2009-06-13 -- 5/5:: These days they just don't music this good anymore
This album is a the third installment in a trilogy starting with "The Rising", on to "Magic" and now the great "Working on a Dream"

This album really takes you places.. it transports your spirit to good feelings, hope and memories. Wonderful mix between old and new. My only misgiving is Queen of the supermarket!

Last Carnival is a most special song, it is dedicated in honor of Danny Federici the deceased keyboardist of the E-Street Band, listen to it on YouTube, I can't listen to it enough times, so seamless and takes you in.

Other highlights: Wrestler, Life Itself, Outlaw Pete and the title song Working on a Dream

2009-05-28 -- 5/5:: OMG, Bruce!
I loved this CD. Working on a Dream and Kingdom of Days were my favorites but truly enjoyed this CD. I loved hearing Bruce in concert in Pittsburgh promoting it!

2009-05-15 -- 5/5:: BEST ALBUM YET
This I think is a really nice album by Bruce springsteen,
its more like a 60s pop rock album but the lyrics are really sweet.
if your a fan of Bruce Springsteen and love his work then you got to but this album.

2009-05-15 -- 1/5:: Should have been called "working on a turd!"
Lyrics? really are nonsense rambling. The Cd was probably written during a dream and it flows like a dream sequence on the Soprano's.

Production? nothing less than what you would expect from Bruce, a real dream.

Value? save a few bucks and write your own songs then follow your own dream and record them.

2009-05-12 -- 2/5:: The Boss up for demotion?
The opening song is 'Outlaw Pete' & you wonder why he'd write a song like this, it's rubbish, then the final song is the truly bad 'The Wrestler' & whilst there are some good songs in between, the first & last taint the whole CD. Really, what's with the one-legged dog - what has happened to Springsteen, he used to write good lyrics?
