New Springsteen Album: It's Magic!

[hereintheUK]

I'm expecting big things.

Rolling stone article with press release: (http://www.rollingstone.com/rockdaily/index.php/2007/08/16/bruce-springsteens-magic-exclusive-details-on-the-boss-new-e-street-band-lp/)


This is the past I like

“This album is E Street Band heavy,” Landau says. “Clarence [Clemons] has some great moments on it. You could say that it’s as little more sonically guitar-driven than any past Bruce album. There are a few sort of pop, romantic touches that haven’t shown up recently, but were very prominent on the very early records.”

I'm excited. Some of my favorite tracks on The Rising had nothing to do with 9/11, so I'm looking forward of an album that sheds the skin of 9/11 and see what they can do.

It's funny, because some of the stuff Bruce has released since the E-Street reunion has REALLY rocked out.

FUCK YES!!!

I love me a little surprise release from one of my all time faves. This means there will inevitably be an E St. Band tour as well.

YAY

It's been done.

Sorry To Be A Contrarian, But F_S Will Consider This Album A "Must Miss".

You know Sunny, sometimes I feel like we were separated at birth.

I always thought Bruce was a weak imitation of his idols, and thought it was so obvious. Dylan, Woody Guthrie, even Southside Johnny in the early days. Its just like he had a better agent or something. His high energy 70's live shows probably did more to promote his music than the music itself.

But if you guys like him, I don't want to piss on your parade. Hope you enjoy the album, just do yourself a favor and check out his influences.

this is going to be the best disappearing act since Robertos head vanished.

Poor Mom...That Would Have Been Like A 20-Year Long Labor...Otherwise, F_S Agrees 100%!

I just grabbed a leaked copy...its out there folks if you know where to look ;)

Anyhow, it is a Springsteen album. What else is there to say. You really can tell the difference the E Street band makes in his music.

After only one listening i have to think the strongest moments are on Radio Nowhere and Gypsy Biker. I like Terry's song too.

Of course I will be listening more in the coming days....
