The Circle (Bonus Track Version) – Bon JoviView More By Bon Jovi Our ReviewJon Bon Jovi may be getting older, his voice weathered by age, but he isn’t backing down from the anthemic rock of his youth. “We Weren’t Born to Follow” continues in his “rock as defiance” stance, while offering up a comfortable, conventional arena-rock anthem with a singalong chorus. “Work for the Working Man” shades towards the populism of John Mellencamp and Bruce Springsteen with its Sam Cooke chain-gang grunts backing a lush, modern-rock production. “Brokenpromiseland” continues in this worldview, where the deep recession of the new century is omnipresent. “When We Were Beautiful,” “Superman Tonight,” the slow unwind of “Fast Cars,” among the highlights, elicit the echo chambers of U2, evoking their deep seriousness, even as Bon Jovi himself sounds like a teenager in love. “Live Before You Die” has a Tim McGraw-like mortality tale hitched to its Jersey Camaro. The straightforward drive of “Thorn In My Side” is compressed into a wall of tension. The band settle in behind, offering grand harmonies while their veteran arrangements sound like second nature by now..

If you like Bon Jovi at their best which is powerful melodic choruses and blazing guitar licks and solos then this is your album. Thankfully, lives up to it's name (5 stars) The Circle is seen by many as a name fitting after the band took a Nashville detour with their last album; but in truth, Nashville wasn't such a big departure for a band that may have always covered itself in the mantle of pop metal but is, at its heart, simply a straight roots-rock band. In that sense, not since These Days has Bon Jovi produced an album like this - Crush, Bounce, Have a Nice Day, and Lost Highway all featured prod BiographyFormed: 1983 in New JerseyGenre: Rock Years Active: '80s, '90s, '00s, '10s After ushering in the era of pop-metal with their 1986 blockbuster Slippery When Wet and its hit singles “You Give Love a Bad Name,” “Wanted Dead or Alive,” and “Living on a Prayer,” Bon Jovi wound up transcending the big-haired ‘80s, withstanding changes in style and sound to become one of the biggest American rock bands of their time, selling over 120 million albums worldwide, and sustaining their popularity well into the new millennium. As the times changed, so did the band’s sound. They slowly...
