Which makes the rest of your statement pretty ignorant. Gary Barlow of Take That is responsable for about all the songs Take That have released. Apart from that the rest of your statement doesn't matter either. The fact is still that a lot of songs from Bounce sound like they were written for a boyband. To me, Hook Me Up isn't one of them. You Had Me From Hello and All About Lovin' You are though.

Wrong. Pop can contain anything because pop is what's popular at the moment. When Bon Jovi started to sound like what was popular at the moment (LeAnn Rhimes, Backstreet Boys, Creed) they became more of a pop band than a rock band.

The samples that David incorporates in many of the songs give it variety and provide a bit of an edge to the music overall.

There's nothign edgy about the samples David provides. It sounded dated right when it was released.

I have a feeling you are 1. very young and immature or 2. Mentally Challenged yourself. or 3. Both. So try and use the english vocabulary before you blast a song.

Funny, that's exactly what I think of you with statements like that. Just because someone bashes one of your favourite songs doesn't mean that the person itself is retarded, mentally challenged or whatever you can find to make him look worse than you.

This is also very close minded. This could be said about any artist's album anywhere on earth! The whole point for an album title is to connect A) the artist and the associated events he /she have gone through and B) to the listener so there able to associate it to their own lives.
|
Which is why Bounce is a shit title. No one in real life ever said "I bounced back from that situation pretty well" after 9/11 and no one says it in other situations either. Besides that; Everyone associates the word bounce with hip-hop or R&B.

|
Yeah, and the cover was completely stolen from Dire Straits - On The Night. Who even acknowledged that the cover for their live album was pretty daft. And in case you're coming up with "it's a co-incidence"; no it's not. Even the fonts are the same.

Bounce on the other hand was 5 steps up and actually included some "Metal Like" riffs and Chords proggressions.

There are no metal riffs on Bounce. None whatsoever.

I'm starting to like the fact that 7800 Fahrenheit and Bounce are becoming very much alike as the band do not play much of bounce(maybe one or two songs a tour) and none of Fahrenheit.
|
Yeah, however, Fahrenheit does contain good songs, good lyrics, good guitar solo's, good metal riffs and good vocals. Bounce doesn't.

If you knew the band was done why are you still here? I realise I've only been on here for 2 weeks now but I can still ask. .
|
Because there's more to a band than just their current state. Why do you think Beatle messageboards still exist? Not because McCartney is still touring, eh?

Oh well, there's no changing everyone and as you said about the lyrics to "Joey", your argument is "retarded" better known as Mentally Challenged.
|
The only thing retarted about Joey is Joey himself. And the fact that there's people who like this song.
