Have A Nice Day: My fav post 2000 album easily. It is very pop rock, but I like pop rock.
Title track: By far their best "calculated hit single" since Keep The Faith.
I Wanna Be Loved: The demo lyrics are superior, otherwise, this is engaging enough
Welcome...: I like the guitar lick, but the lyrics are drivel.
Who Says: It's fun!
LMS: Great track.
Bells Of Freedom: I really like this one.
Wildflower: Skip.
Last Cigarette: GREAT groove in the verses.
I Am: Absolute gem. I still remember hearing the leak (snippet?) of this one before and being blown away. The verses have such awesome textures to them. Also really like how the guitar solo is super low, sounds like it's cutting through the music.
Complicated: Sounds quite a bit like I Kissed A Girl... and shares its co-writer (Max Martin), but it's older, so uhm, catchy stuff and silly rhymes are what's left of it.
Novocaine: Never was as crazy about it as others here, but it's okay. Good lyrics.
Story Of My Life: Okay, basically.
Dirty Littel Secret: GREAT energy.

Bounce was actually my first BJ album. Does anybody here have the track by track commentary that used to be up on BJ.com?
Undivided: By far the best live track from that era and a great opener.
Everyday: The instrumental backing is MASSIVE (listen to the guitar in the chorus!), but the melody itself never quite lives up to be that anthem it so desperately aches to be. The loops also sound quite dated now.
The Distance: Meh. Nice imagery in the lyrics, though.
Joey: I actually think it's a great story and a catchy song.
Misunderstood: One of the catchiest choruses the band has EVER written, and a great song all around. Should have been on the 2nd GH album. Nasally vocals, though, and the single mix is much superior.
All About Loving You: Anemic performance (loops!), but the chorus melody itself is fine.
Hook Me Up: Energetic, but rather simplistic. The riff is just four chords.
Right Side Of Wrong: Yeah this is pretty Springsteen-y. Good story and great incorporation of the solo, though. Nice structure overall, actually.
Love Me Back To Life: Meh.
You Had Me From Hello: The riff screams Sambora, otherwise this is rather unremarkable but has a nice easy atmosphere to it.
Bounce: The riff is absolutely awesome and the track itself is super fun as well. Wish it was not as saturated with effect, but oh well.
Open All Night: Good lyrics, weak performance again.
Postcards From The Wasteland: Obviously just a demo, but great song otherwise.

Why are HAND and Bounce being reviewed at length in this thread??

Can't another thread be opened for them?

Because we can :p

After the road that Richie's thread took, nothing should surprise us anymore.

Every album since Crush has been patchy to me. Normally love 6, don't mind 2, don't like 2 and refuse to play 2 on every album!

Liking 75% of an album is good enough for me!

I agree. Its nice that the board is alive again but let's keep this thread for new album talk if we can.

please help
 

Sorry guys for asking such a question but I want to figure out what is the most complete edition of This house is not for sale. I saw there is a variant on Apple entitled Deluxe edition. But a proper Deluxe cd variant for this album can't I find on Amazon? Or elsewhere? I live in Europe. Please help with this info.

Thank you!

The one in Tidal has 19 tracks.

I found a version with 18 songs on it, but there was still another song I saw mentioned on here that I can't find anywhere. I can't even remember the name something about "Color"?
That would make 19 songs!

Ok, I wish I could have the opportunity of buyins a phisical album, not to download it. I want the phisic version to play in my car.
