Bon Jovi - The Circle : the eleventh studio album
The Circle
The Circle is the title of the eleventh studio album by rock band Bon Jovi. Produced by John Shanks, the album was released November 10, 2009, with the new single "We Weren't Born to Follow" premiering on radio August 17(USA). The album was released in Germany on October 30, 2009. The album debuted at number 1 in several countries, including the U.S. Billboard 200. This gives them their fourth number 1 album after their 2007 effort, Lost Highway. The album sold 163 000 copies in its first week in the United States.
In an interview given to Rolling Stone Magazine, guitarist Richie Sambora says the album is a return to "rock and roll" and said "Theres going to be some big choruses on there. It sounds like Bon Jovi, but it sounds fresh. We experimented with a lot of new sounds and had a really good time working with John Shanks, who is also a really good guitar player, so he and I did a lot of weaseling with the guitar sounds. There are a lot of really good guitar sounds and new kind atmospheres on the new Bon Jovi record, that I think makes it really modern. I think people are going to dig it, man. And it rocks hard."

Bon Jovi The Circle Review
Album Released 2 November 2009.
Dependable drive-time rock delivered with an admirable straight face.
Tom Hocknell 2009-11-05
New Jersey rockers Bon Jovi return with their eleventh album and are reunited with Lost Highway producer John Shanks, fresh from recent stints working with Take That and Alesha Dixon.
Bon Jovi fans, and theres plenty of them, who have not been put off by recent output will find plenty to love here. The band long ago developed into a slick, stadium-filling act, and although this album marks a slight return to their more traditional rock roots after the Nashville-influenced Lost Highway, not much has changed. Like a hairier and less-subtle version of Bruce Springsteen, they like to give voice to the blue-collar worker and refuse to progress stylistically beyond a form that's served them so well already.
Long-standing bands often believe their own hype; indeed, they are often the last ones left believing it, and someones clearly exploded a lyrical cliché bomb in the studio here. Theyve even titled a song Live Before You Die, which is wrong on too many levels to even begin listing here. There is no denying their skill with a tune, but there is the lingering sense that were Flight of the Conchords to do a heavy metal pastiche of, say, millionaires sticking it to the man, it would sound exactly like Work for the Working Man. It is commendable that Jon Bon Jovi can keep a straight face while writing lines such as working man, empty pockets full of worry / had to get two jobs, presumably referring to a rock stars need for an acting career on the side.
That said, other than the band, few listen to Bon Jovi with a straight face, and stupid grins are to be found. The atmospheric Broken Promiseland could be lifted from Slippery When Wet, while swelling keyboards herald moments of genuine emotion, such as on Fast Cars. Loves the Only Rule also utilises synthesized strings to great effect, and perhaps illustrates where referees are going wrong around the country.
The Circle is not going to surprise anyone, but maybe in such turbulent times this is exactly what people need: dependable drive-time rock dripping with references to getting up from your knees and not giving up.
