Although I disagree with Mugro, today's follow-on is "Requiem for a Dying Song." Pretty funny.

LOL.

Bruce's work just got vapid after he left Joisey, IMHO.

Nine months later and it still applies!  At least now we have leadership we can have some respect for and confidence in!

'kin 'ell! A Springsteen song which I like - a first, perhaps because it's got such a rocky insistent riff, and doesn't sound anything like other Springsteen numbers. 7 from the gobsmacked Nottingham jury.

And again today too.

Never did much care for Springstone, but a descent tune nevertheless, better than most of his commonly heard songs.

Who'da thought that Bruce Springsteen would make the best record ever?

I could play this riff on the guitar all day and not get bored.

I just want to hear some rhythm

That phrase is said dozens of times in this song. This is inspired music?

Wow. As this started I thought, 'hey a rocker who sounds like Springsteen', but low and behold it's him!

Bruce, for me has always been one of those admittedly influential artists that I never really cared for very much. This though is a very nice rockin' diversion. This just might be the first Springsteen album I buy.

I have to criticize your criticism. Don't assail the new album and then say, "I will not be buying this album". Huh? If you haven't bought it and listened to it thoroughly then you're not qualified to bash it. You can say you don't get a good first impression or whatever, but you can't be as harsh as you're being when you admittedly are only half-informed at best.

You say you're a huge Bruce fan. If that were true you'd buy the album and try to like it - something you obviously aren't doing now. Isn't the chance of a few really good songs from one of your favorite artists worth the risk of wasting 15 bucks? It always has been for me. But maybe that's just me.


You're right. I am only partially informed. Unfortunately I don't have a paycheck right now so buying substandard Bruce albums (compared to the old ones) is not a huge priority. I did buy Devils and Dust and was not terribly happy with that. I have every regular (not all live/compilation) album Bruce has made thus far. Sorry...give me Thunder Road, Spirit in the Night, or New York City Serenade any day over this song. However, you may notice I've updated my rating and posted a new comment. But this song will never be a 9 or a 10 for me.

I originally gave this a 4 but I had to up it to a six b/c I actually like it when it comes on now. I had commented earlier that I think it is marginal Bruce and that opinion has not changed. But the man has a formula now and it works pretty well. I guess I mean to say it's growing on me...

I knew it. All the old-school fans hate his new album. But I think it's great. Hate bombastic Bruce, but I dig new Bruce.

Agreeable, listenable.

Not much depth or dimension that one would expect from someone with so much experience, considering his past lyrical accomplishments.

Yeah, it is. If you get what the song is about the repetition (something that's kinda common in blues/pop/rock music, you may have noticed) is perfectly relevant.
I've had the opposite reaction and the song has grown on me more and more. It's hardly the strongest song of his career (or even the album) but uninspired? Hardly.
