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

Customer Reviews

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

All downhill from here....
"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.

Great album
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.
