I should begin by saying that unlike a lot of Bruce fans I did really enjoy Bruce's "solo" work like Devils and Dust and The Ghost of Tom Joad. I also really love the E Street collaborations... I've listened to this album all the way through continuously for a couple of days and it's an interesting one. "Radio Nowhere" isn't one of my favourites, whereas "Magic", which one reviewer said had no magic, is.. It's a fab song, but is a solo song rather than a rocking e street one. My only gripe with the album has been echoed elsewhere - it seems a little bit like a collection of songs a la "Tracks" rather than a cohesive album with a strong theme like "The Rising", "Devils and Dust" or "TGOTJ". In that respect, for me, it's somewhat reminiscent of "Human Touch" and "Lucky Town". It's doesn't make the tracks any less good, but it makes you feel there's something slightly lacking at the end... Of course, after a week or two I may think differently! Like everyone else, I think this will be at it's best played live - the rockier songs will really shine! My favourites: Girls in their summer clothes Long Walk home and... Magic
