Bumpy ride in Soyuz?

I noted with interest that the returning crew when seen on the video
footage were heard to remark that re entry, though 'nominal' was very bumpy
and that they had, as you know who said, one heck of a ride and some
comments about Disneyland as I recall... working from memory.
Does this happen, ie, are some re-entries in capsules just more violent than
others, or is this just inherent in the uncontrollability and chute systems
etc?
I ask as most Shuttle entries seem pretty smooth, if the comments are
anything to go by. Of course, I realise that there is somewhat of a
different scale here, and so I guess you should expect it to be bumpier in a
capsule.
