Bruce Springsteen

[Gough]

I remember when Zane Lowe was a punk Kiwi on MTV2 back in the 90s.

You caught the interview with him? It's one of the best interviews I've seen.

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

Each to their own though hey.

This resonates with me a lot more than Magic. I love Magic, and it is a brilliant album - one of his best, for sure. But I lost my dad last month from cancer, and One Minute You're Here and I'll See You In My Dreams resonate deeply inside of me.

Condolences for the loss of your dad mate. Still can visualize seeing him in the pit with you, up on the screen at the 2nd Hanging Rock concert in 2013.

Here is another, long-length interview between Bruce, Rick Rubin and Malcolm Gladwell:

 

[Gasometer]

Well I have finally got into it across the week and really like it. I don’t think it is as solid as Magic song for song but it’s on a par with The Rising.

When you scratch the surface it feels sad. The realisation that you’re not immortal and the end of the road is way further along than the start.

 

[Cruyff14]

I listened to LTY and Magic back to back the other day. Think overall it's better.

Bruce’s music is like fine wine. It gets better with age.
I won’t call it yet.
I called Working on a Dream a sensation and now think it’s an epic stink lol

 

[Cruyff14]

Ok guys, you've had a bit more time to formulate an opinion - what do you make of the album?

 

[Cruyff14]

Thanks very much Russell.

He had terminal cancer and thankfully his decline was rapid and did not suffer for long - only a few days at its worst.

I think it's a nice, solid effort and I found a lot of the tracks sounding the same.

my favourite tracks are one minute you're here , last man standing, power of prayer, rainmaker and i'll see you in my dreams.

It would be a good album to hear played live from start to finish.

RIP to your Dad.

Where does it rank in his albums for you?

Oh yeah, absolutely it would.

Thanks Revo. He was a wonderful man who I miss every day.

Where does it rank in his albums for you?

In the last 20 years I'd have The Rising, Magic and Western Stars ahead of it.

 

[Gasometer]

I love it

Every track

How sad is the closing song?

Interesting. Western Stars is hard as it's a solo album and completely different.

I love it

It is beautiful.

I'm not a hardcore fan, If Bruce writes the songs and sings them then it's all the same to me.

 

[La Dispute]

What's the most stylistically similar LP to Nebraska?

That's probably my favourite Bruce Springsteen album at the moment.

Lotta love there

 

[Gasometer]

Well I think I have listened to this album 100 times this past month and I love it. I reckon it’s the best work and most consistent work in years. There’s not a track I don’t like. The recording is perfect. I have no idea musically about anything but this just rocks. Absolutely damn spewing that they can’t Tour this album. Hopefully next summer and I will be down in the Pit again! Fingers crossed!

 

[Cruyff14]

Yeah, it's a brilliant album. I love it too.

Saw that before Christmas. If in 5 years time he is still touring with the band and has done a couple of more albums, I reckon Ghosts will be a standard on the set lists. It is a great full E Street Band song.

Inshallah your namesake is okay.
