Overview Edit

New Jersey is Bon Jovi's fourth album, released on September 19, 1988. New Jersey was particularly notable for producing five Billboard Hot 100 Top 10 singles, the most top ten hits to date for a hard rock album. New Jersey was supported by the massive New Jersey Syndicate Tour, which ran from 1988 to 1990. Additionally, the album was supported by two home video releases: New Jersey: The Videos (a collection of music videos from New Jersey) and Access All Areas (a chronicle of the band's world tour). The album was remastered and re-released in 1998, adding the music video for "Lay Your Hands on Me" as a bonus track.

3 stars New Jersey
Bon Jovi, always tried to be the harder part of pop. With his good looks and macho-yet-soft attitude, he was a sure hit with the women.
