Bounce

Bounce is a work on which Bon Jovi, taking in the modern, hard guitar sound of the time, raises a strong, positive message for overcoming adversity and moving forward. The shock of the 2001 terror attacks is strongly reflected in its background. The riffs are hard, the rhythm more tightened, and Jon Bon Jovi’s singing resonates more directly and powerfully than before. A record inheriting the success of the previous Crush. As the title “Bounce” suggests, a powerful will to rise from difficult circumstances runs throughout. The power of the opener “Undivided,” the forward-moving momentum of “Everyday” and cuts like “Misunderstood,” “All About Lovin’ You” and “The Distance” build the album’s sure core. The band’s united power comes through. An ambitious comeback that firmly keeps the appeal of the big chorus while powerfully stepping into a tougher, more modern air particular to the early 2000s. It earnestly binds the air of the era and the band’s indomitable message. Strongly showing Bon Jovi’s powerful, positive rock spirit, it is an engaging record.
