Most likely, yes. It’s just I personally would never put those those two songs in the same category as “Dry County”, but then I was thinking musically and in terms of quality which is not the same thing. That plus those two songs from Bounce seem to the considered quite low on people’s lists.

I’d love to hear what he currently thinks about
Bounce as well, as you say (much like
These Days) it’s largely ignored. It was the
Bounce era that I first immersed myself into in terms of really following the bands career so back in 2002/3 I saw lots of interviews talking about the album when it was fresh but it’ll be nice to see what he has to say about it now.
Still immensely grateful he’s doing these little videos and he says they’re going to be weekly so it’ll be interesting to see what’s next.
Also, Jon describes
Keep the Faith as a fan favourite (which it is) but it’s certainly more than that. It’s up there with
Slippery When Wet and
New Jersey.
