Anyway, back to Bon Jovi ... yeah, I just generally find it to be more .... refreshing maybe when they try something different. That's why I consider Bounce to be as good if not slightly better than HAND: Bounce brings things to the table like the heavier songs, the more laid back ballads, the storytelling ballads, and with some of the b-sides more of an acoustic pop thing, and while it doesn't all completely work, at least its trying something new. Whereas HAND is definitely more consistent, and arguably has better songs, but its just so safe, so easy to put into a "modern rock" category
But yeah, I digress, experimenting is a good thing, and I'm really hoping LH will be a breath of fresh air

It's good to see people agree with me.
I totaly agree about the Bounce vs. HAND. HAND is better, but it's a very "safe" record. They "couldn't" go wrong with it. On the other hand I think Bounce was a album they had to make, post 9/11. "Everybody" had to write about it, it seems natural, and BJ being Jersey/New York people, it seems even more natural.
