I was really happy with the album when it came out, but the test is in the listening, and I've hardly listened to it since. HAND tracks I listen to quite frequently and same with Crush. Bounce very rarely though.

My opinion hasn't changed much, though it has solidified. When the album first came out, I was quite happy with it because I had been expecting something SO much worse. My opinion of the album has tempered a bit, but I still rank it is the second best Post-2000 album (after Crush), even though HAND probably had some better individual songs.
The first six tracks are very good, and provide the albums main three highlights and IMO best songs: (You Want To) Make A Memory, Whole Lot Of Leavin, and Any Other Day. LH, Summertime, and WGIGO, while not up there with the bands best work are all fun semi-rocking songs to me. After track 6, the albums goes downhill fast. 4 out of the six second half songs are boring as all hell to different degrees, the only exceptions to me being "The Last Night" and "I Love This Town", and neither of those two quite matches anything on the first "side". All In all, I still think it's a good album.
Still listen to Memory, AOD, WLOL, and LH most.
Though I have been listening to Summertime lately.

I love the album, better than HAND by a long shot. Nowhere near as good as Bounce is though, best album is Bounce IMO. Lost Highway gets an 8 out of 10 from me!

Personal favourites: Whole Lot Of Leaving, Seat Next To You, The Last Night, One Step Closer and I Love This Town.

Also, Walk Like A Man is amazing.

Post-2000 albums:

1. Bounce
2. Lost Highway
3. Crush
4. Have A Nice Day

For me, it's the band cd I listen to the most, along with These Days. I really enjoy the songs both musically and lyrically. Lyrically, the songs connect with me.

I agree. It seems like yesterday they were out promoting the album on the Today Show and programs like that and not to mention the whole O2 gig.
