First of all, hats off to Bon Jovi for trying something different with This Left Feels Right--a selective collection of their most popular songs with a twist. That twist isn't a purely acoustic reworking, MTV unplugged style--anybody looking for that experience will be sorely disappointed by what's on offer. What Bon Jovi have done is re-record these songs in a completely different way while maintaining the original lyrics, melody and song structure. What's different then? Well, quite a bit actually. Check out the almost trip-hop beat and distorted vocal of "Wanted Dead or Alive", or the lazy soul of "Livin' on a Prayer". "It's My Life" is a beautiful piano-only standout, almost worth having the whole album for. The tracklisting isn't perfect, concentrating largely on their 1980s period (there's nothing from These Days, for instance). As such, the venture works as an effective cheese-extraction exercise, keeping the elements that made the originals so great, but removing shouty, hairspray-fuelled "whoa-yeahs". What we get is something that is closer to Jon Bon Jovi's last solo offering--the criminally underrated Destination Anyway. It doesn't always work ("Bed of Roses" just sounds like a warbling cover of the powerful original and by the time they reach "Always" it's obvious they've run out of new twists), and no doubt there will be legions of bemulleted faithfuls who will denounce this as blasphemy of the highest order. Sure, it's probably just record-company filler, but it's a worthwhile investment and you won't be embarrassed to have it on when your mates come round. --Cortman Virtue

 Disappointing September 23, 2008
Sonya (MA)
I missed the part of the title that said Greatest hits "with a twist". Was expecting just the songs I know and love. The words are the same but the music different, slower. Not a fan at all :-(.
BEYOND BAD August 31, 2008
S. Cardin (Louisville, TN)
I bought this piece of crap from Best Buy. It said simply "greatest hits with a twist" and had a lot of songs I have heard from Bon Jovi so I stupidly bought it. I had no idea what the "twist" was--it was not explained on the package. I think this is the worst music I've ever heard and I love(d) Bon Jovi. I tried to take it back to Best Buy and they wouldn't take it back so I'm out about $20 for something I would not pay 20 cents for. There is nothing redeeming about it-it doesnt' get any better. I learned that I will only buy music where I can hear it first.
 Feels very right May 2, 2008

I dont get how people cant like this album. The old songs reworked sound like they were made for it. Terrific
 A little disappointed April 21, 2008
Gabrielle Janik (Sydney, Australia)
I am a huge bon jovi fan, but was a little let down by this CD. I like their music as hard rock etc.....not accoustic style. I didn't even recognise many of the songs.
This is an album for the broken hearted! January 12, 2008

Like others, I felt like crying after listening to this. There's a reason the original songs were such hits. The twist means that the songs are slow and depressing. I was totally disappointed.
