Keep the Faith is the fifth studio album by
American rock band Bon Jovi. Released on November 3, 1992 through
Mercury Records. It was also Bon Jovi's first album since 1985's
7800° Fahrenheit not to be produced by Bruce Fairbairn. The album was produced by
Bob Rock and was recorded at the
Little Mountain Sound Studios in
Vancouver,
Canada.
Keep the Faith represents the beginning of a new chapter in the history of Bon Jovi, marking a change of both the band's image and sound. Moving away from their early
glam metal roots in previous albums, it introduced a more "rock n roll" driven groove to Bon Jovi's sound. The album turned away from heavy drums and wild guitar solos, but instead introduced a new sound of Bon Jovi which consisted of piano ballads and long epic guitar solos. It is the last to feature original bassist
Alec John Such, before his dismissal from the band in 1994.
