Bounce Review

Personally I would highly recommend this album if you are any kind of Bon Jovi fan at all. I was trying to wait til Oct. 8th but I couldn't so I went ahead and preordered it off Amazon.

UNDIVIDED starts off the record and it simply rocks and has great feeling and lyrics to go along with it. IMO it is on of the best songs on the album.

EVERYDAY is a good song but after hearing the other ones this would not have been my choice as a first single. If you like this song you "should" like this record because I would have had this about 7th on my list.

THE DISTANCE- I may be a little biased since this record just came out but this is the best song on the album and one of their top 5 of all time. Once again I may be a little biased. Great rocker and I freakin love the chorus.

HEY JOEY is a great storytelling song. Slower paced than previous songs on the list but nonetheless a classic.

MISUNDERSTOOD is not one of my favorites on the record. It is not a bad song, I just can't really seem to get into it. It is a midtempo song but IMO I would have had ARTB or We can dance on here instead.

ALL ABOUT LOVIN YOU is the first ballad on the record. It is a good ballad but not quite on the level of ALWAYS or BED OF ROSES. I'm not sure if I like this ballad more or OPEN ALL NIGHT.

HOOK ME UP is kind of a disappointment. There are not a whole lot of lyrics. It was supposedly "the heaviest song Bon Jovi has ever done". It starts off like it but slacks off. However, I do think that the ending of the song is clever. This is my least favorite but that is probably because I had such high expectations for this song.

RIGHT SIDE OF WRONG is another one of my favorites. Slower paced storytelling song. It is a very touching and sad song with a nice solo contributed by Richie.

LOVE ME BACK TO LIFE is my 2nd favorite song on the record. It is midtempo song but it does rock pretty good in certain spots. It has a very catchy chorus that is almost impossible not to sing along to. :P

YOU HAD ME FROM HELLO is another ballad and not a bad song but not a very good one either IMO. Like OPEN ALL NIGHT it is extremely slow. I know it is a ballad but it is slow like SHE'S A MYSTERY but nowhere near as bad.

BOUNCE is a great rocking song like UNDIVIDED and EVERYDAY. One of my top 5 on the record easily. I'm not really complaining but I wish it was just a little longer.

OPEN ALL NIGHT is a sweet love song. Really slow but really good

I think this is Bon Jovi's third best record behind These Days and Keep the Faith. It's hard to say if it is better than New Jersey because it(New Jersey) is such a great album but so are all their other albums so one of the records had to get knocked down.
