Colton: Magic and The Rising are more varied in sound IMO, but the quality on the new one is nearly as good. The new one has a nostalgic, wholesome Springsteen feel. And at his age and the state of the world, that makes sense.

I agree with wham. For me, his golden era are his six first studio albums. All are really amazing.

I agree with wham [4]

Are Magic and The Rising the best offerings of his post golden era? I've never heard em and I'm kinda interested which ones you think are best.

I absolutely loved The Rising....very emotional post 9/11 subject matter.....one of his very best albums in my opinion

Ughh double post.

Album Rating: 3.5

i remember loving wrecking ball when it came out, but i think this might be better than that one

Titan, i have to say I have never heard the Rising although I own it, to me it was another flag flying cash in on 9/11, I wanted and needed things not to be about 9/11, escapism. I have a few of his more recent work but for me his career is Nebraska and backwards. and throw in Tom Joad from the early 90's

when I watch him now it just seems hokey to me, maybe Im too harsh

is this along the lines of his broadway show? which was very much a story telling show

I wasn't impressed with The Rising, and I only liked Magic a little better. I actually thought Western Stars was his best album since the mid-'80s.

I don't think I'll ever listen to this man's entire discography, so all I can say is I really enjoyed this. He's still got game.

I put The Rising above the River and Born in the USA.

"I love Bruce however over the last decade he has gone off the deep end. He has become a weird rendition of himself, uncomfortably nostalgic and sensitive."



I kinda know what you mean, although I've still liked some of the releases as a whole (The Rising, Magic and Wrecking Ball). This doesn't blow me away but there's still some great songs I'd add to a playlist. Janey needs a shooter and Rainmaker are top notch.

Ghosts is, without a doubt, the opening song they go with on the new tour. That song is huge!

this is coo

'I put The Rising above the River and Born in the USA.'

I think I do too.

Wham bro, the songs are really strong in my opinion, especially the back end of the record, and I never saw it as him cashing in on 9/11. You can feel his emotion in most of those songs. As a local boy to NYC, I was able to relate to his sentiment. I worked down on ground zero for 68 straight 12 hour days. The experience was surreal.

Man Power of Prayer is hitting hard for some reason. Love the pianos.

I hear you Titan bro maybe I will get it a listen, I guess by the time it came out I was done with the whole fake patriotism thing, I wasnt horribly effected by the whole 9/11 thing the closest I got was my dads building in Chicago then the Sears tower was evacuated and we had to go pick him up because the train lines were down, so I dont have that I was there urge to make this record important to me.
The Rising is a good song, but I guess I unfairly dissed the rest of the record

his first album came out in 72 I believe almost 50 years ago

Well deserved feature.
