It looks like many of the old rock heroes have made their best album in decades this latest year with AC/DC-Black Ice, Europe-Last look at Eden, Simple Minds-Graffiti soul and Kiss-Sonic Boom. We can now add Bon Jovi-The circle to that list because their new album is their strongest effort since "New Jersey" in the late 80's. They have truly gone full circle on their new album which is a huge rock album filled with plenty of new Bon Jovi classics, the new single "When we were beautiful" is outstanding and other grandiose stadium rockers like "Superman tonight" and "Broken promised land" will be on every Bon Jovi fan's lips this winter. Nothing is better than when music puts a big smile on your face and in this case, "The circle" makes me feel all warm inside.

My rating:
-12 classic Bon Jovi tunes! I'm glad u liked this one Kaj. Working class AOR in places like Kaj so nicely stated on my facebook page. The album of the year spot is taken in my book and also the song of the year spot but witch one will it be? There's so many but Work for the working man, Superman tonight, Brokenpromisedland, Thorn in my side and Happy now are all great contenders for the title. Some say this is a comeback but in my book they have never been away and 25 years on the top of the world and still delievering the goods!
