The reason it's so over produced was because they had it recorded months in advance of the release date, so they touched everything up and over dubbed the hell out of it.

It was a half arsed post 9/11 album, Bruce Springsteen came out with 'The Rising' which dealt with the issue with beautiful, heartfelt, uplifting songs, along with other songs which had nothing to do with 9/11. But still felt true and sat well with the others.

Bounce started very well and then descended into a messy Elton John / Billy Joel snooze fest.
