Default Undivided? couldn't this have been.....

Undivided, could be the best song on the album, depending on who you ask. When you look at the artwork for the album, the cover, the other song titles, the guitar riffs, the theme etc.....dont you think this album should have been called Undivided? i picture the album cover saying **BON JOVI ** UNDIVIDED** and i think its so powerful, i can live with Bounce and its only the content that matters, i just feel that to non-jovi fans it looks kinda weak for the heavy rock album it can be described as. Yes the fans did vote, but look at our options....One? (U2 song) and Won? meaning what? i dunno, i just never got sold on the whole name Bounce

I agree ... i always thought ''undivided'' could be a better title with the almost the same reasons as the name 'bounce' - instead of the bouncing back of the band and the us - with undivided its the band and the us that are undivided.

I think they didnt call the album undivded because of the whole making money from 9/11 thing

After all the song Undivided is a 9/11 song.

The name Bounce has grown on me. Now I couldnt imagine the title being anything else

I think Undivided is a good song, but the lyrics suck. I don't need to hear songs about 9/11, I don't want to hear songs about it. As much I disliked Bounce as a title, I wouldn't change it for a 9/11 - title for anything. And since Bounce is the best song on the album I'm starting to accept the title as well.

9/11. It's happened and nothing will bring those people back. Not even killing those responsible. So why not give it a rest? And no, I'm not cynic, just realist.

Yeah, Undivided would have been a great title for the album.

I like BOUNCE as a title. That's what the band is about. And the song is amazing. I think it's the best on the album.

There is so much attitude here. IMO that's what true r'n'r is. They must release Bounce as a single.

Undivided is a good song. But as an album title what does it represent?

I didnŽt like the title Bounce at all when I first heard it. But now that IŽve actually heard the album I have to say, that Bounce is the perfect name for the record. It reflects the emotions on it. I wouldnŽt change the title into Undivided, though I also like that idea.

Default it means.

Undivided could mean the same as Bounce, the band, as americans are... Undivided. I just feel that the word has more power to it
