Bon Jovi - Bon Jovi - incl. 4 Bonus Tracks

From the opening track, 'Runaway,' to the sweaty arena rock of 'Get Ready,' which closed the album, Bon Jovi's debut is a minor gem from the early days of hair metal. The album boasts a pretty consistent hard rock attack, passionate playing, and a keen sense of melody. The prominence that keyboardist David Bryan (credited as David Rashbaum in the liner notes) gets on this record is an indicator, perhaps, that Bon Jovi had more than a passing interest in the pop market. Mixing Journeylike '70s rock ('She Don't Know Me') with shout-along stadium anthems ('Love Lies'), the self-titled Bon Jovi lay the foundation for the band's career. Includes 4 live bonus tracks.
