Product description BON JOVI NEW JERSEY Amazon.com Full of hooky anthems and catchy riffs, New Jersey is Bon Jovi doing what they did best: pop metal meets Bruce Springsteen. It's oddly appealing, if somewhat dated nowadays, as the generation of adolescents that loved "Born to Be My Baby" and "Living in Sin" grew up and were replaced by a teen set with distinctly different tastes. Bon Jovi's more-than-passing flirtation with spaghetti-western imagery that ends with the hero riding off into the sunset is evident on songs like "Stick to Your Guns," "Ride Cowboy Ride," and "Wild Is the Wind." Stadium anthems like "Bad Medicine" and "Lay Your Hands on Me" showed that the band still knew how to have a good time. Oddly enough, the song that best stands the test of time is the understated (and humorous) "Love for Sale." --Genevieve Williams
