Hello Springsteen officionados - I'm listening to Working on a Dream, and thinking how horrible the 'production' is - a real let down after Magic. What do others think? Does this record sound any good to anyone in the universe?
*Raises hand!* I really dig this album, and I know I'm in the minority...
I'm in love with queen of the supermarket...
Out of the East on an Irish stallion came bounty hunter Dan
His heart quickened and burdened by the need to get his man
Have you ever seen a one legged dog makin' his way down the street
If you've ever seen a one legged dog then you've seen me
Saw this tour stop in Glendale AZ and the show was heavy on Working tunes and they were all great live.
My only quirk with the album was "Tomorrow Never Knows" - just felt like it didn't fit at all...in fact on the album it has no place, really...
But yeah, count me as one in the universe who digs the album
That is fabulous Eldarion. I think you can really hear Glen's Van Morrison influence coming through there. To be able to hold your own amongst the E-street band..... Well, that is something special

I think from the more recent albums it is a pretty poor effort. I love The Rising, Magic and Wrecking Ball, all very good but Working On A Dream is drastically short of standout songs and I find it a pretty tedious affair all round. Wrecking Ball on the other hand is sheer class!
Yes I get on very well with Wrecking Ball too. At the moment though I'm trying to understand where Working on a Dream is coming from. It's growing on me slowly!
I have a hard time with Working on a Dream. Not only are the songs not that good, but I think the production/mixing/mastering sounds horrible and makes it difficult for me to get through more than a few songs on the album at a time.
I agree with you totally about the production and mixing, and the tragedy is I think some of the songs *are* that good.

Sitting here on a cloudy Sunday afternoon, listening to The River on vinyl. I've said it before, but I believe this is his best record. I am obviously stating my opinion. But it is just song after quality song. Not telling anything new, just figured I'd share my pure enjoyment of this record.
Tonight I'm thinking of watching Disc 2 of the Darkness re-issue box set.
I've been watching "The Sopranos" for the first time and just finished season 1. The ending music to the season 1 finale was "State Trooper." Steve probably hooked them up with the song.

Awesome. What do you think of it so far? Probably the greatest show in the history of TV.

Unfortunately this is billed as the final shows of the Wrecking Ball tour.
But fret not; the E Street Band will be back sooner than later.
Several rumors on BTX/Greasy Lake suggest there could be a new album & tour next year.
