Oh my god! Jon Bon Jovi wants to be Springsteen. I thought he had got that out of his system decades ago and was happy with being Jon Bon Jovi (which is a pretty cool thing to be on its own merit). But no, this is his Springsteen album. It so desperately wants to be a Springsteen album. It has socially aware lyrics, it has rousing tales of families ground down by the system, it has tales of forgotten America, hell he even sings like Springsteen. But it must be so galling to make this inferior facsimile of Springsteen record, only for the boss to then turn up with “Letter to You” not a month later and go “that’s not a Springsteen record, this is a Springsteen record!
