean paul mccann, 20 Jul 2006 20 years old & still this albums sums up a generation of hairsprayed rock fans & the sing along,lighterin the air,ultimate feel good party album,an album that is simply fun to listen too & with great singing & sing a long until your lungs burst albums.Bon joviin 86' released this as their third album & world domination was theirs,stadium tours beckoned & a generation of denim wearing,big haired rock fans were born,i was too young for that but the albums greatness wasnt missed on me.
Certainly this is a big album,an album of anthems,maybein todays climate some of this sounds cheesy,but hey its still a great album,i doubt if the boys took this album too seriously,it is an album that has hasnt left peoples thoughts unlike bands like europe,ratt,extreme & so on,this album will always have a place among the greats.
The album is littered with great songs,let it rock,you give love a bad name,livin on a prayer,wanted dead or alive,raise your hands & id die for you but the rest are great as well.This isnt an album that changed the world by any means but its impact is still undenied,and yes this kind of music is pretty much dead now but if the darkness think they can walk with bon jovi at their peak then think again fools.
