#HAVE A NICE DAY BON JOVI ALBUM SERIES#
Not only that, but this 2005 album finds Jon Bon Jovi picking up on the serious undercurrent of Bounce, writing a series of angry, somber neo-protest songs that form the heart of this record." Blogcritics gave the album 8 stars out of 10 stating that "while their glory days are behind them, there's still a lot left in the tank for Bon Jovi when they want to be a band. Stephen Thomas Erlewine gave Have a Nice Day 2.5 stars out of 5, saying that the album "picks up where 2002's Bounce left off, showcasing a harder, heavier band than either 2000's Crush or Jon Bon Jovi's 1997 solo effort, Destination Anywhere. On September 2, 2005, it was announced that a full-length version of the song "Last Man Standing" was available for listening in the discography section on the band's official website. The first single, the title track "Have a Nice Day", premiered on radio stations worldwide on July 18, 2005. The album's track list, release dates for United States and Canada, and radio release date for the first single were announced on July 14, 2005. It's heartbreaking." Release and promotion all for the sake of a 99-cent download so they can sell bulk and make their bonuses. He says it reflects his "disgust of the music business in general, and its lack of true vision when it comes to supporting the artistry of developing a song, the songwriter and the bands on the road."" He explained: "Instead of creating what Andy Warhol once called '15 minutes of fame,' I think it's down to just three minutes and 30 seconds." "I don't know how this industry is ever going to have another Bob Dylan when it's all about the single, the album and the vision and that inspiration.
He said: "I've always kept this 'chin up, glass is half-full' kind of optimism, and I showed some chinks in the armor." "The song "Last Man Standing" depicts the band leader's unhappiness with the music industry. The lyrical themes center around political changes that happened in United States in that period and the state of music business, but also reflect personal and introspective views on issues that Jon Bon Jovi had while growing up, which he had never discussed before. When the band regrouped in 2005, they recorded four more songs and also worked on the revised versions of the original songs.
In December 2004, he went to Sanctuary Sound Studio to write more songs. Jon planned to turn the album over to record company right before Christmas of 2004., but he changed his mind. In the meantime, the band was doing finishing touches on their boxset 100,000,000 Bon Jovi Fans Can't Be Wrong (2004). Later in the recording sessions, David Bryan, Tico Torres and Hugh McDonald recorded their parts. Sambora and Shanks played all the guitar parts, Jon recorded all the vocals and there were no bass player or drummer in the studio. After Jon and Richie co-wrote all the songs with Shanks, they recorded them immediately using a drum machine. They started to write songs and songs came very quick. Jon Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora headed into the studio with producer and songwriter John Shanks in summer of 2004 to begin working on a band's ninth studio album. It was commonly commented that Jon Bon Jovi was "stretching" his lyrical abilities. Have a Nice Day has received mixed reviews by music critics. The album produced the hit singles " Have a Nice Day" and " Who Says You Can't Go Home". The album was eventually certified platinum by the RIAA. In the US, it sold over 202,000 copies in the first week, making it Bon Jovi's best first-week sales in the band's history at that time. Have a Nice Day peaked at number two in both the US and UK. The band wanted to write and record more songs, remove others from the original track list, and in the process, altered existing album tracks. However, due to misunderstandings between the band and its record company, the album was delayed. Have a Nice Day was originally recorded in the summer of 2004 and planned for release in early 2005. Produced by John Shanks, the album was recorded at Sanctuary Sound II in New Jersey, and Ocean Way Recording in Hollywood, California. Have a Nice Day is the ninth studio album by American rock band Bon Jovi, released on September 20, 2005.
