Editoral Review cliches? If youre Jon Bon Jovi, you scale back your bands ambitions, retool yourself as surprisingly accomplished indie film and TV actor, and (mostly) wait for the pop music tides to turn in your favor again. What does a wildly successful purveyor of 80s big hair power ballads do in an ensuing decade dominated by fervent shoe-gazing and other attendant alt. But JBJ and guitarist/collaborator Richie Sambora didnt let their bands lukewarm 90s fortunes dampen their knack for hook-savvy songcraft, as this muscular anthem-fest argues at virtually every turn. BJs songs here may be as infectious as ever, yet theyre seldom mere confections, often infused with alternating doses of bracing cynicism (the title tracks sarcastic riposte to the 04 election) and reflective, often bittersweet takes on histories both personal and otherwise. If it sometimes stoops to formula--the droning, metallic ethos of the obligatory big ballad "I Am" cant overcome some equally perfunctory lyricsits also an album with its share of warm surprises, be they unexpected nods to Dylan ("Last Man Standing," the acoustic idealism of "Bells of Freedom"), the hard-edged "I Want to Live" or a winning duet with Sugarlands Jennifer Nettles, "Who Says You Cant Go Home. " Bon Jovi may deliver a sonically burnished triumph here by largely going back to the future--yet does it with one ear crucially cocked towards the anxious energy of the recent past. This Dual Disc edition also features all album tracks but one in High Resolution Surround Sound as well as the video for "Have a Nice Day" and an 04 Live From Atlantic City featurette with six live cuts. -- Jerry McCulley ..
