Bon Jovi New Jersey [Remastered 2014] Though New Jersey contains several Jovi stadium anthems, including the single “Bad Medicine,” and though the album’s videos showed that the intricately layered and feathered coiffures were intact, this is where Bon Jovi began changing. The title offers a broad hint as to what Jon Bon Jovi in particular was trying to change into: short of renaming the album I Come from the Same Place as Bruce Springsteen, he could scarcely have been more obvious about his intentions. “Living in Sin,” indeed, takes Bon Jovi’s increasing obsession with Springsteen to the verge of pastiche. -Andrew Mueller2016 180g vinyl reissue [UK Import]
