Have A Nice Day is probably the album with the most gritty attitude. The band were angry with the US government and they borrowed from the nu punk music scene at the time. It was probably the heaviest they've ever gone. I certainly like it and the three bonus tracks were great! Dirty Little Secret - what a song! They should go back to doing heavier rock again instead of pop. The title track is awsome. I'm not so sure their other choices of singles were right though.

I don't mind Lost Highway or even The Circle. All of their albums are way above the awful What About Now album. The production on up to and including HAND was good. It's the last album where Jon's actually doesn't sound like his vocals have been electronically pitched.

Oh wow.

Very good album, though. The last one they did I truly enjoyed. The Circle wasn't bad, but it was low on energy. This one wasn't.

To me the rock songs of Bounce were heavier than the ones on HAND.

I used to love that song back in 2005, I still like it. I think that most of Have A Nice Day sounds great live, don't know if they work or not with the crowd as I've only heard the tile track.

You've only heard the title track? I think you're forgetting one called... hmm what was the name? I think it was It's Alright.
