IMO the album sucks. At least songs like Captain Crash and I Love This Town are liked by a large part of Jovi fanbase (I'm being one of them) and they represent the optimistic, upbeat and anthemic Bon Jovi style much better than those crappy "hard rock" songs like Bounce, Everyday, Hook Me Up. They sucked live back in the day and I believe they'd suck even more now. It makes sense that if you play songs that you know don't work very well live, at least play new songs. Only oldies that work live should still be played in 2010. Don't get me wrong, just like any other Bon Jovi album, Bounce also has some good songs, but the only one I miss in setlists is Misunderstood.
