Better Than Slippery When Wet? Revisiting Bon Jovi's New Jersey
Bon Jovi's New Jersey was one of the biggest albums of 1988, producing hit after hit and helping cement the band's place at the top of the rock world. But after nearly four decades, how well does it hold up? In this video, we discuss our memories of Bon Jovi before New Jersey was released, what we thought when we first bought the album back in the day, and how it sounds after spending the past week revisiting it track by track. Most importantly, we tackle the big question: Is New Jersey actually better than Slippery When Wet? Let us know your thoughts in the comments.
