New Jersey (2010) (RMST) (SPECIAL EDITION) (2 BONUS TRACKS) Bon Jovi
Album Description:
After selling more than 12 million copies of SLIPPERY WHEN WET (and becoming the light-metal champions of the decade), Bon Jovi took its "Wanted Dead Or Alive" rock n' roll cowboy theme to the next level.
NEW JERSEY is Bon Jovi's fourth album, released on September 19, 1988. NEW JERSEY was particularly notable for producing five Billboard Hot 100 Top 10 singles, the most top ten hits to date for a hard rock album. NEW JERSEY was supported by the massive NEW JERSEY SYNDICATE TOUR, which ran from 1988 to 1990. Additionally, the album was supported by two home video releases: NEW JERSEY: THE VIDEOS (a collection of music videos from New Jersey) and ACCESS ALL AREAS (a chronicle of the band's world tour). The album was produced by Bruce Fairbairn and engineered by Bob Rock - two masters when it comes to maximizing a band's sound. Pledging allegiance to the band's home state, NEW JERSEY reeks of attitude, emotion, and the need to party. "Lay Your Hands On Me" is a venerable cock-rock anthem, while the hooks and chorus of "Bad Medicine" 'continued the band's Top 10 streak. "Blood On Blood" tells the story of childhood friends who maintain their bond to the end. "99 In The Shade" provides the musical backdrop for a group of friends taking an impulsive July cruise to the nearest shoreline. NEW JERSEY closes with "Love For Sale," a drunken sing-along about romance gone sour. The album represents Bon Jovi at the band's creative peak. Like a dream meeting of Bruce Springsteen and Clint Eastwood (with some Guns N' Roses thrown in for good measure), NEW JERSEY maintains Bon Jovi's harder-edged early sound while elevating the band to superstar status.
