I never really got Bruce when he was in his prime, he was always one of Mum's favourites so it couldn't be cool to like him right?

In recent years however I have come to appreciate 'The Boss' and his work especially his early work - singles such as Dancing in the Dark, Born in the USA, Born to Run, Streets Of Philadelphia (great song, brings a tear to my eyes), Glory Days... the list is endless. Now I totally get it!

I thought Working on a Dream (his 24th album so I am told) would become a classic album in years to come and having missed out in the early days thought 'hey I'll have some of that'

Oh dear, oh dear. 'The Boss' is showing his almost 60 years vocally, sadly he can't pelt them out like he used to (he is almost 60 though fair play!) but its a dissapointment.

The opening song Outlaw Pete is one paced and very repetitive and goes on and on and on.... I thought at first this was because it was my first listen, but I have listened a few times in the hope its a grower and sadly its not.

The best song on this album is the title track Working in a Dream, great melody, catchy, happy song.

Lyrically the album is good and all the songs tell a story (even Outlaw Pete - which I don't like that much). But its lacking the 'umph' that I had expected from this great legend.

I'm hoping the album will grow on me in time, but so far I still find it very 'middle of the road'.

Bruce really needs to keep working on this dream because his 24th album just aint happening for me. Although you can't take away the fact that he is a legend, the guy's earnt that.
