Default A Bigger "Bounce".....................

On the topic of the Bounce elimination game, after years of living with the album, I think they could have done better.

The songs kept as B-Sides were great (even in demo form) and could have made the "Big Rock Record" that JBJ was sprouting on about at the time.

Sorry if this has been done before but I'd like to know if people would think if the album would have done better in sales if this was the lineup:

1 Undivided
2 Everyday
3 The Distance
4 Another Reason to Believe
5 Standing
6 Misunderstood
7 Breathe
8 Hook Me Up
9 No Regrets
10 Right Side of Wrong
11 Bounce
12 Postcards from the Wasteland

Would have been up there as a better album IMO.

Whadyathink?

Put Alive instead of Right Side of Wrong and Love Me Back to Life instead of Breathe and then Iīll agree with you.

Alive - the one song I haven't heard from the sessions.

Any good - and what...say does it sound similar to out of the BJ catalogue???

(Only way I could get to hear it was to buy imported AALY DVD single from Amazon at about $12 US!)

I think it's rubbish. It got a killer solo and a decent bridge but other then that it's crap. And Standing is really boring too. Not mad about No Regrets. Lucky is super weak. Breathe is ok. Another......Believe is musically good but the lyrics are pathetic. The only great B-Side is Postcards.

I've never understood why there's so much love for the Bounce B-sides.

Another Reason To Believe is pretty good, Postcards is GREAT. Alive is mediocre, Standing is very similiar to Lenny Kravitz' "Digging", but a good song.
