Produced by [[Luke Ebbin]], [[Jon Bon Jovi]] and [[Richie Sambora]], the album was recorded at Sanctuary II Studio in [[New Jersey]]. ''Bounce'' was heavily influenced by the [[September 11 attacks]], owing in part to [[Jon Bon Jovi]]'s proximity to New York City. The title "Bounce" was a reference to New York City's and the United States' ability to bounce back from the [[World Trade Center (1973-2001)|World Trade Center]] attacks as a nation. Its cover art, a stylized image of a radio telescope dish at the [[Very Large Array]], was photographed by Kevin Westenberg and produced by [[Kevin Reagan]]. The album debuted at #2 on the [[Billboard 200|''Billboard'' 200]],<ref name="ReferenceA">{{cite web|url = {{AllMusic|class=artist|id=p3734/charts-awards/billboard-albums|pure_url=yes}}|title = Allmusic (Bon Jovi charts & awards) Billboard albums}}</ref> making it Bon Jovi's highest debut in the band's history at that time, although it became their first album not to reach Platinum status in the US. ==Background== In end of July 2001, during the final tour [[One Wild Night Tour]], [[Jon Bon Jovi]] confirmed for the ''[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]]'' that he started to write new songs for the ''[[Crush (Bon Jovi album)|Crush]]'' (2000) follow-up and that the entire band is planning to start recording from January 2002. Also, he confirmed that band were planning to release the boxset in 2003, in conjunction with the band's 20th anniversary.<ref name="bon_jovi_planning_new_studio_album_box_set">{{cite magazine|title=Bon Jovi Planning New Studio Album, Box Set |magazine=[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]] |date=2001-05-25 |url=http://www.billboard.com/articles/news/79608/bon-jovi-planning-new-studio-album-box-set|access-date=2016-12-14 }}</ref> Between June and October 2001, band members wrote 25 songs and demoed totally 12 of them. Many of those songs were written in September, and they were influenced by the [[September 11 attacks]]. Those songs were "Standing" and "Another Reason to Believe".<ref name="bon_jovi_puts_ally_mcbeal_on_hold_to_play_benefits">{{cite web|title=Bon Jovi Puts 'Ally McBeal' On Hold To Play Benefits|work=[[MTV]] |date=2001-10-01 |url=http://www.mtv.com/news/1449477/bon-jovi-puts-ally-mcbeal-on-hold-to-play-benefits/|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161220112510/http://www.mtv.com/news/1449477/bon-jovi-puts-ally-mcbeal-on-hold-to-play-benefits/|url-status=dead|archive-date=December 20, 2016|access-date=2016-12-14 }}</ref><ref name="bon_jovi_want_to_help_nation_bounce_back_with_next_album">{{cite web|title=Bon Jovi Want To Help Nation Bounce Back With Next Album|work=[[MTV]] |date=2001-10-22 |url=http://www.mtv.com/news/1450267/bon-jovi-want-to-help-nation-bounce-back-with-next-album/|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161220112316/http://www.mtv.com/news/1450267/bon-jovi-want-to-help-nation-bounce-back-with-next-album/|url-status=dead|archive-date=December 20, 2016|access-date=2016-12-14 }}</ref> At the end of July 2001, Bon Jovi finished their Crush world tour with two sold-out shows at [[Giants Stadium]] in New Jersey. The band then took a three-week break after which Jon and [[Richie Sambora]] started writing songs, first in Los Angeles and later in New Jersey. They have [[Demo (music)|demoed]] some of those new songs in New Jersey in November 2001. After that, Jon had to fulfill an acting commitment to the TV series ''[[Ally McBeal]]'' (1997-2002), so he stayed at Sambora's house in Los Angeles and during that time they continued with the songwriting process and demoing process at [[Luke Ebbin]]'s house. Songwriting and demoing process went on until March 2002, and between March and June 2002, the album was recorded. By early July 2002. all the songs that ended up on the album were [[Audio mixing (recorded music)|mixed]] and by the late July of the same year they were [[Audio mastering|mastered]]. In a period of less than a year, the band wrote approximately 40 songs, 12 songs ended up on the album and several more songs in their demo versions ended up on singles as [[A-side and B-side|B-side]]s. During the songwriting process, the band also wrote some songs that were written as a [[cathartic]] [[exercise]]. Those songs were written right after the September 11 attacks and they were mainly of woe from lyrical standpoint because they were influenced by that tragedy. Jon said that those songs were only written and will never be recorded.<ref name="bon_jovi_bounce_faq">{{cite web|title=Bon Jovi: Bounce - FAQ|work=Bonjovi.com |url=http://www.islandrecords.com/bonjovi/bounce_faq.las|access-date=2017-01-02 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20031002200926/http://www.islandrecords.com/bonjovi/bounce_faq.las|archive-date=October 2, 2003 }}</ref> ==Lyrics and music== After a one-album absence, perennial Bon Jovi collaborator [[Desmond Child]] returned to co-write four of the album's 12 songs. The lyrics in the song "Undivided" were influenced by the September 11 attacks.

At ''[[Metacritic]]'', which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album has an average score of 61 out of 100, which indicates "favorable reviews" based on 8 reviews.<ref name="Metacritic">{{cite web |title=Critic Reviews for Bounce - Metacritic |publisher=[[Metacritic]] |url=http://www.metacritic.com/music/bounce/bon-jovi/critic-reviews |access-date=2017-01-08}}</ref> Though, Stephen Thomas Erlewine from ''[[Allmusic]]'' gave the album 2 stars out of 5 stating that album "After all, this is a record where Bon Jovi seems to have consciously decided to avoid everything that gives their music character, melody, and muscle, a move that would have been odd at any point during their career, but is particularly puzzling after they delivered an album that found them growing old gracefully. It's as if they want to undo everything ''[[Crush (Bon Jovi album)|Crush]]'' did for them".<ref name="AM" /> David Browne from ''[[Entertainment Weekly]]'' rated the album with C stating that "Bon Jovi have every right to write and sing topical songs. But the results are sonically grating (the music feels shrill and compressed) and strained, reducing the emotions and situations connected to Sept. 11 to stadium chants".<ref name="EW" /> Natalie Nichols from ''[[Los Angeles Times]]'' gave the album 2 stars out of 4 stating that "This time the music's trademark epic quality comes less from Richie Sambora's sprawling guitar work than from an overdose of strings and piano that reflects singer-actor Jon Bon Jovi's movie and TV interests".<ref name="LAT" /> Gavin Edwards from ''[[Rolling Stone]]'' gave the album 3 stars out of 5 by saying that "The title Bounce is meant to be an exhortation to America after 9/11, and if it doesn't exactly offer poetic catharsis, the existence of the eighth Bon Jovi record is reassurance of a different kind: Life goes on".<ref name="RS" /> ''Sputnikmusic'' gave the album 3.5 stars out of 5 saying that "Fueled by an emotional theme, Bon Jovi end up making their best album of the millennium era".<ref name="SM" /> Steven Poole from ''[[The Guardian]]'' gave the album 2 stars out of 5 saying that "for most of the record Jon Bon Jovi sounds puzzlingly like [[Elvis Costello]] or [[Elton John]], and sugary ballads predominate, with Bruce Hornby-like piano intros and tasteful acoustic-guitar lines leading to swollen, meaningless choruses".<ref name="TG" /> == Track listing == {{Track listing |
