HMV Review

With These Days, Bon Jovi firmly established themselves as an adult contemporary act. They still have their fair share of rockers, but they seem half-hearted and incomplete. Instead, the band sounds the most comfortable with love ballads and working class anthems, from hits This Ain't a Love Song and Lie to Me, to the acoustic Diamond Ring. In fact, as the years go by, Bon Jovi gets musically stronger. Not only are their best songs stronger now, their playing is more accomplished. Keeping these improvements in mind, it's no surprise that the group was one of the few pop-metal bands to sustain a career in the mid-'90s. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Rovi

    全体的に落ち着いたアルバムです。 それまでのハードロックの要素はあまり感じられないため、物足りないと感じる人もいらっしゃるのではないでしょうか。 しかし本当に美しい曲ばかりです。 ボンジョヴィのアルバムはすべて聴いていますが、ジョンとリッチーのソングライティングの才能を最も感じたのがこのアルバムでした。 なので個人的にはこのアルバムが一番好きです。

    あ、これも持ってたわ。でも曲が思い出せない(汗)ここらへんでBON JOVIに別れを告げた気がする。クオリティは高かったと思う。あとは好みの問題。3枚目までが好きだからこれはあんまり聴いてないです。

    彼らの失敗作として取り上げられてますけど…グランジ的な後ろ向きの歌詞がそうさせたのでしょうか?ダークな雰囲気も出ていてそれまでの彼らとのギャップについていけなかったのかもですね。個人的には一番好きなアルバムで聴きこむほどにハマっていくアルバムは彼らには少ないだけに名盤だと思います☆
