Dunno if that's fair. I think a lot of the disappointing reviews stem from the fact that we all know BJ can write better songs than a lot of those on the Bounce album. Personally I found Bounce a bit disappointing as I've been a huge Bon Jovi fan for about ten years and this is their first release in two years, so I was hugely excited, but for the most part it's pretty average, which is the same feeling I had with Crush.

I really, really wanted to like it, Jon is a great songwriter, Richie is an amazing guitarist and both Tico and Dave both bring a lot of talent to the band, but apart from one or two songs on the album, it didn't seem to have that BJ spark.

Oh well, what do I know?!
