i'm not impressed.  but not every song can be a "Thunder Road."  i'm sure he'll turn out a solid album and the tour will be incredible, as usual.

I also DL it FREE from iTunes. Listened to it once. Thought it was sorta whatever. I'll listen again tomorrow.

"I just want to hear some rhythm
 I just want to hear some rhythm
 I just want to hear some rhythm
 I just want to hear some rhythm
 
 This is Radio Nowhere..."
 
 repeat 20,000 times.
 
 How about:
 
 I just want to hear some good lyrics?
 
 or
 
 I just want to hear a strong melody?
 
 or
 
 I just want to hear some that's DIFFERENT than the same grunting, cliched crap you've been producing for over thirty years (with a lame sax solo shoehorned in?)
 
 Christ, that was that dull.  I mean, I really HATE Bruce Springsteen and all he stands for so I'm biased.  But that's an awful, boring song.  THAT'S the first single?!  That's going to get all the Viagra-taking, knee-replacing baby boomers to haul their bandanas out of the attic and buy a CD again?   Will this album be available only on vinyl and cassette?  
 
 Brian
 
 P.S.  How much do you want to bet there's an environmental/anti-SUV song on the album?
 
 P.P.S.  I'll give him about thirty second of "Rosalita."  That song has some witty lyrics.
 But then he starts blathering on about "Jack the Rabbit," "Weak Knees Willie," "Sloppy Sue," "Big Bones Billy," "Little Dynamite," and "Little Gun" somewhere in "the swamps of Jersey."  My God!  Shut up!  They're like Sesame Street characters aren't they?

you hate all that he stands for?  working class citizens, blue collar workers, and, for lack of a less cliche term, the American dream?  That seems to be pretty much what Bruce is all about...
 
 I'm glad I'm not as angry as you seem to be.

For 'werkin mayne' rock, I'll take Earle over Springsteen any day. Even John Mellon Cougarcamp is coming up with better songs than Springsteen

Oh, please.  If you really believe that Bruce Springsteen stands for "working class citizens, blue collar workers and the American dream" then I feel sorry for you.  I also hear he farts unemployment checks and pisses Budweiser!  Please start a petition to have the United States replace the bald eagle as our national symbol with the ass shot of Springsteen's jeans from the Born in the U.S.A. album cover.

You don't like him....don't listen...easy enough.
 Go be angry someplace else.

What bands do you like Brian Wallace?  Just curious.
 
 P.S.  What's up with all the echo-ey effect on the vocal.  Very distracting.

I'm curious too, Brian.  What could cause such hatred?  Are you an ex-fan, troll, communist?  As a concert-loving person, what is there not to like about Springsteen?
