Editorial Reviews :
One of the few lineups to make the leap from 1980s 'hair band' into long-term semi-respectability, Bon Jovi's eighth studio album is somewhat true to the band's pop-metal roots, though Bounce is ultimately mellower and more theatrical than previous outings. 'Undivided' might be a Tom Waits number, all gravelly vocals and booming drums hinting at a dark hipness before kicking into a commercial, lush chorus. Still, it's got a pleasing edginess, as does the toe-tapping, mechanized feel of 'Everyday.' Jon Bon Jovi's forays into film have clearly influenced Bounce. 'You Had Me from Hello,' the title nicked from Jerry Maguire, is spare, poignant, and gentle, while 'The Right Side of Wrong' references Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid and has a piano-heavy Springsteen-meets-Billy Joel feel. Typical ballads like 'Joey' and 'All About Loving You' also populate the album, which often feels like a singer-songwriter outing, or a movie soundtrack, rather than an album by a veteran rock band. Some of Bounce's bouncier tunes may still appeal to the now-middle-aged fans of the band's 'Livin' on a Prayer' era, while the melodrama marking much of the album might lose those who prefer headbanging over Bon Jovi's more mellow and grandiose musical musings.
Buyer Reviews :
The best way to describe Bounce is an album that is easy to listen to. It has a nice mix of the 9/11 tribute (Undivided), but also some great rock tunes to it (Hook Me Up and Everyday are my favs), along with a few ballads (You Had Me From Hello). It is SO much better than Crush, but there's a big part of me that wants them to get back to their classic sound that I love so much... But thats ok -- I'll get over it! Bounce is full of beautiful lyrics and great sounds that can appeal to a wide variety of listeners, whether they are new fans or old.
