Editorial Review:
Bon Jovi is back with another tremendous rock album "The Circle" which was produced by John Shanks, who also worked with Bon Jovi on Have A Nice Day and Lost Highway. The first single "We Weren't Born To Follow" is the fastest growing single in the band's HISTORY, and the fastest growing ever on the Hot AC chart. Also included is the groundbreaking band documentary When We Were Beautiful. Filmed while the band was on its unprecedented Lost Highway world tour, this is the first intimate look at this legendary group. Unlike the usual band documentary, When We Were Beautiful reveals the inner workings and unique personalities that have made Bon Jovi one of the most successful rock groups of all time.
The Circle / When We Were Beautiful (CD + DVD) Reviews:
Average at best..... 
2009-12-24 - Go and listen to Richie Sambora's solo albums and tell me if any of his influence is on this album at all. This is such a boring album with little risk taking or creativity. Every song here sounds like something that's already been done by someone else and the U2 influence is too much for me. Listen before you buy because I doubt you will be impressed with anything here.
What can I say..... 
2009-12-23 - Bon Jovi always puts out good music. I'm more a fan of the old days, but I still listen to them and attend their shows.
The newer cd's I get for the wife who is a life long Jovi Girl, but I listen when she plays them. Then I take out the classics from them......all in all, good album. If you're a Bon Jovi fan, you can't go by without adding to the collection.
See you in April in ft. Lauderdale!!!!
The End 
2009-12-23 - I've been a huge Bon Jovi fan since '86 and have defended their albums over the years, but it ends here. The Circle is terrible. It's a confused mix of pedestrian ballads and pseudo country rock songs. The band has become too self-indulgent. I simply cannot listen to this. They really should consider recording and touring under a new band name because this is simply no longer Bon Jovi.
Poorly recorded 
2009-12-21 - This is the worst sounding CD I have heard in a while. I don't know if I got a bad CD or it was recorded this way. Thank goodness for the older ones!!!
sensored 
2009-12-21 - the dvd is sensored. it really made me mad. it doesnt say that ANYWHERE! if i had known, i would have purchased the cd only. they bleep every little word and the whole dvd is nothing but bleeps. i watched about 5 mins and just turned it off!!!
CD is awesome!!! DVD sux!
