Working On A Dream

Artist : Bruce Springsteen

Album Title : Working On A Dream (2009)

Genre : Rock

Rating : ***** *** (out of 10*)

. More good stuff from The Boss, and IMHO, a step above his previous release, Magic, which you can read about here. The song-writing is better, and there are a bunch of catchy tunes : Outlaw Pete, Working On A Dream, Queen Of The Supermarket, and Surprise, Surprise, to name a few. . The band is still top-notch, and I'm sure these songs sound awesome at his concerts. My main gripe is that the heart-pounding rock-&-roll that gained him prominence on albums like The Wild, The Innocent & The East Street Shuffle, Born To Run, and Born InThe USA is still MIA. I have a feeling it's gone forever. . Rolling Stone went into ecstasy over this album; RYM gave it the lowest BS rating since the mid-90's tripe of Human Touch/Lucky Town. The truth is somewhere in between. Eight stars.
