This Left Feels Right

March 25th 2008 03:16
Bon Jovi


As a massive Bon Jovi fan, I have accepted and loved everything that the band has delivered. However, their latest offering This Left Feels Right (“a Greatest Hits with a twist” according to BonJovi.com), goes against the band’s deserving definition of one of the world’s best rock bands.


When you think of Bon Jovi you automatically think of big guitars, loud drums and going off at their concerts. You think of Jon seducing his female fans with a beautiful ballad, while his male fans are wishing they could be like him. These fantasies are typical when you listen to Bon Jovi’s catalogue of hits. Unfortunately This Left Feel Right doesn’t leave much room for fantasies, but what did they expect when they only took fifteen days to record the album?

You could say that they have recorded the perfect dinner party CD. Jon, Richie, David, Tico and Hugh have gone down the experimental path of striping down their absolute classics and regurgitating them so you hardly recognize your beloved favorites.

The athem It’s My Life is one of the better rehashed songs on the CD. Instead of a fist-pumping rock song with lots of noise, the guys have forgotten to record guitars, drums and that wa-wa-wo voice instrument. Instead they have slowed the perfect kick-ass song right down and just gone with an orchestra arrangement.

This Left Feels Right is a spin-off off their 1994 best of release Crossroads, and is a huge disappointment to this Jovi fan.

I've never been a huge fan of Bon Jovi, he always sounded a bit generic to me.
