Zwar ist das neue Album noch nicht auf dem Markt, aber das Wallstreet-Journal feiert es als ein Album, das an die ´70er Jahre des Boss erinnert. Hier die Review zu den einzelnen Songs:
Originalton:
The Album „Working on a Dream“ is one of Bruce Spring-steen’s most stylistically diverse albums, built largely around themes of redemption and hope. A track-by-track guide to its 13 songs.
‚Outlaw Pete‘ An update of the murder-ballad tradition — but with strings that flirt with ’70s disco.
‚My Lucky Day‘ A raucous Springsteen anthem.
‚Working on a Dream‘ A midtempo „Yes, we can“-themed rocker unveiled at an Obama campaign event.
‚Queen of the Supermarket‘ A tongue-in-cheek take on unrequited love about pining after a checkout clerk.
‚What Love Can Do‘ An ode to the strength of romance.
‚This Life‘ Takes some arranging cues from „Pet Sounds“-era Beach Boys.
‚Good Eye‘ Gospel-inspired blues, featuring harmonica and lyrics disparaging „earthly riches.“
‚Tomorrow Never Knows‘ A song with a shuffling beat and lilting melody.
‚Life Itself‘ A dark love song, in which the singer urges the addressee not to succumb to suicidal urges.
‚Kingdom of Days‘ A string-washed ballad.
‚Surprise, Surprise‘ A birthday wish that „the evening stars scatter a shining crown upon your breast.“
‚The Last Carnival‘ The Boss sings of life as a trapeze artist.
‚The Wrestler‘ Folk-inspired track about final shot at stardom.
