IMO Bounce is far superior to Crush. It has a very hard edge to most of the songs and is much more aggresive. I don't consider it to be up to the standards of New Jersey or These Days but I find I do play it regularly. Maybe because of the time of my life when it was released and it takes me back. If any album can do that to you then it's gotta be worth something.

My favourite tracks on there are Undivided, The Distance, Hooks Me Up, Love Me Back To Life, and Bounce. Everyday is ok but just seems like a second-rate It's My Life, Joey a very powerful song but IMO you have to be in the mood, and Misunderstood I have a soft spot for even though it is quite poppy. All About Loving You IMO isn't as terrible as people make out but I really don't think it should have been a single, You Had Me From Hello I like because, again, takes me back and it's just a warm, heart-felt song, but Open All Night I'm not amazingly fussed on but still an ok track.

The b-sides from the Bounce sessions are generally IMO all very good, but there are some that should have been album tracks, such as Standing, Another Reason To Believe and No Regrets because I think the meanings of these songs are very poignent to the 9/11 theme. Others like Breathe and Alive are still good but I'm not bothered that they weren't included on Bounce.
