Don't forget about Next 100 Years!! Nothing from Bounce comes close to that song. Both of these are my least favorite albums by them btw.

I prefer Boune cause itīs more a rock album. Cruhsh has some real good songs but there are just too many drumcomputers, loops or whatever it is called, instead of loud guitars and real drumms

i think 'bounce' i a really amazing record.but i think 'crush' has got a lot of vomputer works in there,like 'say it isn't so' and 'i've got a girl',the live version is much better.also 'bounce' shows that bon jovi has'grown up'.

Keep On Rockin'
Noooooooo you can't put Neurotica in the same league as those songs

For me Crush is a very diverse album. Songs are very different from each others, but none is a real hard rock style - the heaviest the album can offer is an amazing guitar solo in the end of the Next 100 years. Also I think this one has a "happy" sound - - all tracks have a rythum that carries the album with joy. As to bounce is much more like polarized album, since it has hard rocking tracks like undivided, bounce or hook me up and slow ballads like open all night, joey or all about loving you. Mid-tempos are also here, but the key traks for me are in these 2 styles. Note that Bounce has also a new feature in the BJ composing evolution: the traks are shorter. I remember listening to Jon while he said that it was very hard for them to capture eotions on a 5 minute song. Well in this album they 've captured those emotions in 3:30 minute tracks, being Bounce the shortest record since SWW or NJ - that were recorded back in the vynil days, where albums 'd have 45 minutes at most. Just a fact, but it may say something about future compositions by the jovi family.

Crush was a great album, it was contempory and fresh it had meaning in the songs and nice melodies; its a shame there wasnt more of that on bounce which is a heavy rock album which is not very listenable and so similar to the "mosh pit" music out there. (which is a bad thing because Bon Jovi's fans range from eight year olds to middle aged people because of their upbeat working class lyrics and tunes, a blonde guy who spends most of his time with an acoustic guitar or being rock's and hollywoods prettiest star is hardly going to appeal to the fans of slipknot who are more like AC/DC's fans; ugly, sweaty heavy set men)
