The tracks that follow lack individuality and don’t leave an impression that lasts longer than their duration. “Roller Coaster” might be a song with a potential, despite the strong “Maroon 5” vibe coming out of it. Rockers like “Living with the Ghost”, “Knockout” and “Labor of Love” are well-produced and satisfying to a certain extent however, way too restrained and familiar to generate the “wow” effect. Very few songs from “This House is Not for Sale” manage to leave behind a durable spark. The record flows wonderfully and quite consistently, however there’s just so little substance under that chummy, radio-ready facade. After that, however, things start becoming confusing. The charming idea behind the lyrics also adds up to the exciting atmosphere of the track. It’s safe, well-controlled and unobtrusive but quite appealing and peculiar at the same time. Bon Jovi’s signature formula, combined with some fresh elements, create a perfect new single. The opening title track is probably the finest moment of the album. All in all, “This House is Not for Sale”, is making a clear statement – Bon Jovi still have it in them and are going nowhere! The younger fans, however, are more likely to accept and appreciate this record. Previous generations who grew up with blockbuster records like “Slippery When Wet” and “New Jersey”, might get a little bit lost into this new much softer, sweeter and rather mainstream material. So to make things perfectly clear, if you want to hear some vintage pounding Bon Jovi sound, this might not be the album for you. “This House is Not for Sale” is a modern-day rock album that doesn’t really run 100% after the old-school formula. Styles, methods and sounds are evolving and there’s no need to be overdramatic about it. Let me start by saying that musicians change, love to experiment and will never stop exploring the endless realms of music. For that, he deserves all the respect he can get. He is the type of person who never gives up and is truly dedicated to his music and fans. There’s just simply no time to waste when music is so desperately trying to break out of your mind and soul. The long and quite exceptional songwriting partnership between Jon and Richie was what held the band together and the main reason behind their rose to stardom. Many thought that the day Richie left would also mark the end of the band itself. With guitarist Richie Sambora no longer in the current line-up of the band and a new house label, fans and critics held their breaths in deep anticipation of what will their new music sound like. This House Is Not For Sale Released: November 4, 2016īon Jovi are back with their thirteenth studio album titled “This House is Not For Sale”.
