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 :
Could it be possible for Bon Jovi to create an album that would debut on the charts higher than any of their other albums? YES!!! BOUNCE is a fabulous collection of songs - it has something for everyone!
'Undivided' is extremely strong with crunchy guitars and significant lyrics. 'Everyday' is an upbeat and positive song which encourages everyone to live everyday to the fullest. 'The Distance' is one of my favorite songs - very positive and motivational - telling us never to give up! 'Joey' is a slower paced song which has a great piano opening and inspirational lyrics that remind us that everyone has potential to do great things. 'Misunderstood' is a great song for any guy who's been in the doghouse - catchy, clever lyrics with an mid-beat tempo! 'All About Loving You' is a classic Bon Jovi ballad. This song is absolutely breathtaking and very romantic. 'Hook Me Up' has those crunchy guitars and is a hard rockin' song! 'Right Side of Wrong' is not my favorite song on this album, but it's still strong musically. However, the lyrics in the beginning are a little weak and almost corny. It is nice to hear Richie Sambora who is all over this song! 'Love Me Back To Life' is another one of my favorites on this album. This is a strong, mid-tempo song which is very powerful lyrically and musically. I can feel the passion in this song when Jon is singing! It really gives me chills! 'You Had Me From Hello' is an beautiful, romantic ballad. 'Bounce' is an upbeat, rockin' song I can't get enough of!! You will be bouncin' when you hear this one! It kicks butt!!! 'Open All Night' is another ballad which is cute but really doesn't do anything for me lyrically. I do like the song, but the lyrics don't stick with me like some of the other songs.
While there are some songs that are stonger than others, I still rate this album a 5! It does have something for everyone. And, it is a Bon Jovi album that you won't skip any songs while listening! The band has really outdone themselves with the updated sounds, crunchy guitars, strong lyrics and classic ballads!
BOUNCE debuted at #2 (behind Elvis) for a reason... if you don't believe me, buy it and take a listen! You'll be bouncin' all over listening to it!
