Always Run to You (album track)

Posted on May 16, 2012 by admin

Now, this song is one of the ones that I actually have already done a Random Song pick for, back in April of 2010.  The only problem is that now I don’t remember the intro that I wrote for the post for ‘The Hardest Part is the Night’ a couple of weeks ago.  I probably should have saved it somewhere…

Late to the Party (again)

Posted on May 9, 2012 by admin

I did know that they were going to run another concert video on the Bon Jovi site tonight.   The only problem was that tonight was the first break in the rain in days, and my lawn was in dire need of an encounter with the lawnmower.

The Hardest Part is the Night (album track)

Posted on May 2, 2012 by admin

I just realized exactly how much the songs on this particular album blend together in my memory.  I was sure that I had already written an article on this song for the Random Song category.   I had already written the intro to this post–based on the fact that I had already reviewed the song once, and this time I was going to find a different angle…

Tokyo Road (album track)

Posted on April 25, 2012 by admin

Once you get into the meat of this song, it’s one of the better rock songs 7800° Fahrenheit, with significantly less synthesizer than most of the other tracks. The problem?  Getting to it.

Silent Night (album track)

Posted on April 18, 2012 by admin

I suppose that this particular song is as close as 7800° Fahrenheit actually gets to delivering a true power ballad.  That being said, for a Bon Jovi ballad made during the 80′s, this song feels distinctly underpowered.

King of the Mountain (album track)

Posted on April 11, 2012 by admin

This is one of those songs that I usually never ever listen to.   Every time that I heard that pounding intro start up, I just hit skip.

I actually checked the play count on this one.  (Yes, I really do over-analyze my listening habits.  I think it’s fun.  I’m also a nerd.)  I’ve only ever played this whole song five times since I got this computer.

Well, I hadn’t been spending enough time on managing the Posts by Artist page.  I really should’ve updated it every time that I added a new artist tag, but I got lazy.

I finally got around to taking care of it today, so now it’s a complete index again.

Only Lonely (album track)

Posted on March 28, 2012 by admin

7800º Fahrenheit has an extremely distinct sound, almost all of it derived from the synthesizers that Dave’s contributing. Now, most of the time, I think Dave’s work gives the band’s music a lot of its soul–well, ‘Dry County’ is pretty much proof of that. But the synths used here just leave me feeling a bit like I’ve time warped all the way back to my childhood.

The Price of Love (album track)

Posted on March 21, 2012 by admin

Not much of an intro on this song, but between Tico and Richie, it hits hard.  Between that intro and the melody and overall sound of the rest of the song, I like it a lot, and it’s one of my most listened-to songs on the entire album.  There’s some very synthesizer-sounding keyboards throughout the song, though.  It’s got that one particularly synthetic sound that really identifies this album almost instantly.

In and Out of Love (album track)

Posted on March 14, 2012 by admin

This song has a rather repetitive chorus–but even at that, it’s certainly not the worst or even the most repetitive song that I’ve ever heard.  And the chorus is insanely catchy anyway.  (Yes, I have had the chorus of this song stuck in my head.)
