I don't want another These Days, it has way too many slow songs. I want a rock album.
these days is a rock album. it has great rock songs and very good power ballads.

It is a rock type album, but I agree with Chris that it is too slow. As many have said before, a couple of songs like that are great on an album, but an entire album of it is overkill. But you already know how I feel about this subject.

No wonder it didn't do well in america.

The only reason it didn't do well is the fact that is just didn't fit in with what was popular at the time. BJ were HUGE with Slippery and Jersey. Actually, I am not even sure it did all that bad. Just not as well as the previous two, which were monster hits.

Much as I love TD, it would be too boring to have a new TD. I think what's exciting about TD is its novelty. The guys hadn't done anything like that before and it was a nice surprise.

At any rate, I just want them to write the songs they really feel like writing. Great if I like them. Too bad if I don't. But let it be something genuine and from the heart

too right mate, but something from all of their hearts, not just jons! I'd like to see a real BAND album with all of them playing and even writing

These days u can really feel inside and its like they meant every word they singing. I'm afraid it is not the case with Bounce or other albums, i hope they come up with album where they give everything.

But we did get real BAND records. I don't really see such cheesy songs as AALY and You had me from hello on a Jon's solo album. And I'm sure I never will. That's a band's work.

No that stuff is the leftovers from Jons solo work, it's not the same
