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. --Katherine Turman

1) GOD THEY ROCK!!!   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
Words cannot describe how awesome BON JOVI is!!! I am their #1 fan and no other group in this world produces such quality / entertaining / heartfelt music. I RECOMMEND YOU BUY BOUNCE and ALL OF THEIR CDs!!!

2) Best Effort to Date   [Rating: 4 out of 5]
I'm going to go out on a limb here. I think this is Bon Jovi's best album to date. The song writing is top notch, they have defintly grown as muscians. My favorite song is Right Side of Wrong followed by Joey. I can't find a flaw in this album what-so-ever. This is one of my favorite bands of all time and they just seem to be getting better with time. Even my kids are becoming Bon Jovi fans and they really dig this disc. If you don't have it, you should give it a try. A solid, solid cd.

3) Worth buying for the single...but not much else.   [Rating: 3 out of 5]
I was disappointed by this, especially after Crush. It's not their strongest album by far, but I did enjoy a couple of the tracks. The title track is worth a listen, if nothing else.Bon Jovi is a great studio band, but I feel like in recent years their albums have been weakening in favor of an extremely strong stage show. They're incredible live. The studio performances sound over-produced, while the raw and charismatic onstage versions of the same songs are simply amazing.

4) Good listening album   [Rating: 4 out of 5]
This may not be a 5 star album, but it is still very good. Bon Jovi usually has 5 or so songs per album that just make me go 'WOW!!!" This album does not have that, it is just loaded with really good, nice listening songs! Mostly uptempo, Pop music! This will be a good album just to pop in when you are relaxing around the house! My Two favorite songs are "Right Song Of Wrong" and "Open All Night." These songs do make me go 'WOW!" They are super ballads with a lot of emotion. The title track is a very fun song, uptempo and lively.

5) Yet another great cd of theirs @}->---   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
Bon Jovi are my all time favourite group. I've loved them from the start back in the 80's. The reason they are still around today is because their fans still love them because they keep producing brilliant cds. This is another great cd and I still listen to it. Love Me Back To Life is my favourite song on here, but they are all good and whilst they do have similar sounds for many of their songs, the thing that separates them all is their lyrics. Jon and Richie together are superb writers and although Everyday is the one hit from this cd, if you go buy it, you will find your own hits on here. All good songs.
