Bruce Springsteen - The Rising

Advantages: emotive, personal
Disadvantages: -

Shall we say something of a different review from me this time round. Modern rock aside, grunge gods given a break and onto one of the most respected musicians of my era. Bruce ‘The Boss’ Springsteen is a man that has always known how to connect with his audience, whether it be through a 10 million selling album, a appearance on any one of the numerous American late night talk shows or even a John Kerry political rally, he’s a man with a great influence ...
...point and is direct, generally incorporating beautiful harmonies as heard on ‘Born In The USA’ and ‘Streets Of Philadelphia’. Despite not being what you would consider a fan, I find it very easy to sit back and listen to his music and feel genuinely emotive. He’s a man that, if you don’t respect as a person, then should definitely respect as an artist.

Advantages: The best 9/11 album and a great comeback
Disadvantages: none

...of a political nightmare. The Rising, however, is a different proposition altogether. Expressing the thoughts and the feelings of the everyman is what Bruce Springsteen does best; he takes what is inside of him, and everyone else, and turns it into something great that we can bear to listen to. As mentioned, it had been a long time since the world was treated to any new Bruce material, the last was 95's accoustic Ghost of Tom Joad, and even longer ...
...Born In The USA, and with the recent splurge in releases of Live, Unreleased and Greatest Hits packages some, though not me, even doubted he even had anything left to say. Exactly what can a now contendedly married, multi-millionaire have to say to the common, blue collar people he had previoulsy appealed to? Well as witnessed by the recent 'American Skin' from the Live in NYC album, this is still a man who cares about people and can say what he ...

THE BOSS IS BACK UPDATE

Advantages: Superb album. Great lyrics, great music.
Disadvantages: NONE

I don’t know when I became a Bruce Springsteen fan, I guess after “discovering” the boss’s early 1982 album Nebraska which by the way is superb. After listening to that album I became hooked, I wanted to hear more. Hence I slowly worked my through Bruce Springsteen’s 70’s, 80’s and 90’s albums adding them to my humble CD collection. So having became a “fan” of Bruce Springsteen I was incredibly excited when I heard of “The Rising” – Bruce Springsteen’s ...
...in the USA. I rushed down to my local HMV to buy Bruce Springsteen’s new album. Would it live up to the likes of Tunnel of Love and Born in the USA? Did the boss still have it in him; after all Born in the USA was way back in 1984. Well the answer to both of those questions is yes. Inspired by the horrific events of September, 11th The Rising is an emotional but truly superb album. Each track, in order: LONESOME DAY Lonesome Day is a loud, upbeat ...

BUY THIS ALBUM

Advantages: Moving and entertaining
Disadvantages: Some filler

It's a fact: no artist can speak for the average working man like The Boss. If anyone else tried writing a whole album based on 9/11 they would fall flat on their face. Springsteen triumphs because he understands real people, he gets to the heart of the matter by stepping into the hearts of those people most affected. It is nothing short of amazing how this man conveys the feelings of these people, lends them dignity and overall produces an uplifting, ...
...lives on. The genius of this album is that Springsteen's lyrics never stray into pompous, sermonising territory-he keeps things simple but oh so effective, and paints a picture of the landscape of a whole world by tackling topics on a personal scale-that of a lover left alone (Lonesome Day, Empty Sky) or a brave member of the fire department (Into The Fire). The lyrics throughout repeat many key words, such as hope, love, faith, and this is effective ...

Not so "Magic"

Advantages: Hard-die Springsteen fans will like it
Disadvantages: Not as good as Bruce Springsteen previous albums

This is the first Bruce Springsteen album with the E Street Band in the last five years but the standard of the songs is not as good as "The Rising", the precedent one. The opening song "Radio Nowhere" is probably the best track of the album with the classic Springsteen rock-sound his fans love. However from here the road is downhill with "You'll be coming down" that reminds me of "Lucky Town" followed by "Living in the Future", a very annoying song with lyrics that don't make much sense. "Gipsy Biker" is instead a good song, more "solid" both for the music (I like the harmonica) and the lyrics. "Girls In Their Summer Clothes" is bland and probably out of place in an album of a 58 years old rocker. "I'll Work For Your Love" has got a catching tune but gets repetitive. "Magic", the title-track sounds folk and it is one of the best ...

Review of Magic [Digipak] - Bruce Springsteen

DOWN IN LUCKY TOWN

Advantages: All songs on the album are great, original, interesting lyrics. No E Street Band.
Disadvantages: No E Street Band.

. It wasn?t a breakthrough album for Springsteen but from it you can tell he has grown up from the loud rock and roll days of Born to Run. Well worth the fiver I paid for it. The absence of the E Street Band is perhaps an advantage as well as a disadvantage. As a solo album its much more intimate and personal. It?s an album of Bruce Springsteen and his thoughts and reflections. If the E Street Band were present maybe Springsteen?s message wouldn?t have got across as clear. The absence of the E Street Band also means the album is a lot less quieter and doesn?t have the rock and roll sound that made the boss famous. Whether that?s an advantage or disadvantage all depends on personal taste?It?s worth noting though that Springsteen?s latest studio album ? The Rising produced in 2002 was made with the E Street Band. All quoted lyrics © 1992 ...

Review of Lucky Town - Bruce Springsteen

The Descent Of R.E.M.

Advantages: Pretty melodies in places
Disadvantages: Relentlessly slow paced

Before telling you about the songs on this album, let's get this straight. This is not the scathing attack on Dubya that it seemed to be heralded as, at least not on the surface. Lyrical directness has never been Michael Stipe's style, and although these songs are doubtless loaded with metaphorical messages about the leader of the free world, only a handful of songs, most obviously Final Straw, tackle him head on. Perhaps the blueprint was something along the lines of Springsteen's meditation on 9/11, The Rising, but Stipe is simply not in Bruce's league in terms of lyrics. Unfortunately, that's not the only department in which this album is a let down. By R.E.M.'s high standards of yore, this is average fare. That's still decent compared to most bands it must be said. However I say as a word of warning, casual fans of R.E.M. may wish ...
