Just picked this up on Tuesday. Excellent return to form! Much better than the boring dud that was "Working on a Dream". The first 8 tracks are fantastic, and "Land of Hope and Dreams" is vintage E-Street Band, complete with a powerful sax solo from the late Clarence Clemons (his final performance on a Springsteen album). This is solid stuff, and probably the angriest Bruce has ever sounded.

Really looking forward to getting paid so I can go out and grab a copy of this.
That said, I thought Working On A Dream had a couple of decent moments, but overall it was almost too mellow for a recent Springsteen album.

I really like it, It's a very fresh blend of traditional folk and modern day music production, lyrical content is of course great
