Binding: Audio CDEAN: 0731453808928 Format: Enhanced, Original recording reissued, Original recording remastered Label: Island / Mercury Manufacturer: Island / Mercury MPN: 538089 Number Of Discs: 1 Publisher: Island / Mercury Release Date: February 09, 1999 Studio: Island / Mercury Editorial Review: Amazon.com: Slippery When Wet transformed Bon Jovi from minor-league poodle rockers to global superstars on the back of hit singles "You Give Love a Bad Name," "Never Say Goodbye," and, of course, "Living on a Prayer." From the scantily clad car-wash girls on the inner sleeve to the "You lost more than that in my back seat / Yeah!" lyrics, the album is blissfully untouched by irony and subtlety, which actually adds to its charm. With guitarist Richie Sambora and songwriter Desmond Child, Jon Bon Jovi has produced a slew of consistently memorable tunes, and this album contains its fair share of them. Slippery When Wet won't change your world, but it will, undoubtedly, rock it. --Ronita Dutta Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Great Rockin' Album!This is a a great album containing some of their biggest, most well known hits that are still being played on the radio today. If you're not really a big Bon Jovi fan and are not interested in acquiring their individual albums, or even their greatest hits compilations, but would like some of their best songs in your collection then this is the one to get! (the price is a steal nowadays!) Some albums have only one ot two great songs, this has several: "Livin' on a Prayer", "You Give Love a Bad Name", ... Read More Rating: - A True, Timeless Classic!The mid to late 80's, 1986-87 in particular, was a great time for music. This album came along at just the right time for me, age 11-12, just when I was really starting to get ''into'' music. I love almost all of the music from this time period, and this album is no exception. A friend of mine had the cassette, and when I would go over to visit we would listen to the tape from start to finish. At the same time, take the liner notes and work on memorizing all the lyrics. I now have the newly remastered ... Read More Rating: - Great CD! Awesome Tunes late 80's Band!This music is really great if you are an 80's and 90's hair band lover! Great Tunes!! Rating:  - The Bad Side of 1980s Musical OutputThe 1980s were certainly a very eclectic time for output in popular music. Especially for those of us who came of age during that decade. On the positive side, we had timeless albums such as The Joshua Tree, Moving Pictures, Master of Puppets and Remain in Light, among others. Bon Jovi's Slippery When Wet represents the bad side of the 80s - generic songs; a soulless processed drum sound; and over-produced "anthems." Bon Jovi, Motley Crue, Poison, all members of a shallow, talentless club. Rating: - Teen dreams par excellenceBon Jovi have copped heaps of flak over the years and their seeming decision to rely utterly on their sales figures as a defence is perhaps indicative itself of some of their limitations but lets stop the nit-picking for a moment and give credit where it is due because this is a great AOR-bordering-on-hard-rock album. The production by Bruce Fairbairn and the entire feel of the record are huger than huge. The songs are catchy and melodic yet still utilise the full band sound typical of hard rock ... Read More |
