Album Review: Bon Jovi - This House Is Not For Sale

Liz Giuffre

The first and title track gets you in.

More Bon Jovi Bon Jovi

The first and title track gets you in - complete with its big guitar solo and "woah-oh-oh" chorus.

Bon Jovi IS in the house. Hang on for some classic lyrics like "I'll be giving you the finger but sticking out my chin" (Knockout) and, of course, the album's big ballad I Will Drive You Home. The last track moves The Jovi almost out of rock far enough to be adult contemporary (rocking chair rather than rock'n'roll?). But somewhere, among the soft tones and distinct lack of roaring guitar and driving drums, the Greek god (with still impossibly good hair) remains.
