197. Bon Jovi / Crush. 2000. 2/5.

After a brilliant start, this album really is a let down. Which is a shame.

Bon Jovi, when they are at their best, really mix rockers and ballads well. Here on Crush, they have gone a long way overboard. Most of the songs here are slow, reflective love songs, aimed squarely at the hearts of women between the age of 16-40.

This is a real shame. It's My Life is one of my favourite Bon Jovi songs of all time, and was an extremely successful single for them in this country. And yet it is the only song of its type on the album. Strange and disappointing.

Rating : Certainly should have been better. 2/5.
