Bon Jovi 1st album. The 9 tracks were all written by Jon Bon Jovi with either Richie Sambora, G. Karak (Track 1), J. Ponti (Track 4) or David Rashbaum (to later become David Bryan) (Tracks 5 and 6). Track 3 was written by M. Avsec and it is the only track ever to appear on a Bon Jovi album which wasn't written by Jon and the Band. This is the reason Jon refuses to play it live, although there are many bootleg videos available with it on.

Only 'Runaway' is now performed live. All the other are beginning to show there age a bit. Jon's voice has definitely improved since recording this. But for a first album it is definitely great stuff. Runaway was described as "radio friendly" in 1984, and it still rings true. I have always liked Roulette, but it is always criticized by books and other reviews.
