BON JOVI
The thirteenth full-length studio album by legendary American Melodic Rock/Hard Rock band.
The first release since the departure of former guitarist Richie Sambora in 2013 (although he receives a co-writing credit on the single "Saturday Night Gave Me Sunday Morning"), with Shanks handling the lead guitar parts, which being their only album to date to be recorded officially as a trio. "Burning Bridges" also is band's last album to be released through Mercury Records, marking the end of their 32-year relationship with the label. "Burning Bridges" was conceived to fulfill Bon Jovi's commitment to Mercury Records, as the band and label could not agree on adjusted terms for the band's recording contract. It is also the first album in 29 years to not feature a credit by Desmond Child, who has co-written or produced at least one song on every Bon Jovi album since 1986's "Slippery When Wet".
The album consist of new songs, as well as formerly unreleased and unfinished songs. According to Jon Bon Jovi, the album serves as a "fan record" to tie in with an accompanying international tour: "It's songs that weren't finished, that were finished, a couple of new ones like the one we released as a single 'We Don't Run'."
Usually, this kind of hodgepodge is called a contractual obligation or a stopgap, but "fan album" not only sounds kinder, it also identifies precisely the audience that would be interested in this brief, power ballad-heavy collection. In a way, "Burning Bridges" clears the deck for a new incarnation of Bon Jovi, the first where guitarist Richie Sambora is no longer part of the equation. Sambora gets a co-credit on "Saturday Night Gave Me Sunday Morning," a song dating back to "The Circle" that's easily one of the liveliest things here, rivaled by "I'm Your Man," which punches like it was left over from "New Jersey". Elsewhere, things are pretty turgid, as Bon Jovi tries in vain to splice Coldplay with Springsteen in an attempt to scale previously unheard heights in arena rock. The sound is there, but not the songs. Apart from "Fingerprints", which benefits from a hint of 12-strings from "Wanted Dead or Alive", these seven songs have no flair and virtually no melody, a pretty clear indication that Bon Jovi completed "Burning Bridges" out of a sense of obligation, not inspiration, but just in case you missed the point he lays it all out in the closing title song. Here, Jon Bon Jovi doesn't mince words about his label, singing "After 30 years of loyalty, they let you dig the grave / Now maybe you can learn to sing or even strum along / Well I'll give you half the publishing, you're why I wrote this song", then delivering the coup de grâce with the chorus: "Here's a last song you can sell / Let's call it "Burning Bridges", it's a sing-along as well... hope my money and my masters buy a front-row seat in hell"...
The album debuted at No. 13 on Billboard, and No. 3 on Rock Albums on its release, selling 19 000 copies in the first week. The album has sold 67 000 copies in the United States as of August 2016.
