Bounce (the finished product) was overall just a miserable attempt at copying own or someone else's success. From the nu metal-like guitars to the Creed-influence to basically trying to copy the success of IML and TYFLM with their two ugly little brothers, it just went off the rails.
There's a reason why it was left out of the GH compilation and Richie being quoted saying: "Bounce wasn't much fun, but we shoved it down everyone's throats anyway..."
