Let me say first of all that I really do like Bounce a lot for what it is, always have. I agree with you on a lot of points except for the one that says Undivided has amazing lyrics, I never saw that, It is anm excelent anthem but lyrically I never saw the genious in it. I've always felt everyday to be a great driving Rock song it's just that there are so many overdubbed guitars on it that when played live it somewhat dissapoints a bit. All about loving you and You had me from hello are average songs at best, which should have been left for soundtrack songs instead of this album.Joey and Right side of wrong I never had a problem with, they are lyrically 2 amazingly written songs just not what people expected from Bon Jovi. The distance and Love me Back to life although a bit to similar in some parts and I feel have to much of a creed sound to them I feel that they are amazing songs on their own right with the best vocal performances on the whole album. The song Bounce I feel the same about it as Everyday, and Hook me up also, except that Hook me up makes for a much better live song. Missunderstood I understand why a lot of you don't like it but I've always found it lyrically brilliant in a funny cheeky way and Richie's solo is one of the most intelligent guitar parts of the whole album. Open all night well what can I say, plenty of people dislike this one, maybe because it's to soft? But I feel it has a more honest feeling than the rest of the ballads on this album, maybe because it doesn't feel overdone, it does however end the album on a bit of a down note.
