It is Bon Jovi's last studio album to feature all five original band members as bass guitarist [[Alec John Such]] was dismissed from the band in 1994, though it was not his last release with the band. It is Bon Jovi's first album to not be produced by either Lance Quinn or [[Bruce Fairbairn]]. The album was produced by [[Bob Rock]] and was recorded at the [[Little Mountain Sound Studios]] in [[Vancouver]], [[British Columbia]]. ''Keep the Faith'' marked a change to a "more serious interpretation of the band's pop-metal groove".<ref name="allmusic">{{Citation|title=Keep the Faith - Bon Jovi {{!}} Songs, Reviews, Credits {{!}} AllMusic|url=https://www.allmusic.com/album/keep-the-faith-mw0000109855|language=en|access-date=2021-03-22}}</ref> It is also Bon Jovi's longest album to date, clocking in at 66 minutes. ''Keep the Faith'' peaked at number five on the US [[Billboard 200|''Billboard'' 200]] chart and was certified double-platinum by the [[Recording Industry Association of America]] (RIAA). The album produced several hits for the band, including "[[Keep the Faith (Bon Jovi song)|Keep the Faith]]", "[[Bed of Roses (Bon Jovi song)|Bed of Roses]]" and "[[In These Arms]]".<ref name=" Classic Rock and Metal Hammer 200 List">[http://pub37.bravenet.com/forum/3172289350/show/603249 Classic Rock and Metal Hammer 200 List]</ref> ==Background== Following the completion of the [[New Jersey Syndicate Tour|New Jersey tour]], the band went on hiatus. During their time off, [[Jon Bon Jovi]] wrote the soundtrack for ''[[Young Guns II]]'', which was released in 1990 as the ''[[Blaze of Glory (Jon Bon Jovi album)|Blaze of Glory]]'' album and [[Richie Sambora]] released his first solo album called ''[[Stranger in This Town]]''.<ref>{{Cite web| url = http://www.superiorpics.com/bon_jovi/| archive-url = https://archive.today/20130203095607/http://www.superiorpics.com/bon_jovi/| url-status = dead| archive-date = February 3, 2013| publisher = superiorpics.com| title = It's My Life| access-date = 14 May 2012}}</ref> By this time, Jon Bon Jovi fired his longtime manager, [[Doc McGhee]] and created Bon Jovi Management.<ref>{{Cite web | url = http://www.oocities.org/vienna/8128/history.htm| publisher = oocities.org |title= History | access-date = 14 May 2012 }}</ref> Jon Bon Jovi decided to take on a larger role, and more responsibilities within the band. In October 1991 the band went to the [[Caribbean island]] of [[Saint Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands|St. Thomas]] to discuss plans for the future; the band's internal problems were solved and they were ready to have a go at a comeback. ==Recording and production== In January 1992, the band headed to [[Little Mountain Sound Studios|Little Mountain Studios]] in [[Vancouver]], British Columbia. They spent seven months making the album with [[Bob Rock]] producing. Originally, the band had approached [[Bruce Fairbairn]], who produced ''[[Slippery When Wet]]'' and ''[[New Jersey (album)|New Jersey]]'', but he was working on [[Aerosmith]]'s ''[[Get a Grip]]'' at the time. Most of the recording was done in Vancouver, although a couple of tracks and overdubs were laid down in Los Angeles. "When we got back together in a room in Vancouver," noted Jon Bon Jovi in 2007, "we closed the door and ignored what had happened to our genre of music. We'd been kicked in the teeth by [[Nirvana (band)|Nirvana]], but we didn't pay attention to that. We got rid of the clichés, wrote some socially conscious lyrics and got a haircut. I didn't do a [[grunge]] thing and I didn't do a [[rap metal|rap]] thing. But I knew I couldn't re-write '[[Livin' on a Prayer]]' again, so I didn't try. And it paid off."<ref>{{cite magazine|first=Mark|last=Blake|author-link=Mark Blake (writer)|title=My brilliant career: Jon Bon Jovi|magazine=[[Q (magazine)|Q]] #253|date=August 2007|page=68}}</ref> Of the thirty songs written for the album, a couple were co-written by [[David Bryan]] and a couple by [[Desmond Child]]; the rest being by Jon Bon Jovi/Richie Sambora compositions and by Bon Jovi alone. Fourteen songs made it to the final album. Jon Bon Jovi wrote half of the album's songs alone. Before the band reunited in the studio, Bon Jovi spent the summer of 1991 in anonymity, riding his motorbike in places like [[Arizona]], gaining experiences that inspired him to write "[[Dry County (song)|Dry County]]" and "[[Bed of Roses (Bon Jovi song)|Bed of Roses]]". He later commented "It would never have been possible [for me] to write songs like 'Bed of Roses' or 'Dry County' five years ago." ==Release and reception== {{Album reviews | rev1 = [[AllMusic]] | rev1score = {{Rating|3|5}}<ref>[{{AllMusic|class=album|id=r59097|pure_url=yes}} AllMusic Review]</ref> | rev2 = ''[[Entertainment Weekly]]'' | rev2score = D<ref>{{cite magazine |title=Keep the Faith |magazine=[[Entertainment Weekly]] |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221213045542/https://ew.com/article/1992/11/13/keep-faith-2/ |archive-date=2022-12-13 |url-status=live |url=https://ew.com/article/1992/11/13/keep-faith-2/}}</ref> | rev3 = ''[[The Rolling Stone Album Guide]]'' | rev3score = {{Rating|2.5|5}}<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20110628221528/http://www.rollingstone.com/music/artists/bon-jovi/albumguide Rolling Stone Album Guide]</ref> }}<!--List Automatically Moved by DASHBot--> ''Keep the Faith'' was released on November 3, 1992. To promote the album, Bon Jovi returned to their roots playing a few dates at the small New Jersey clubs where they had started their career. The band appeared on ''[[MTV Unplugged]]'', a different show from the other episodes of the MTV Unplugged series, capturing Bon Jovi in an intimate, "in the round" experience, performing acoustic and electric renditions of classic hits (Bon Jovi and non-Bon Jovi tracks) and new material from ''Keep the Faith''. The concert was released commercially in 1993 as ''[[Keep the Faith: An Evening with Bon Jovi]]''. The album was released on high-definition [[Super Audio CD|SACD]] in August 2017. ==Commercial performance== In the US, ''Keep the Faith'' debuted at number five on the [[Billboard 200|''Billboard'' 200]] Top Albums in November 1992<ref>{{cite web|url = {{AllMusic|class=artist|id=p3734/charts-awards/billboard-albums|pure_url=yes}}|title = Allmusic (Bon Jovi charts & awards) Billboard albums}}</ref> while peaking at number one in the UK and Australia.

''Keep the Faith'' is the third most-represented album in Bon Jovi's concert setlists behind ''Slippery When Wet'' and ''New Jersey''.
