I like it. A bit more mellow than we are use to but it still is a very good album, I play it all the time, especially in my car
I was couscously optimistic with this album, what with last years ‘Burning Bridges being a heartbreaking crap-fest, and fans so quick to praise this new album as “his best since the 80's” even though at the time there was a total of 2 singles from the album available online. But after waiting patiently all week, and marathoning ALL 13 (plus 2 bonus discs) of their previous albums, I finally got my hands of this new Deluxe CD…and it truly is amazing! Like wow what a pleasant surprise! It is a fantastic blend of rock and roll mixed with the band's humble sincerity. Many thought after the band lost one of it's great founding members that their quality would slip. No such luck! The 2 newcomers fit in perfectly with the original 3. The songs are brilliant. I can't stop singing 'This House is Not for Sale’, ‘Knockout’, ‘Labour of Love’, and ‘Born Again Tomorrow’. And it's not just their singles that rock the show either. Track 12 really is the closing to the album and it screams and thankfully farewell to the listener, but the 5 bonus tracks that follow are still amazing! (Even the one from Burning Bridges) Pre-release people were saying this was an album for the fans, while I think that may be true, this album really is about the band's integrity and them saying “hey, we've been through all this and nobodies taking it away, and nobodies stopping this train”! Many aging rock-stars these days (pun) are hollow, wrinkled shells of their prime and continue to disappoint fans with constant band member changes and just really showing their age. Jon Bon Jovi and co. while not the rock stars they once were, still act like it, perform like it, and have the passion for their music! They're still the best touring band in the world and in my opinion, whether or not you like theit music, one of the BEST bands in the world!
Bon Jovi's 14th studio album, ‘This House is Not for Sale,’ which finds Jon returning “home” on his own terms, to the same label he signed his first (and only) record deal with.
Produced by John Shanks and Jon Bon Jovi, much of the new album was recorded in the same New York City studio where the band cut its first album in 1983 – Avatar (formerly the Power Station), with additional recording at Electric LadyStudios.
“The band became even closer over the past few years as a result of what we've been through and, fortunately, it all worked out with the label,” he said. “Now we have a great album with something to say and nothing to prove.”
‘This House is Not For Sale’ is Bon Jovi at its finest, biggest and most self-aware.
“I knew the album was complete when the songs that began with an ‘I’ started ending with a ‘We’.”
Jon even takes a lyric from a sign in one of his Foundation's Soul Kitchen restaurants which reads “All Are Welcome at Our Table.” “I like the idea of inclusion,” he says.
No small statement from a man whose career is defined by anthems that have united generations for the past three decades.
