Product Description
From Amazon.co.uk
First of all, hats off to Bon Jovi for trying something different with This Left Feels Right--a selective collection of their most popular songs with a twist. That twist isn't a purely acoustic reworking, MTV unplugged style--anybody looking for that experience will be sorely disappointed by what's on offer. What Bon Jovi have done is re-record these songs in a completely different way while maintaining the original lyrics, melody and song structure. What's different then? Well, quite a bit actually. Check out the almost trip-hop beat and distorted vocal of "Wanted Dead or Alive", or the lazy soul of "Livin' on a Prayer". "It's My Life" is a beautiful piano-only standout, almost worth having the whole album for.
The tracklisting isn't perfect, concentrating largely on their 1980s period (there's nothing from These Days, for instance). As such, the venture works as an effective cheese-extraction exercise, keeping the elements that made the originals so great, but removing shouty, hairspray-fuelled "whoa-yeahs". What we get is something that is closer to Jon Bon Jovi's last solo offering--the criminally underrated Destination Anyway. It doesn't always work ("Bed of Roses" just sounds like a warbling cover of the powerful original and by the time they reach "Always" it's obvious they've run out of new twists), and no doubt there will be legions of bemulleted faithfuls who will denounce this as blasphemy of the highest order. Sure, it's probably just record-company filler, but it's a worthwhile investment and you won't be embarrassed to have it on when your mates come round. --Cortman Virtue

Not what I expected,
This review is from: This Left Feels Right (Audio CD)
It wasn't what I was expecting. I bought it because it was the most current "greatest hits" CD. It's sort of a mellow version of the songs, though. Which I didn't realize initially. I am still listening to it (despite being disappointed initially), and it's growing on me somewhat.

Bon Jovi Comes Of Age...,
By Werewolf Of London (California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: This Left Feels Right (Audio CD)
I've been a musician all my life and a Bon Jovi fan for the almost twenty-five years of the band's life. This Left Feels Right is an outstanding culmination of Jon, Ritchie and the band's work. What they have done here is far more rewarding than a collection of old hits with a new tune tossed in. If you are a real Bon Jovi fan and are not afraid of awesome new takes on old songs, you will love this CD. Look for the live concert DVD version of this... it is fantastic. Great work guys.

One of the worst albums from Bon Jovi!! An all-acoustic greatest hits package.,

This review is from: This Left Feels Right (Audio CD)
I just can't into this album and why would you ruin classic songs by going acoustic? Just tell me. Where is the logic in releasing an unplugged greatest hits album? Can you imagine Metallica or Gun N' Roses released an acoustic greatest hits package. I think not. Classic songs stripped down and unplugged just doesn't make the grade for me.Bon Jovi is one of the best metal bands of all-time but this album is absolutely the worst album from Bon Jovi. Avoid this album!!
