What would you do to make Bounce better?

I went with JB/RS/DC... Absolutely!

I would also add a few songs, that would have made a big difference.

between the first and the third ... so my vote is for the third, because i think it could have a bit of the first option it it

I chose the first one

Seems a lot of people want more songs. I'll try and add that in if I can.

Make the songs longer (more guitar solos, etc.)

There aren't so many guitar solos, but the ones that are there is really good...

Too many too over-sweet songs. Too many co-writers. Bad producer (pop seems to rock!). Liked the new sound in Undivided, Everyday, Misunderstood (not that much new), The Distance was fine too. Missing good rock-ballads and would have loved too see more artistic peaces (like in These Days).

And then some extremely fast rock song, almost punk :P

umm, but not all of these in one record.

How 'bout " After These Days" (i.e. TD2)?

so you agree with me then, option 6, I write and produce the album!!!!!!!

Ok, what I'd do is:
Add more guitar solos. Some really good ones. HMU's would be about 1 minute long and Bounce's would be 30-45 seconds long, instead of 14.
Add 2 more songs, No Regrets and Postcards. I'd also put Bounce at either the end or the beginning. I've not heard Alive, but I get the feeling that it should've been added.
I don't understand why people talk about other songwriters. I thought it was just JBJ/RS doing the writing. You know, the acoustic guitars, tape players, band complaining cause they can't figure out the key...? What songs weren't written by them?
Cut out the 9/11 references. It doesn't need them.

MORE ROCK SONG!!!!!!!!!!

again, I'm seeing an overwelming majority going for option 6!!!!!!!
