Keep the Faith Album Review Essay Example

has the power and the best mainstream voice as it can be heard when he starts singing the song with real emotions. This song clearly follows the typical structure of hard rock and it includes a catchy chorus as well as a memorable solo.

‘Keep the Faith’ is the second song on this album and almost manages to out stage the first song. This song is hopeful and everything remains calm. It should be noted that there is a beautiful section of the song as it slows down and a marching soldier like drum beat is also played and vividly, the emotions which are put are in the subsequent verses are fully touching. The songs ‘I’ll Sleep When I’m Dead as well as the ‘In These Arms’ for a long period of time remained as hits. The former in this case is a classic party song which is coupled with drum beats which are simple with a very good chorus although it has nothing much special. The latter one on the other hand is what can be referred to as an insanely catching despite the fact that it is presented with an ultimate simplicity. The song ‘Bed of Roses’ essentially makes a follow up of a very typical pattern which is accompanied by the play of the guitar riff and the soft piano. Although, the music is characterized with a very beautiful lyrics, Bon Jon normally wrote it while he was still on hangovers and this means that the lyrics represented his own feelings at that time.

The heaviest songs in this album are the ‘If I Was Your Mother’ and the ‘Fear’. The former between the

two is the heaviest song ever in the album since it's in cooperates the memorable works of Sambora. The latter one on its case has what can be referred to as a memorable riff as well as a very decent chorus although there is nothing much special in it. This album, according to my view seems to plunge in its quality as it approaches the end. This is because, for example, the song ‘Woman in Love’ appears to be just lyrically and musically ordinary. At the same time the song ‘Blame it on the love of rock and the roll’ appears to be a much weaker version of the song ‘I’ll Sleep When I’m Dead’. The song ‘I Want You’ normally has a very good chorus and at the same time its solo is very weak with verses which a just average.

Although I have so far talked about the first and the last song in this album, there is also another song in the same album which I feel is the most catching and selling in this the record. ‘Dry County’ is a song which is all about a very small town which has been hit by a fall of the oil industry, despite the fact that the inhabitants of the town normally relies on it for their survival. This clearly defines the epic ballad and it essentially starts with the dark piano, which consists of plenty of rising, climax as well as two long and greatly powerful solos on the guitar. It is indeed one of the most perfect songs in the 90s and it has a catchy chorus and lyrics which are exceptional.

The song entirely focuses on the hopelessness which is felt by people when faced by such kind of situations. Bon Jovi has continued to develop his own sound in a more introspective manner and this in my opinion will keep him relevant in the rock and roll music industry and thus ensure that he expands his market fetch.
