Editorial Reviews :
Although it seemed the Boss had put writing rock anthems behind him after Born in the U.S.A., his longtime fans knew if any artist could write anthems addressing September 11, 2001, and not make them sound jingoistic, it would be Bruce Springsteen. The numerous anthems on his much-anticipated first full-length album with the E Street Band in 18 years are subtler than those of the Born to Run era. But the elements are all there: the joyous rocking strains of 'Countin' on a Miracle,' 'Mary's Place,' and 'Waitin' on a Sunny Day'; the dark overtones of 'Further on Up the Road'; the stunning guitar solo that closes 'Worlds Apart,' a dramatic Arabic-tinged piece detailing star-crossed love between a Muslim and an 'infidel.' Although most of these songs deal with death and tragedy, they still inspire. But while the lyrics are intriguing, what's more remarkable is how well The Rising works as epic rock & roll as it draws from rockabilly, soul, doo-wop hard rock, country, and even industrial. To skewer a cliché, when The Rising is good, it's great. And even when it's not great, it's still awfully good.
Buyer Reviews :
Is it too early in the life of 'The Rising' to say something as broad as 'Bruce's greatest collection of songs, bar none'? It's a rare CD that improves and grows and expands with each listen. With radio and music television boxing artists into ever-constricting formats, Springsteen's latest stands alone as plainly and simply a great, great rock album. This record, and the tour (which I've seen two nights of), are premium samplings of a music legend at the absolute top of his form. Satisfying on every level, easily the best CD I've bought in years.
