I like Destination Anywhere. It's more mellow but I still like it quite a bit.

Heavy is not alway's good, the majority of songs on 'Bounce' are too heavy, even the jump along and shout songs here are too heavy, richies guitar and tico torres' drums are too overpowering and don't let the rythm sections breathe where they need to.

I quite liked "Bounce", it certainly seemed truer to Bon Jovi's past albums than "Crush" was ("Crush" seemed to have been overly influenced by the poppier sound of "Destination Anywhere"). I particularly liked the heavier tracks (Undivided, Everyday, Hook Me Up and Bounce) and the more Billy Joel - style narrative approach of Joey.

I remember reading a post on a Bon Jovi forum about "Bounce" that made a lot of sense to me. It was saying that one of the main problems was the production - on the heavy songs the "quiet bits" aren't much less quieter than the "loud bits" so that the contrast is lost.

It is also noticable on "Bounce" that Jon Bon Jovi's voice isn't quite as good as it once was, although it does sound better than it did on "Crush".
