In some ways, it was merely getting the foot in the door, as it was for me. It made me more interested in the band and as a result, I now have all their albums and I rate Crush below at least 4 of those.
I guess what I'm trying to say is that it may not have been their best album in terms of music, but could it still be considered a big success because of the fact that it pulled so many fans in?

Sure,it was a commercial succes.I mean it sold about 9 milllion.What other rock band so9ld that much in the 2000s.And it did bring new fans for sure.
But most of the people I know (including myself)don't like it eben they boughht it. And a lot turned away of BJ forgetting Slippery Jersey Faith and These Days. Maybe CRUSH brought a whole generation of new fans but a lot of old fans won't bother buying new material.I mean ,I didn't buy BOUNCE,I downloaded it,I didn't like it so i didn't bother anymore.i'm sure that happened to very many people and that might be another reason for the low Bounce sales.
I don't give a shit.if BJ will record a great album i will buy it but a lot won't buy it and i believe It's my Life and TYFLM(we are mainly talikn' about this songs) are "to blame".
