a big "Boss" fan. He's like the smart John Mellencamp. However, I must admit to liking a few of his songs, but never enough to go by an album. "Nebraska" is very good, what I've heard of it. So because of all the hype, I borrowed a friends copy of "The Rising". I really did like it. First off, it's a straight rock and roll record, saving the genre from the likes of Aerosmith. The songs all deal with loss and larger theme of September 11th in a personal and touching way without being overtly preachy. My favorite song on the album is "Paradise", but "Nothing Man" is also good. Funny that Brendan O' Brian (pearl jam producer) would get Bruce to do a song called "Nothing Man". Anyway, despite the hype, I really thought It was a solid piece of work. Not by any means a TOOL record or anything, but it's about the best the mainstream can push out right now. I just bought Ministry "Psalm 69", Corey Glover's "Hymn's, Creedence Greatest Hits; and Sheryl Crow "Tuesday Night Music Club" at the local shitty used record shop. Anyone else hear the new Bruce record yet? What did you think? I'm burning a copy of it. |
