Like with Have A Nice Day, Jon offered the record company a collection of songs to show what they were writing and recording. The record company rejected the songs, deeming them too heavy, and Jon was send out to write more poppier/accessable songs. I've a feeling the 7 demo's offered on the various singles were songs meant to be on the album, as they're very, very finished and not demo's at all.

If I remember correctly both Another Reason To Believe, We Can't Dance and No Regrets were meant to be on Bounce. It'd also explain why Bounce is such a schizophrenic record with a little bit of everything, yet never really falling together; too many different writing sessions with too many different approaches.

Salaam Aleikum,
