I don't think there is any doubt in my mind that The right side of wrong has grown on me the most out of the ballads, but its still early days

You had me from hello is actually the weakest track on the album IMHO. Or actually I haven't heard Open all night, 'cause there's something wrong with my cd on track 12. I gave my vote to Joey. But I might change my mind after I've listened to the songs a little more.

I think the ballads on this album are probably the weakest the band have ever done.
The album really falls flat in the middle for me...but it's still better than "Crush".
Is it me or does "Love Me Back To Life" sound like a watered down version of "The Distance", which I think is the best track on the album by far. Plus, for what it's worth, the new stuff sounds MUCH better live.

I gave my vote to "open all night". I think it is a good track, but i also like "you had me from hello" very much. But i think the best ballad from Bounce era is "we can dance".

I'll vote once I have listened! I feel like I am the only one who has waited the long long time for the proper release!

Right Side Of Wrong is the best ballad so far, IMHO. That chorus and that guitar are great

Is it not you, I agree with you 100 %. I've been trying to tell that to everyone, that these two tracks are so similar but nobody seems to agree or I'm just ignored My boyfriend (not a fan) even asked that are these two really two different tracks when I played them to him.

They have a similar sound, cauz they're
both kinda overproduced and have a
lot of strings and stuff, but besides that
I think they're really different.

LMBTL builds up to a cool ending with
Jon shouting and the guitar/talkbox
part is kewl as well. I think it's better
than The Distance actually.
