bounce is a better album then x.

x has no rock songs just some "sing along nick carter rock wannabies" which sucks!
some of the tracks on x are just embarising to hear such as gravity, why do they do songs like this?
as someone sad before the ballads on x are better then the ballads on bounce. Long long way to go is a classic def leppard ballad (its sounds very similar to their older ballads) which is good, it could be a hit.
"torn to shreds" is a good song,
"now" as well but it still sounds like a rock version of blues latest album! the only time i listen to this album is when I'm studing, because their is no, absolutly now risk that I will starting listening to what they are singing or playing (just because of that I listen to it quite often...).

Bounce has no ballads but very good rocksongs such as undivied and hook me up...
bounce feels like a more tight album, and it doesn't feel like it is only produced to be played on the radio (the singels).

bounce and x are both good examples if you want to illustrate how bad things can get if you use swedish pop producer!

I have to confess, I listen to x more often then i listen to bounce, that could be one of the reasons why I'm bored with it. x is a good study album, but nothing more, bounce is just another album in my cd collection...
