Default Bounce or Crush?
After reading the topic about the worst ever BJ record I was surprised to see that Bounce was voted the worst. I'd just like to ask why people think it's worse than crush. In my opinion, Bounce has good guitar riffs, better lyrics and rocks. O.K, so it's not their best effort but I feel Crush has nothing. What has crush got that makes it better than bounce?

I prefer Bounce
Crush is an alright album, but it doesn't 'rock' enough (IMO)

i can't decide. bounce has some very good rock songs whereas crush doesn't. but crush as an overall is better because it doesn't have so many crappy ballads as bounce. i don't know.
i think bounce is a bit better for my standards. confusing, right? :P

Bounce. Some bloody good hard rock songs on there. Lacking a little in sheer energy, but hammers the point home well enough. Crush is a nice enough album, some fairly decent songs, and nice little guitar licks all over it, but its a bit all the over the place too, trying to be too many things at once I feel

Keep On Rockin'

Can't decide. Like both. Bounce, I do agree has some great harder sounding songs. Crush has some good softer rock songs ie. Just older. Although, One wild night is a nice harder rock song. Definitly one of the top five my friends and I play when we go partying.

Crush is better than Bounce IMO. Not because it's good, but because Bounce is terrible. It's forced, lyrics are bad, guitar work very limited, songs get boring very quickly, ballads suck, rock songs don't really rock, etc... Big riffs don't hide the emptiness.
