Record Review: Bruce Springsteen “Working On a Dream”…Plus New European Tour Dates
Rock God Cred Reports:
It’s always hard to comment about somone’s latest release without comparing the new to their past accomplishments. Is it wrong to do? Of course it is. I will always champion the days of “Greetings From Asbury Park”, “Darkness”, “Born To Run”, and “The River”…I love the old school rock n roll, the horns, and the monster anthems. Upon first listen, I don’t hear or feel that on the new release “Working On a Dream”, but I must say it’s a damn fine record. Bruce is what he is…a great writer with a knack for the hook.
“Working on a Dream” has a pinch of the old, with a dash of new. A satisfying recipe for most…but I would still like more of the “Big Man”. Haa! Stubborn bastard that I am.
Plenty of money songs “This Life”, “Surprise Surprise”, “Outlaw Pete”, “Queen of The Supermarket”,and “The Wrestler”.
A worthy buy indeed…”RGC” gives it: 8 on a 10 scale
“Working On a Dream” Available today.
