Customer Reviews Odd collection There is nothing new, and the choice of albums is strange. As a Bon Jovi fan, this is a disappointing collection. "Bon Jovi" and "New Jersey" are both remastered, but to my dismay, "Blaze Of Glory" is NOT remastered. There are no new liner notes, just the same CD inserts as the original albums. My recommendation is to buy the remastered CDs individually. At least you'll get the jewel cases too. Uh Uh "Bon Jovi" and "New Jersey" are indeed remastered, but for many, the real draw of this set would be the thought of Blaze of Glory being so, too. Despite previous reviews stating so, Blaze of Glory in this set is NOT remastered. There is no value added to this set. The CD's and CD booklets are thrown in directly from the individual packaging with nothing additional save for the pictured box which has CD holders that keep far too firm of a grip. If you need remasters, buy the two remastered albums separately. . Worth it for Blaze of Glory remastered For people who didn't discover Bon Jovi until their breakthrough SLIPPERY WHEN WET, their self-titled debut album is a surprisingly durable blast of 80's pop/metal. This is an odd collection, but certainly not a bad idea. NEW JERSEY received a far less favorable critical reception than SLIPPERY, but it's hardly a dud album. There are 5 hit songs, and even the filler isn't as bad as cheesy SLIPPERY cuts like "I'd Die For You" or "Social Disease. " But the real treat here is finally getting a remastered version of BLAZE OF GLORY. All the Bon Jovi catalog titles have been remastered, up through 1995's THESE DAYS. But Jon Bon Jovi's solo project, tied to the film YOUNG GUNS II had been largely ignored until now. Only two hits, the title song and the all-but-forgotten gem "Miracle," are here. But the disc itself is more focused and listenable than much of the band's output from the 90's. If you don't already have the remastered discs, this is a reasonable investment. . .
