Make 'Bounce' great!

i think bounce gets a rough press, unfairly so. we can dance should perhaps have been included somewhere though.

If it was that choice of songs, I'd probably put Another Reason To Believe as the last song (and maybe give it a nice long outro ), bookend the album with the two specifically 9/11 songs

I'd make that album an EP:

1. Undivided
2. Everyday
3. Bounce
4. Misunderstood

To me, most of the B-sides are totally overrrated. I would just make one change: "Postcards From The Wasteland" ending the album instead of OAN alone would make it miles better.

For me it would be improved if Joey was removed and You Had Me From Hello was replaced by Alive.

I don't mind Misunderstood at all, in fact I prefer it over Right Side Of Wrong.

I always loved Another Reason To Believe- could never understand why it was left off the album, and likewise never got why Open All Night was included.

Bounce coulda been better as the b-sides were better than some of the album tracks, but when you get right down to it and compare the songs as a whole to earlier albums it just doesn't cut it. It's too pop orientated and a lot of the songs just make me cringe. Bon Jovi seem to be just trying to appeal to teenage girls and married women. There's very little edgyness about them these days. HAND was a bit better, but it was still a bit over produced.
