 A hard rock classic August 18, 2008
I bought this on vinyl back in 1984 and I LOVE it : melodic , catchy , hard, well crafted rock songs.
Great drummer, vocalist and guitarist. It sounds fresh today and it is great for driving down the M4.
Downhill from here! November 22, 2007
Maybe they just became too popular but I 'discovered' Bon Jovi through the pages of Kerrang alongside Metallica and Iron Maiden. Back then these bands were almost taboo in the media and it was a relatively small club of people who followed heavy rock. They knew there was an honesty about the music they liked that gave a strong identity (to being a heedbanger). Bon Jovi pushed the commercial appeal of their music after this album losing an edge in favour of mass pop appeal. Their choice but they lost a bit of credibility.
So I would recommend this album to anyone who got into Bon Jovi latterly and have missed this album so far, it may not have an ultra glossy finish but has great songs and that youthful energy so many bands have on their first album.
The Great Bon Jovi Debut Album! July 27, 2007
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
1984's self titled gem "Bon Jovi" album was the first disc from Jon and his band and what a debut.
All the songs of this CD are great, catchy, legendary, just what you'd expect from Jon --- he and his band can do no wrong.
The CD starts off with a killer track, "Runaway" and finishes off with a killer track, "Get Ready". It was clear when you first heard this disc that Bon Jovi would become a legend and go on to even greater and with albums such as "Slippery When Wet", "New Jersey", "Keep The Faith" and "Bounce" everyone was poved right.
"She Don't Know Me" and "Shot Through The Heart" are 2 fine standout tracks.
 Bon Jovi's First Studio Album June 8, 2007

This is an excellent debut album. It doesn't compare much to many of their later efforts, due, in part, to the distinct eightyness of it, but is still very good. It opens with the legendary `Runaway', written by Jon Bon Jovi in 1980 before he had a band to play it, and continues with a series of songs that are of consistently high quality.

Great Album - The one Before the Ego's April 11, 2007
1 out of 3 found this review helpful
This is an awesome Album which does not have a bad song on it.
Bon Jovi never failed to capture this level of energy again after this an although they became very successful they did get stuck in the corporate rutt of churning out the same album after album.
If you Like BJ and have not got this buy it now as it is by far their best works to date.
