What About Now es el decimosegundo álbum de estudio de Bon Jovi. Producido por John Shanks, el álbum fue editado el 8 de marzo de 2013.
En una entrevista concedida a la revista Classic Rock, el guitarrista Richie Sambora declaró que el álbum fue grabado antes de que su álbum en solitario, Aftermath of the Lowdown, se completara. Él y Jon comenzaron a escribir las canciones y, antes de darse cuenta, ya estaban en el estudio con la banda. "El disco está terminado y tiene un sonido excepcional. Comenzaremos nuestra gira en febrero de 2013, por lo que vamos a estar en los escenarios muy pronto."1
Richie Sambora también caracteriza el nuevo material como una compilación de "elementos distintos", pero aseguró a los viejos fans que van a quedar igual de satisfechos con el nuevo trabajo.


What About Now is the twelfth studio album by rock band Bon Jovi. Produced by John Shanks, the album was released on March 8, 2013 in Australia and March 12, 2013 in the United States.[4] The album will be promoted through-out the band's 2013–2014 Because We Can: The Tour.[5] The album debuted at #1 in the U.S. , where it sold 101,000 copies in its first week debuting at #1 on the Billboard 200. What About Now became their third album in a row to hit #1 in US after The Circle & Lost Highway and their fifth #1 album during their career.

Recording and production

In an interview given to Classic Rock magazine, guitarist Richie Sambora stated that the album was recorded before his solo album Aftermath of the Lowdown was completed. He and Jon started to write and before they knew it, they were in the studio with the band. "The record is now finished and sounding great, and we start our 2013 tour in February, so we'll be at a stadium near you very soon."
Richie Sambora also characterized the new material as a compilation of “different elements”; yet reassured old fans that they will be just as pleased with the new work as they have been with the old for over 30 years.

Recepction

The album received mixed or average reviews[16]. While Caroline Sullivan from The Guardian states that "the band have reached out with the sort of empowering platitudes and riffage that will give fans on this summer's stadium tour something to punch the air about", Stephen Unwin from the Daily Express was less favorable, claiming that the album "is the closest thing to predictable from the poster boys of American rock ’n’ roll, which for their most myopic fans is the closest thing to wonderful."
Phil Mongrendien, from the Toronto Star, criticized the track "Army of One" for finding them "descending into lyrical self-parody with its 'never give up' motif hammered home artlessly" while the title track's guitar "hook nods too much to Kraftwerk's 'Computer Love' (and, by extension, Coldplay's 'Talk')". James Manning, from Time Out, believes that the band "won't win any new fans with their twelfth album [...] but they're unlikely to lose many either."
Kim Carr and James Cabooter were positive, stating that "Bon Jovi are back to their rock roots on their best album for 20 years."
Ian Gittins, from Virgin Media, thought "the band's perennial propensity for clichés and Hollywood blockbuster-style happy endings invariably make it difficult to take Bon Jovi as seriously as they crave", though he later admits that "there are some good tunes. It's a decent soft rock party album. It's probably also about time that Bon Jovi knew their limits."[14] For Stephen Erlewine, from Allmusic, "there aren't so many big hooks on What About Now -- just the raise-your-fist anthem of 'Because We Can,' with most of the sweetest melodies coming from the softer, quieter moments, such as the acoustic 'The Fighter'.
