Working On a Dream (Deluxe Version) – Bruce SpringsteenView More By Bruce Springsteen Our ReviewBruce Springsteen has it both ways here. He manages to speak for the tenor of the nation with the album's title track and attempts a western epic with the eight-minute "Outlaw Pete," but elsewhere dials down the drama with short, compact pop songs that enjoy their modest surroundings. Producer Brendan O'Brien keeps the band on a tight leash, marshalling a wall of sound that's dense with ringing guitars and stealth keyboards. Springsteen yearns for his younger days with the pangs of simple infatuation on "Queen Of the Supermarket" and offers basic platitudes for "What Love Can Do." In his desire to turn an album around quicker than he has in some time, he's left his lyrics a bit ragged, but makes up for it with an immediacy of tone. His confident vocals identify every track from the jaunty roadhouse jam of "Good Eye" to the somber crawl of "The Wrestler," featured in the Mickey Rourke film of the same name. "My Lucky Day," "Kingdom Of Days" and "Surprise, Surprise" sing out with a sincerity that recalls the AM guitar pop of the mid-'60s with Bruce looking back and figuring that some old- fashioned musical values might vault him ahead into the future.. Customer ReviewsiTunes and the First-Day Review Curse (4 stars)The inherent flaw in iTunes ranking by number of helpful votes instead of percentage is that invariably, the reviews that sit atop a widely-reviewed album like this one are ones that were posted the day it came out. In Springsteen's case, that means every successive release is hailed as a return to form, the best since (The River/Born in the USA/Born to Run, whatever your personal favorite may be), and the reviewers that actually take the ti Fantastic Effort from the best (5 stars) Bruce has done it again. wow this album is absolutely incredible. "Outlaw Pete" is the best song on the album. the phrase "can your hear me" is similiar to the anthem "is there anybody alive out there". This song is absolutely epic and is one of his best works. obviously "my lucky day" and "working on a dream" are great tracks and are very uplifting. I love how bruce is so hopefull about the Stunningly Abominable. (1 star) if you're a Springsteen fan you already know this album is God-awful but by now you have made the decision to rationalize its many flaws by calling the whole thing " light on purpose. " It is your Boss-given right, after all. The rest of the world has to be warned, however: this is the worst Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band record, ever.Actually, you may wonder what happened to the mighty E Street Band or where the heck Cl BiographyBorn: September 23, 1949 in Freehold, NJGenre: Rock Years Active: '70s, '80s, '90s, '00s, '10s In the decades following his emergence on the national scene in 1975, Bruce Springsteen proved to be that rarity among popular musicians, an artist who maintained his status as a frontline recording and performing star, consistently selling millions of albums and selling out arenas and stadiums around the world year after year, as well as retaining widespread critical approbation, with ecstatic reviews greeting those discs and shows.
