CD Description
From the first mega-chorus shout of the album-opening "In and Out of Love", it's obvious that 7800 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT marks an evolution from Bon Jovi's debut. The image got bigger and so did the sound. The album went gold, and a year later the band shot to the stratosphere with SLIPPERY WHEN WET.
"The Price of Love" is a tight, well-written rocker categorised by its memorable Bon Jovi hook. "Only Lonely" is perfect pop metal with a great riff and even catchier solo. "Silent Night" is a true power ballad, before the term denoted the mandatory first single from every hair band. "Tokyo Road", the band's homage to far-Eastern pleasures, is a consistent live favourite. "The Hardest Part Is the Night" is a mid-tempo rocker that features a creative solo from Richie Sambora. Tico Torres lets loose on the skins on the blistering andgritty "Always Run to You". A mid-'80s crunchy metal riff combines with a polished keyboard-crafted instrumental frame of "Secret Dreams". Bon Jovi took melody and heavy rock to the next level on this thoroughly mature effort.

Customer Reviews

Hideously overlooked
Ask any critic, they'll tell you that 7800 Fahrenheit is Bon Jovi failing to find their feet, a stutter in their career after the promise of the debut and before the success of Slippery When Wet. But ask any fan, and they'll either say it's a vital step in the career of the group, or as some would say, it's amongst their best work.
I'm of the latter view. The production may be shabby, and this in my opinion is why so many critics fault this collection. But how anyone can deny the quality of tracks like Only Lonely, In & Out Of Love and Always Run To You is beyond me. The band is tight, the emotion intense and the melodies strong. Richie Sambora displays the sort of fluent guitar work that would become a trademark of the band's sound, and the other band members display a confidence that suggests they knew the world was theirs for the talking. It took until the following year, and the Desmond Child-assisted hits Livin' On A Prayer and You Give Love A Bad Name, before Jovi would achieve worldwide superstar status. But this excellent and highly underrated album should not be overlooked by anyone with even a slight interest in the work of the group.

Hot Rock!
Bon Jovi round two - and an album that is usually overlooked by many, despite it being a quality product.

This CD showed a mature sound from the band, after their debut's pop-like feel. It is probably the bands most heavy rock album, and full of songs that have a strong guitar base to them.

The album is not quite as uplifting as their later stuff, which may put people off, but the songs are a vast improvement on their debut album.

Tokyo Road, for me, is the standout. Jon's lyrics are superb here, much improved from last time, stronger, more resilient and a bit lower in tone.

King of the Mountain is a guilty pleasure - not particularly brilliant, but an enjoyable, indulgent song. Silent Night is also a strong track, that has a creepy opening sound, but will totally rock your socks off.

This Bon Jovi album is the exception to the rest of their career. The heavy rock sound making it not only sound completely different to later albums, but almost being a one off. Don't expect the love ballads, or fast-paced stadium sound. This is a band showing they can do quality material, and therefore it deserves to be heard.

Great Album
I wouldn't say Bon Jovi at their best, the albums since just get better & better ! But.... In & Out Of LOve is just one of my alltime Fav Tracks ! If you have all the others, then your collection is not complete untill you have this !
