Default Bounce - Now and then

I'm just listening to the Bounce album, and right now I think its way better then I thought back then. Give a listen to the Bounce and tell me, do you now think that its a better album then you thought back then?

There's some good rockers on there but as an album it's hampered by too many poor ballads and lacklustre storytellers like Joey.

A good album has to play well as a whole and Bounce definitely doesn't.

I listened to it for the first time in a while the other day: the production is AMAZING. Some great songs, some poor songs, but please listen to the production...it's hard when it needs to be and so organic also (had me from hello)

Yeah I agree, it's got a great sound to it, so much better than the shanks records, but like others say, it's got too many weaker slower songs. The more upbeat stuff is great. Would love to hear the recent stuff sounding like this...it would make a huge difference....

I answered no, simply because I always liked Bounce and don't get all the negativity it's received around here. In fact, my list of best and worst tracks would probably get a lot of criticism on here as well For example I really love Joey, You Had Me From Hello and Right Side Of Wrong, but don't like Bounce (the song) that much. But it's just me, baby

i still don't get it. The Distance and Love Me Back To Life, both has probably the similar intro, ironic, like at the new album, THINFS song and God Bless This Mess intro?

I really like 4-5 songs off Bounce. I can't stand Joey or You Had Me From Hello. The rest are ok. That was pretty much how I felt back then too.

Whenever I listen to the album I still skip several tracks.
