Press Release On the New Album

First rock album in 10 years. First album with E-Street in 15 years. The expectations aren't TOO high. :)

Apparently, from reports, it's nothing short of "amazing" and a friend of mine in the biz sent me a 20 second snippet just to piss me off. 8 weeks is a long wait.

Two of the songs are 9/11 related. "My City Of Ruin" is not 9/11 related, although it sounds like it. (It was played during the telethon - it was actually written for Asbury Park, but it worked really well for the telethon's sake)

I saw the supposed track list on Greasy Lake last week. If it can live up to even half of what the expectations are, this could be the best album he's put out since the River.


I believe in the Faith... that can save me.
I believe in the hope and I pray...
That someday it may raise me... above these badlands

LMAO

Springsteen is "a'ight," but, he is no Eminem.

I think it all started with the Declaration of Independence -- the idea that we had the inalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. That pursuit is what took America from the revolution to the computer age in 200 years. But the progress has come at a price. The obvious being the people that were exploited to make it possible; the not so obvious being us, the first group of people that were given no obvious frontiers to conquer. We hear stories about the good old days that don't seem to apply anymore. It's a generation gap that leaves us without role models. But the bright side is that without role models, there are no roles. Maybe that's what the 60s were all about -- getting rid of the roles. But what do we replace them with? Without any guidance, what do we replace them with? Without any guidance, the choices become overwhelming. Sometimes it just makes everything feel hopeless. So we destroy our bodies in the search of an ideal. Try to salvage relationships that don't work. We feel we must do something, instead of doing something that we feel. It is the prison of self-imposed momentum, and the sad part is that we get used to it. It reminds me of a song I heard the other day. It's called "The Going Nowhere Fast." But the people I have met here have shown me another side of Nowhere. They've pointed out the beautiful irony that stagnation makes it easy to stop and smell the roses, if we just let it. What would we be if we had nothing to rebel against? Well we could finally be ourselves, the first group of people who stopped looking for the answers long enough to appreciate the questions. And all we have to do is to make our own Declaration of Independence. We can embrace the right to life and liberty by simply realizing that happiness exists -- not to pursue, but to accept. After that the only challenge would be to make sure with the rest of our lives that we weren't just another fad. I don't know, it's an idea. What do you think?

Hopefully the songs will be better than Land of Hopes and Dreams. Don't get me wrong, that is an excellent song, but I want a whole album of it. And where did you get the little piece of the new song?

For those 5 people here who care, the cover art has been released:



The today show will be broadcasting live from Asbury Park on the 30th so that Bruce can play a short live concert for the show.

I have heard the new single, from "The Rising", entitled, appropriately enough, "The Rising".

I then snatched the Real Audio from AOL's server. Being a l33t hax0r rules.

Anyway...

I've listened to it about 10 times, and it definitely grows on you. It starts slowly and builds into a crescendo. Reminiscent of Lucky Town/Human Touch Bruce, with a slide guitar accompanying it.

Bruce really really sounds like Dylan - almost incoherent - the first time you listen, though.

If you want the single, IM me.

I listened to it today on the Real Player when I got home from work. I like it, it's a very distinct sound, very soulful. If someone would drop it to me via email: Matt@overthelimit.com I'd appreciate it.

It will be interesting to see how the rest of the album builds around it.

US Today reported that the tour will start August 9th, but I haven't seen anything on LiveDaily or any of the Bruce sites I frequent to confirm this.
