I curse Luke Ebbin for bad production of both Crush and Bounce. The sound on Crush is sometimes very weird, like the solos on Next 100 Years.
I think Luke is the man to blame!

To answer your question:
Hey God could have been a great comeback single i think, if it hadn't been realeased on TD. Great Song. KTF (the song), that was something new and unexpected. It's My Life was pure Jovi. Just Older should also have been a single.

Crush and Bounce were not there best but they did get better with HAND imo. They're bound to have some "flops" with such a lengthy career. I'm just hoping it only gets better.

I think most people would agree that Bon Jovi's most grown up albums are KTF and TD so what possessed them to go writing crap like STW, Open All Night, TYFLM, AALY, Complicated?

And I was thinking of a quote from some DJ on the Jon Bon Jovi biography from the Biography Channel. He basically said that nobody thought BJ could be a commercial force after a five year break and within the industry they were thought of as dead.

So do people thing that Bon Jovi's only way of survival in 2000 was writing a song like It's My Life (and the rest of Crush) and abandoning the growth demonstrated on SITT, KTF, TD, DA? Could Bon Jovi have released a "Midnight in Chelsea" (tremendous song I must say), "Hey God" or "Lie to Me" as their comeback single and had a future in the industry?

Was it Jon's (and I say Jon because he's stated it in public) desire to be popular or was it the only way the band thought they could stay in the game?
Yes I can totally relate to what you said! Top-post
