It was simply made to sell and sell it did. A very good pop/rock album.


Let It Rock - Good opener. Love the "Whoa-oooooa", so catchy. 4/5

Bad Name - Also very catchy. It hits you instantly as you first hear it with the good riff and sing along lyrics, but its lost its appeal to me now and I find myself drifting off when its on. 3/5

Prayer - Another that hits instantly, although this one has kept its appeal for me. Prayer is one of the greatest pop-rock songs in history because of that reason. The bass intro into the drums and then the killer talkbox riff is just great. The bridge and the chrous are great to sing along too. The solo is good too, and the whole song is near perfection. 5/5

Social Disease - I like the riff, and the song rocks, no doubt about that. It's basically about the fact that love or sex is a social disease (or addiction) that you can catch by interacting with others. For a rock band in their early 20s then it's a good topic to write about. 4/5

Wanted - So different from anything else on the album. Great riff, great solo, excellent lyrics. It's the most mature song on the album by farand it seems to unplug you from the thought that everything is great as a rockstar, because it's not, and there are downsides too. One of my favourates, this hasn't lost its appeal either. 4.5/5

Raise Your Hands - Good on record, great live! It was basically written to be a stadium anthem, to even get the people going that don't even know the song. It did just that as well on the Bounce tour. My firend hasn't heard it before but was loving it mainly for the chrous. 4/5

Without Love - Its bascially about being blinded by love. It says that if you're not in love then there is nothing going for you in life. I've felt like that before, but it's not true really. Decent mid tempo song. 3/5

I'd Die For You - It seems they tried to emulate runaway with the keyboard riff in this song. It's a a good combination of keyboard and guitar, and decent lyrics. 3.5/5

Never Say Goodbye - Overated for me. I think the song is about high school lovers never wanting to be parted at graduation. The ballad does have power though, and it's a hell of a lot better than the ballads on Crush and Bounce. 2.5/5

Wild In The Streets - Fast rock song with catchy lyrics. It's a good party song and a great way to finish the album. 4/5


Overall it gets 4/5. It's a good party album and makes you want to party your ass off when you hear it. When listening to the album you can just picture the band on tour having loads of fun with booze and women, and it makes you want to be a part of it. Perhaps one of the most "fun" albums that I own.
