56. Bon Jovi's Keep The Faith (1992) - Is it too long?

‘Keep The Faith’ is arguably Bon Jovi’s most important album. Released in 1992, as alternative rock started to rule the airwaves, the band needed to redefine their sound for a new decade (& get some haircuts!). And with sales of nearly 9M, their ‘faith’ was rewarded.  As original CD buyers of the album on release, podcast hosts Stephen & Paul Nicholson take a trip back in time to revisit the album on its 30th anniversary. Was it too long? Did it suffer a second half dip? What are the best songs on it? Why was the excellent ‘Save a Prayer’ only a bonus track? Which tracks would make an under 50-minute, single vinyl version of the album? All this and more are discussed in the episode.  Like what you hear?
