Bounce

I've listen to the album many times now, and I think the ballads are surprising better - but still I'd rather have some more rock-songs on it in stead of the ballads....

It seems that I'm in minority because I really liked Crush. For me Crush and New Jersey are the best BJ albums.
About Bounce:
+

experimental and conventional at the same time

finally someone re-discovered that orchestra fits not only slow ballads but also faster songs (The Distance, Love Me Back To Life)

great lyrics (especially Undivided and Open All Night - this last one honestly shows the process of falling in love)

-

the album is very short

Richie is in the background, there are very few of his fantastic guitar solos on this CD

the title track is 50 - 60% the same as It's my life

All in all: Bon Jovi have good and perfect albums. Bounce is a good one.
