So is the new album any good?

My vote goes for just ok.

Better than Working on a Dream, but not as good as any of his other E Street albums.

I don't think Wrecking Ball is officially an e street album. I agree with you that the e street albums are better (except for working on a dream) but I still like like Wrecking Ball a lot.

Really? It sure seems like an E-Street album to me.

When i think non- E-Street i think Nebraska, TGTJ and Devils & Dust...very solo efforts. (and of course the early 90s two shot and Seeger sessions).

It's different but it's terrific.

Right now, "Death to my Hometown" is my favorite on the album right now with "Land of Hope and Dreams" in 2nd.

Well said.Im here at my desk at work giving it its first spin, and I love it so far. I wish Morello played guitar on all the tracks... haha.

But anyways so far I think its great.

I dont know if anyone on here has ever heard of Great Big Sea, they are from my hometown Newfoundland, but that song American Land reminds me of them.

the fact that springsteen seems to be doing something a little different this time around with the band is great and should be cherished.

I totally agree. I may not love this one as much as some of his others...but HUGE respect for him trying something different. The man (and his band) are just insanely talented.

I've been thinking about this for awhile...if i was to rank the E-Street albums. Some of these are "more" E Street than others for sure.

1. Born to Run
2. Darkness on the Edge of Town
3. Magic
4. Born in the USA
5. Tunnel of Love
6. The Rising
7. The River
8. Greetings from Asbury Park, N.J.
9. The Wild, The Innocent & the E Street Suffle
10. Wrecking Ball
11. Working on a Dream

IMO, I wouldn't consider Tunnel of Love a proper E Street Band album, as the members were used sparingly and Wrecking Ball only has a few members of the band playing on it. That's just my opinion.

Great to hear Clarence one more time on a Bruce album.

You could certainly make that point either way...thats why i said some are more E Street than others.

I believe that with Tunnel of Love Bruce basically did that one on his own but then brought in band members to flesh it out in the end right?

[GivenToJam88]

Got the new cd on repeat, all day baby!!!

[GivenToJam88]

The review of the album on backstreets.com is titled Spin The Black Circle

Yeah, I believe so. I think he used a drum machine on most songs and then had Max come in.

I guess I would agree with this list. But just 'cause I would agree that the other albums are better, doesn't mean Wrecking Ball is bad. I love Wrecking Ball, but look what we're ranking it against. Those albums are ALL freakin' classics!

After the Grammys and Jimmy Fallon, I'm convinced that the new shit is gonna be way better when played live.

Still gotta give Uncle Bruce major props for making new and relavant music after all these years! Bring on the tour!!!
