i was very angry when i heard crush- they had a 5 years break, wrote 60 songs, worked quite a long time- that made me overrate the album in previous! i loved 2 story town when they performed it at the webcast but it's extremely weak on the record- crush doesn't work as a whole in my oppinion- but it's a matter of taste!
some of the songs are great but they are weakly arranged (two story town- the drumcomp making horse sounds, the keyboard sounds on thank you for loving me, the sounds of the drums and the guitar on save the world which i actually consider one of bj's best ballads- but i don't like the sounds)
i haven't heard the "sounds" of bounce because of the rather bad quality of the mp3's but i think they've improved a lot esp. because of richie's new one!!!
so i'm looking damn forward to the day i get my copy!
