New Jersey hinted that Jon Bon Jovi wished to be taken as seriously as Bruce Springsteen; Keep the Faith confirms that notion. However, Jon Bon Jovi is the man who sang "I've seen a million faces and I've rocked them all" without so much as smirking. That's why the songs on Keep the Faith where Bon Jovi attempts profundity--like the interminable, pointless "Dry Country"--are virtually unlistenable, and why ear candy such as "I'll Sleep When I'm Dead" and "Bed of Roses" is harmlessly beguiling. --Andrew MuellerAlbum Description

Bon Jovi's finest hour........2007-06-03
The Springsteen influence is remarkable on the album opener "I Believe": it merges the signature Bon Jovi sound treated to a more updated version and the gospel revivalist feel of Springsteen songs. Sambora's guitar wail is carefully placed under the thick bass stomp and Bon Jovi's trademark screams, but the melody is gripping and infectious. As with earlier releases, Desmond Child helped them finish two other hits: the ambitious title track, driven by an amazing vocal delivery, profound lyrics, and Torres' drum syncopation; and the more upbeat number "I'll Sleep When I'm Dead", which revisits the band's earlier hook-laden cuts, chock full of catchy choruses and harmony vocals.
The reason why Keep the Faith stands out from its predecessor is certainly the inclusion of songs exhibiting more maturity and depth. "Dry Country", at nearly minutes, is an amazing melodic hard rocker graced by a timeless melody. The piano theme that sets the tone of the piece is cleverly repeated during the pre-chorus and simultaneously as the lyrics are delivered -- it's a sign of Jon Bon Jovi's mastery of hook and songwriting. Even Richie Sambora, whose guitar work has always been behind the band's crushing rhythm section, gets to put his lead playing on display, cutting it loose for a good two minutes.
Likewise, while still serving his pop-driven rock ballads in the form of "I Want You", Jon Bon Jovi also begins to show signs of artistic growth as both a lyricist and musician. The combination of "In These Arms" and "Bed of Roses" is easily the band's most powerful one-two punch ballad ever. The former sees considerable input by David Bryan; he injects neat keyboard work which introduces the main melody for Jon to sing over and add his own touch to it. The latter, on the other hand, is quite possibly the band's most moving song to date. Its beautiful guitar intro, piano motif, and the profoundly emotive vocal style are hard to match in the poppy spectrum of hard rock. Though they may have had bigger hits on the charts, "Bed of Roses" is the band at their most expressive, and Jon Bovi Jovi at his songwriting best.
More guitar-based songs also appear on the CD, such as the bass-rich "If I Was Your Mother" with a cool chorus; the blues-inflected "Blame It on the Love of Rock & Roll" with its relentless rhythm groove; and the unapologetically loud "Woman in Love", driven by Jon Bon Jovi's repeated chorus shout.
In many ways, Keep the Faith is the band's finest moment. Unlike their albums released in the 80's, it has a more timeless quality to it and crosses the boundaries of happy-go-lucky pop rock tunes that formed much of that era. Sadly, with the follow-up to this record, These Days, Bon Jovi would lose their appeal to many a long-time fan whilst winning over a whole new legion of followers. They have always been a band that managed to keep up-to-date with what achieves stardom.
Bonjovi-Keep the Faith.......2007-05-18
There are lots of great Rock albums but there are few that out-distance the range of versatility and depth that "Keep the Faith" keeps presenting throughout every song. If you've ever come across an album that has a mysterious healing balm for the soul, this one you will notice also resurges your mind, body and spirit. Give it a Shot, and it will give you the boost you needed.
Awesome CD.......2007-05-04
MY PERSONAL FAVORITE.......2007-02-17
BON JOVI MATURES AND COMES OF AGE WITH KEEP THE FAITH........2007-02-12
Going into the new decade of the 1990's, BON JOVI would still be enjoying the fruits and excesses to its fullest that the good life has to offer as a result of their increasing popularity which would now be compared with another legendary fellow New Jersey native icon, The Boss himself, MR. BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN. BON JOVI would now be taken seriously as a legitimate Rock n' Roll force to be reckened with which elevated the legend of this band further on top of the world. With all of this in mind, BON JOVI were better than ever which continued burning on fire with every album they recorded and were now a big concert draw attraction everywhere they went. Their fan base just kept growing while more women continued flocking to their concerts more than ever from everywhere around the globe just to get a glipse of them. With the huge and enormous success of their legendary party albums "SLIPPERY WHEN WET" from 1986 and the album which bares the name of the band's own home state "NEW JERSEY" from 1988, everything BON JOVI touched turned into gold. But despite all of the huge successes of their albums and their escalating fame and fortune, BON JOVI still would not rest on their fame and fortune alone or their laurels. At the same time, BON JOVI was going through some changes called life. BON JOVI were now showing starting signs of maturity with age and were now gradually growing out of their party stage. These new changes in the band would forever change and affect their music as musicians and songwriters in a more positive way. It was now time for BON JOVI, or should I say lead singer and frontman Jon Bon Jovi, lead and rhythm guitarist Richie Sambora, bassist Alec John Such, keyboardist David Bryan and drummer Tico "The Hit Man" Torres to head back into the recording studio and record the new follow-up album to the extremely successful "NEW JERSEY" album. Again, the usual questions would now arise on everyone's mind, can BON JOVI do it again and top the "NEW JERSEY" album? The whole world would soon get their answer. BON JOVI would record, complete and hand in to Mercury Records, a new album that would describe the band's new personality and begin a whole new era for BON JOVI, "KEEP THE FAITH." In my opinion, "KEEP THE FAITH" ranks with their best albums to date. "KEEP THE FAITH" is also a more serious down to earth album with powerful lyrics not heard before on their prior albums.
"KEEP THE FAITH" has a far better mature Rock n' Roll sound which is being supported with superior lyrics. In my opinion, "KEEP THE FAITH" is a message for the whole world which is easy to figure out. BON JOVI still has their own special blend sound fully in tact and it shows when you hear the Rockers such as the powerful "I Believe," the realistic "Keep The Faith," the anthem of the 90's "I'll Sleep When I'm Dead," "In These Arms," the rockin' "If I Was Your Mother," the ten minute ballad turned Rocker "Dry County," the vintage BON JOVI Rocker "Woman In Love," the haunting Rocker "Fear," the passionate soulful Rocker "Blame It On The Love Of Rock & Roll" and the heartfelt Rocker "Little Bit Of Soul." Believe me when I say that Richie Sambora just tears these Rockers up with his masterful well skilled guitar playing. Richie really kicks a*s in more ways than one.
BON JOVI would also record two slow beautiful Rock ballads which would show a more humbler side of the band. In my opinion, the legendary "Bed Of Roses" and "I Want You" are among the band's best ever slow ballads. Jon Bon Jovi sings all of these Rockers with a more mature polished sound never heard or felt on the previous albums. On top of that, the powerful lyrics just adds more life to their songs which solidifies the power and energy of the whole album.
I would like to highly recommend buying this legendary album for everyone to own as a valuable and important part of their own personal music collection. This incredible album will definitely stand the test of time and will always be around to be enjoyed, appreciated and cherished for many years to come, NOW AND FOREVER.
In closing, despite the huge success of "KEEP THE FAITH," the BON JOVI legend still does not even come close to ending here. In reality, it is still only the beginning. BON JOVI'S place in Rock n' Roll history is now well secured and will never be forgotten. Now considered legitimate icons, BON JOVI would move on to better green pastures and record more great albums than ever before. With this in mind, there would still be more tales and stories in the BON JOVI legend that would still need to be conquered, told and written in new pages and chapters in their storied career. But that, my fellow readers and reviewers, you will have to stay tuned and read about at a later date. So here's to you Jon, Richie, David, Tico and Alec. I hope this review did you more justice and added more to your legend. And as the saying goes, "AND THE REST IS ROCK N' ROLL HISTORY," am I wrong? Thanks for reading my review and I hope you enjoyed reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it for your reading pleasure. I also hope that you will read all of my other reviews in the near future when time permits. BON JOVI RULES. Long Live Rock n' Roll. Rock out always and take it easy. Forever In Rock, John L.

If Faith Evans's self-titled debut was inexplicably entwined in the rise of the Bad Boy empire, her eagerly anticipated follow-up, Keep the Faith, has been further steeped in the history of hip-hop--before anyone heard a note. There are plenty of ballads here ("No Way" and "Lately I" being the best), and Evans doesn't hesitate to mine her emotional turmoil for lyrical material, but it's the welcome inclusion of sublime mid-tempo grooves ("Sunny Days," "Life Will Pass You By") and party jams like "All Night Long" that make this album a sure-fire classic. Forget the hype and enjoy the sound of Evans's gospel-trained voice riding the old-school beats in the addictive "Love Like This." The most interesting thing about this album is not Evans's personal trials but that despite them, her voice is still as sweet as the caramel kisses she sings about. --Rebecca WallworkCustomer Reviews:

My First Love - this song makes me cry every time... it's just beautiful. I don't know this for a fact, but I imagine that she is talking about Biggie. Just my guess.
Love Like This - a club BANGA!! The reason why I bought the album... I remember when this song came out. I was pregnant and couldn't get enough of it. LOL.
Keep The Faith - so inspirational!
Yes, this review is 7 years old, but if you have the chance, pick up this album and get some FAITH!
Faith is excellent!.......2005-07-22
I was blown away by the depth of her voice and range she has. Faith style is similar to Kelly Price which is never a down side at all. I love when artists use their lyrics and runs to get their point across than some sexy video or beside another rapper.
I love Faith's slow jams like NO Way and Anything you need! This girl can blow! Why can't she get some more love?
My favs: Lately I, Carmel Kisses, No Way, Anything you need,and Love like this.
This album Keep the Faith is definitely an R&B classic!

The Last Great Bon Jovi Record. .......2006-07-10
Bon Jovi's Answer To The 90's Grunge Bands.......2004-07-26
Simply Put - Bon Jovi at their Best.......2004-07-08
Although the album is titled "Keep the Faith", the song "Keep the Faith" isn't the first song. Bon Jovi picked the song "I Believe" for the first song. This is a true "Arena Rock" song and the perfect song to open the collection with. Bon Jovi rocks hard in this song. The real star of this song is going to be drummer Tico Torres who is going to have some thundering percussions that will really steal this song. The "Arena Rock" roots continue with the title track "Keep the Faith". Sometimes Alec John Such is the forgotten member of Bon Jovi, but his bass work won't go unnoticed in this particular song. While Jon Bon Jovi's vocals are awesome in this song, it is Jon's spoken words about 2/3 of the way into the song ("Walking in the Footsteps...") that really make an impact.
Things begin to take a different a different spin in "I'll Sleep When I'm Dead". This song almost sounds like mid 1990s Bryan Adams song (perhaps Adams was influenced by the band). This song doesn't have the "arena rock" feel of previous works by Bon Jovi and almost has a bluesy beat to it. This time its David Bryan's keyboards that are going to surface in this song. Another song that has a similar Adams-like feel to it will be "Blame It on The Love of Rock and Roll". Finally, a third song that will have a the blues feel is the final track "Little Bit of Soul". Both of these songs show that Bon Jovi is ready to branch out into new directions.
Without a doubt, the best song on this album is "In These Arms". This may be the best song ever done by the band. In 1993, this song did get some radio airplay, but it seemed to disappear from the airwaves within a few years. This song has a lot of intensity and passion. Everyone in the band - Jon's vocals, Richie Sambora's guitar, David's keyboards, Alec's bass, and Tico's percussion all have their moments in the song. Jon probably is the real star of the song - showing as good a vocal range as he showed in any Bon Jovi song. You really feel that Jon wants the woman he refers to in this song - "In These (his) Arms". This song does have more of a pop feel that an Arena Rock feel, but whatever it is - everything just clicks perfectly here.
The song "Bed or Roses" is more of an epic-like song. This song has a softer feel, but once again Jon's vocals come to the forefront on this song. You'll hear the passion in his voice as he sings.
Track 7 is perhaps a track that really shows that Bon Jovi has matured and arrived on the scene. The track "Dry County" takes more of a historical perspective and this is an area I never saw Bon Jovi go in before. "Dry County" is a masterpiece discussing the plight of those who went into the great west in search of oil and prosperous farming back in the late 1800s. Here again is another new direction by the band and this works perfectly. The song may be almost 10 minutes long, but you won't get tired of it.
Songs such as "Woman in Love" and "Fear" won't disappoint. They will remain true to the roots of the Bon Jovi sound. The song "I Want You" is a bit of a letdown - this almost has a start to a song that would follow this album called "Always" which is a very pop-ish Bon Jovi ballad.
The collection has some nice liner notes. All of the lyrics and songwriting credits are included. There is a page included for credits and "thank yous". Perhaps the only let-down about the liner notes is that when the band members are listed, the corresponding instruments they play are not (a disadvantage for new Bon Jovi fans). Overall, this is Bon Jovi at their peak in their careers and this album comes highly recommended.
Stranded on a Desert Island Recently?.......2003-11-25
Let's get right to the heart of the matter, shall we? On "Keep the Faith," one of the best albums ever recorded (if not the best), "Dry County" is one of the best songs ever (if not THE best). It is an auditory testament to a) how good this band can be, b) the concept of perfection, and c) the purpose of music on Earth. A doctoral thesis could be written on the purpose and power of the near 10 minute epic in the haunting key of d minor that sits at the number 7 track position on this recording, and I am hard pressed to not start writing one here. But I need to get through the whole album in 1000 words...
You've got Stairway, Freebird, Layla, Bohemian Rhapsody, and a simple answer as to why LESS than 2 million people of the entire American population are lucky enough to possess the knowledge that "Dry County" is pretty much the peak of musical epics: it was written by a) Bon Jovi, b) an "80's band", c) an "80's band" in the NINETIES, and d) never released as a domestic single, thus not generating the grape-vine mystique that safe, ridicule-immune "70's bands" wound up scooping up with all of their "legendary" anthems. For the last time: Bon Jovi, for all of their popularity, will always be under-respected, and there's nothing cheesy about any of this.
If you read on, you may learn something before slamming this review for being narcissistic and preachy. "Keep the Faith" was an album released on November 3, 1992. Only Jovi and Aerosmith (with the tail end of the GNR train) were surviving into the era that was the beginning of the still-obvious crash of quality "commercial" music as we know it. The most important thing for any Jovi supporter to know is that this album, albeit without any real marketing effects of the "Dry County" epic, was a huge reason for the band to be able to still be calling their careers a success into their THIRD decade now. Smash hit single "Bed of Roses" pushed album sales hard (and appropriately, as this song itself is a 6 minute artistic and commercial triumph), as well as did lesser, more "supportive sellers" but equally great pieces of music, "In These Arms," "I'll Sleep When I'm Dead," and the title track. To my immense shock, only 2 million copies have been moved. What's more, many regard Bon Jovi's career as largely dormant in the 90's! That, coupled with people saying this is ok but no "classic", has me yet again scratching my head at the general public. Who and what defines "classic?" anyway?
But Jon, Richie, David, Tico, and Alec did make some noise with this masterpiece, keeping their reunited heads above the debris-filled undertoe called the 90's. Being big as ever outside of America, their touring (allowing the public to see a more rocking, jamming and driving side to them) fueled their stance at not being an 80's throwaway. And for all the people who hate Bon Jovi, they couldn't stop this band from achieving something VERY lucky and VERY deserved: for the next few years, Bon Jovi stuck to their guns and cohabitated with all the other bands that were essentially Bon Jovi's antithesis. Somehow, they survived the public execution of the rest of the "80's bands", and from those battle scars, they now have carte blanche to make music to the end, big sellers or not. So that, boys and girls, is how the catchy but thin "It's My Life" single and "Crush" album were able to still have a shot with record company promotion and make some people aware for the first time of a Jersey band known as Bon Jovi...20 years after the fact. Well, better late than never to have a 3rd comeback.
The specifics:
There is no filler on this album. NONE. There is creativity and emotion of the highest level. If you are one of those people who finds Bon Jovi to be just a bit too light for you, this is your album (Check out the metallic thomping on "If I Was Your Mother" and "Fear"). If you are a sucker for the ballads, this is your album (Aside from "Bed of Roses," "I Want You" is perhaps their best ballad ever, a template for the derived future hit "Always"). If you respect Richie but aren't big on Bon Jovi, this is your album ("Dry County" and "Keep the Faith" have the most ungodly solos you'll ever hear). If you prefer their bluesier moments, this is your album ("Little Bit O Soul").
THE DIVERSITY - I NEVER get bored of this album, over a decade after when it came out (I bought it on the release date). It's respectable for musicians to do different things - it's nothing short of divine if it all comes together and actually works.
I know it sounds shallow to judge something the "greatest ever," and I do know there's a huge difference between one's FAVORITE and what one considers to be the BEST.... but I don't use those terms loosely. I can't believe how few people give this album the royal treatment it so earnestly deserves. And especially the critics! Never trust them anyway, but it's heartbreaking to read how ignorant some people are atleast in one area, that being the band that is Bon Jovi. Not so long ago, this album was huge. Now, between "Livin on a Prayer," "Always," and "It's My Life," all of the sudden it's one of their LESSER KNOWN(????). I'm just righting a subjective wrong - and with words, not bombs. Just goes to show you what's up with this crazy messed up world we live in, from the small scale to the grand. Keep the Faith.
for the faithful fans.......2002-11-28
The more the press was talking about a possible break up within the band, the more these boys proved them wrong.
The opening track I BELIEVE is a statement of confidence, KEEP THE FAITH is a plead to fans not to believe the hype and BLAME IT ON THE LOVE OF ROCK & ROLL explains it all in its title.
Jon delivers three great ballads: IN THESE ARMS (very arena-anthem-like...we sung on top of our lungs at their 1993 concert...), BED OF ROSES is maybe a bit over-rated, and I WANT YOU is the closest to a Diane Warren style song.
And then comes my favourite: IF I WAS YOUR MOTHER is the stand out nugget: would you let me be as close to you as your beloved mom?...
Desmond Child is part of the party also this time (I'LL SLEEP WHEN I'M DEAD is sooo much of a fun rock tune!).
I only have a complaint: 4 years always in between albums??? Guys your releases are the long-awaited kind!

A stunning and pleasant surprise.......2003-12-06
With that being said, I was blown away by this album. While it is true that some songs (Bed of Roses, Always, I'll Be There for You) would naturally translate into the smooth flowing music created by a string quartet, the tracks originally sounding harder (It's My Life, Everyday, Lay Your Hands On Me) take on a flavor all their own.
If you have never listened to Bon Jovi before (shame on you two or three people), I advise you to listen to the original songs, then see how well they have translated into this form. For the rest of us, who already know how many faces have been seen and all of us who have been rocked, get this disc while it lasts.

It seemed a departure for the band toward what "everybody else" was doing and it just didn't work.Some of the song intros I thought they were gonna break into "Phylidephia Freedom"or 'Disco Inferno".

Album Description
Leo Smit has an impressive pedigree as an American composer and musician. A virtuoso pianist, he has worked closely with such legends as Stravinsky, Balanchine, Copland and Stokowski. He has set more that 75 of Emily Dickinson's poems to music, grouping the works into cycles about related subject matter. The disc contains the world premiere recordings of three of those cycles- Childe Emilie- Memories and Fantasies of Childhood, The Celestrial Thrush- Songs of Music and Bird, and The White Diadem- Songs About Poets and Poetry. Smit's songs display great sensitivity to Dickinson's very personal world, and reflect the poet's emotional range by adopting an extremely colorful palette. The songs frequently veer from the simple and tonal to more rhythmically complex and chromatic settings, always alert to word and mood.
