Slippery When Wet transformed Bon Jovi from minor-league poodle rockers to global superstars on the back of hit singles "You Give Love a Bad Name," "Never Say Goodbye," and, of course, "Living on a Prayer." From the scantily clad car-wash girls on the inner sleeve to the "You lost more than that in my back seat / Yeah!" lyrics, the album is blissfully untouched by irony and subtlety, which actually adds to its charm. With guitarist Richie Sambora and songwriter Desmond Child, Jon Bon Jovi has produced a slew of consistently memorable tunes, and this album contains its fair share of them. Slippery When Wet won't change your world, but it will, undoubtedly, rock it. --Ronita Dutta

 Ehhh not that good at all October 5, 2008
pinkfloyd (annoymus countries)
Slippery When Wet some think its the greatest album of all time but personally i think its just one of those albums you can just pass on as nothing. Whats so special about, "Let It Rock", oooh so they used synth and guitar and just played one note and than bon jovi's singing comes in who cares. The reason i give it two stars is because its okay i guess i mean livin on a prayer and wanted dead or alive is okay but besides that its too glammy. not great not good
 Great Rockin' Album! September 2, 2008
80's Rocker
This is a a great album containing some of their biggest, most well known hits that are still being played on the radio today. If you're not really a big Bon Jovi fan and are not interested in acquiring their individual albums, or even their greatest hits compilations, but would like some of their best songs in your collection then this is the one to get! (the price is a steal nowadays!) Some albums have only one ot two great songs, this has several: "Livin' on a Prayer", "You Give Love a Bad Name", "Wanted Dead or Alive", "Raise Your Hands", "Without Love"...good value!
A True, Timeless Classic! April 17, 2008
Brian D. Bailey (jasper, al)
The mid to late 80's, 1986-87 in particular, was a great time for music. This album came along at just the right time for me, age 11-12, just when I was really starting to get ''into'' music. I love almost all of the music from this time period, and this album is no exception. A friend of mine had the cassette, and when I would go over to visit we would listen to the tape from start to finish. At the same time, take the liner notes and work on memorizing all the lyrics. I now have the newly remastered CD, and when I pop this in the player, I still listen from start to finish. The new remaster is great, this album sounds better than ever. This is pop-metal at it's finest. From start to finish, all songs are great. To listen, brings back great memories, and is still great today, in my book. 'Wanted Dead Or Alive', 'You Give Love A Bad Name', 'Livin On A Prayer', Never Say Goodbye', many great classics are here. For me, there's nothing else I can add, just let the music do the rest of the talking. Buy it, listen, and rock on!

 The Bad Side of 1980s Musical Output January 26, 2008

The 1980s were certainly a very eclectic time for output in popular music. Especially for those of us who came of age during that decade. On the positive side, we had timeless albums such as The Joshua Tree, Moving Pictures, Master of Puppets and Remain in Light, among others.
Bon Jovi's Slippery When Wet represents the bad side of the 80s - generic songs; a soulless processed drum sound; and over-produced "anthems." Bon Jovi, Motley Crue, Poison, all members of a shallow, talentless club.
