This House Is Not For Sale (2016) - Post Album Release Discussion

Bounce is a good solid album, I've always liked it a lot, didn't care about most of the ballads but I really don't skip more than a couple of songs. The tour was weak though, I didn't enjoy my show as I wanted to, so some songs didn't click until later on when I found the Shepherd's Bush show which was simply immense.

But the bonus tracks were an absolute treat, I love them all. Postcards from the Wasteland has some of the best lyrics ever

How cool is that? When I was her age I didn't care about my parent's music, I had my own which of course was edgier and much better (in my mind lol). At least I was aware of BJ and liked the songs and had all those pictures of Jon. I know... preteen hormones ha ha

It's really great to see young BJ fans. It gives me hope that the new generations will appreciate rock music which is sadly forgotten in the mainstream radio

That song disappeared from my playlists. Enough said

I also never liked the HAND (the song) lyrics. Trying waaaaay too hard. I've mellowed over the years and I don't skip it too often. The video was overkill. We get it... you are sooo cool... But I liked the dog video (the Who says video I mean)

I agree with LMS, so fake and calculated. I thought it was only me, I've lost count of how many times I've rolled my eyes this past 10 years with a BJ lyric. I assumed it was just my cynical nature. I'd rather hear Complicated, which also disappeared from my playlist

Actually, it says "Mastered for iTunes"

Agreed! For me, AALY and Hello are the ones that I skip. I otherwise enjoy the album quite a bit. Shepherds Bush was an awesome showcase for the new songs.

I should have enjoyed the tour show a lot more than I did, which is not to say I didn't. It was a personal triumph to be in that time place to see the show where I didn't think I would be able to. I love Pink Floyd and the Pulse show, but had I known at the time that it was the same lighting/laser guy doing the Bounce show.. I'd have even more underwhelmed. I love lasers, but they did nothing for me. Maybe it was my seat, which was quite close. The lasers looked so small.

Misunderstood was the surprising highlight of the night in just the way it sounded and was performed.

Postcards is one of my all time favorite tracks from them.

Bounce was good and I also skip AALY and Hello.

I loved the live version of the distance when Richie did extended outro.

Bounce was the last album before This House that I actually liked. It is patchy though. The good songs are very good and the bad ones are very bad ... no, boring would be a better word. I also agree on the bonus tracks.

I love Bounce from beginning to end, even the ballads. I really don't get the hate for them AALY is a great ballad, and You Had Me From Hello and Open All Night are nice songs too. The only weak song in that album is Joey but it ain't that bad as everyone says, and maybe Love Me Back To Life is a little boring. But I can't call an album with Undivided, Everyday, The Distance, Misunderstood, All About Loving You and Right Side of Wrong and the tile track bad.

Open All Night is one of my top tracks in the catalog, not just Bounce, the album. Stand that baby right next to "Lonely."

It's definitely an album that has aged well for me. I like "Love Me Back To Life" a lot less than I did at the time, but bulk of it has stood the test of time. I've always rated Right Side highly and was thrilled they played it on the night I saw the tour. The Distance and even Hook Me Up would actually blow me away to hear now if they did them live.

To me Hook Me Up is one of those songs that sound way better live than in studio, at least for the videos I've seen. Also, almost 10 years later and I still don't understand how it's that Lonely was relegated to a bonus track. It's an amazing song.
